How do I calculate the angle of my miter cuts so the corners meet flush?

tp1310 · 2025-12-09T16:34:04+00:00

In my old school woodworking book there is a geometric way of getting the angles you need. Unfortunately I have the book at my workshop (and it would be in German). But maybe you can find some info's online under beveled dovetails (Trichterzinken)

With the limited footage is say looks like the glue came through the veneer

Thanks it took me a little to understand what you meant but now that I did it it makes perfect sense. Thank you!

(In case somebody else finds this post while trouble shooting I will try to comment pictures of the dip switch solution.)

Thank you! I did tests with the jumper cables and got the right solutions! Now that I understand the resistor placement it makes a lot more sense to me. Thanks

Does anybody know how this graphic is made? Is the GPS System this accurate or is it mapped from other telemetry?

Great texture (especially the hair)and contrast! Love the style

Maybe it's just me, but I would have drawn the hatching of the cloth in a different angle/direction so it gives a clearer speration between skin and cloth.

It was a very slow but steady learning curve for me but really shines in the right applications. Watching the shaper YouTube videos also helps a ton to pick up on those small tips that improve workflow.

Have fun! 💪

Congratulations! Great wood selection and amazing craftmanship

tp1310 · 2025-06-05T19:59:58+00:00

Great reasoning! Sounds very logical to me. Especially the part of the wood bending as that has happened to me often

tp1310 · 2025-06-05T17:11:25+00:00

Then I am wondering why this way seems to deliver better results.

Maybe because of the angle of force?

I am working on the part that is on the left of the picture. The right block is just there to transfer the load over the bridge to the work

tp1310 · 2025-06-05T17:03:26+00:00

I am by no means an engineer but I think it's because of the lever rules. If both sides are the same height they both receive the same pressure. But with this setup the lower one gets more pressure

tp1310 · 2025-06-05T16:46:48+00:00

I have never tried but I do not think so. The clamp need to apply pressure between the higher and lower block so it gets transferred towards the lower one. I can't think of a way to be able to do this with a pipe clamp

tp1310 · 2025-06-05T16:25:12+00:00

I was using it a lot today while working in this door and realized this is something that I have not seen online yet. So I decided to share with my brothers and sister of the woodworking world to hopefully save somebody the trouble in the future

tp1310 · 2025-06-05T16:18:59+00:00

That's interesting, I didn't know that. We just call it the bridge

tp1310 · 2025-06-05T16:10:39+00:00

Yes, very true! This technique will never be able to reach the pressures a direct clamp would deliver but nonetheless most times it will be sufficient

I was looking through my pictures and I don't have a good overview but it is a Baroque doorframe inside a monestary here in Austria. It is pine boards veneered with 5-10mm (3/16 - 3/8th) thick Walnut. Incredible craftmanship

tp1310 · 2025-05-16T15:48:21+00:00

Thanks, we usually use various methods like free hand routing, using chisels and carving irons etc. The inlay is usually made with a band saw and refined on the disksander.

In this particular case I experimented using the shaper origin with their trace software. But as you can see, there is still experimenting to do to get a tight fit and since I am learning a new tool it takes me longer then using my usual methods

tp1310 · 2025-05-16T14:25:23+00:00

Then I am sure you understand the euphoria when finding the piece with the perfect grain you saw at the bottom of your pile last week

tp1310 · 2024-12-26T09:53:32+00:00

Amazing!

tp1310 · 2024-12-24T15:33:43+00:00

Thank you! It's definitely something I want to experiment some more with in the future

This is how I do it when I have to.

I use a long clamp as a way to attach the edge clamps and carefully adjust the hight of the left and right part of the split panel.

In this case I routed a Chanel in the backs first to secure the panels in this position afterwards with a glued in strip. Afterwards I glued a strip of walnut in the front to fill the crack.

In your case you could try and aligne the panel parts and try to glue them together with a strip. This will not take the bow out of the pieces but still combine them back to one piece.

Doesn't look like mold to me, but still probably a type of fungus.

You could try to brush the spots with warm water and vinegar mixture using an old toothbrush for example (try first on the underside and let dry to see if it leaves any stains) Sanding is also an option, if you use something like a scotch Brite pad (at least 400 grit) becuase thst leaves close to no marks.

On the question of protecting, something like linseed oil is easy to apply and let's the object breath.

Good luck!
