I worked in the framing department of my college art museum and made a lot of frames. But we did NOT make our own molding. We had a huge supply of molding we used to build our frames.
The angles for this test joint were made on the Shopsmith using the Incra v120 and then touched up with the disc sander. Then a rub joint using Titebond Liquid Hide Glue. http://www.titebond.com/product.aspx?id ... 7daa20f8ed (Shipwright would NOT approve of this premixed, cold version of hide glue). I would reinforce the joint if it were a real frame versus an experiment.

Re: Mucking About With the Molder -- All That Glitters
Many years ago my wife bought a package of metal leaf, i.e. faux gold leaf, for a forgotten project and it never got used. Decided to try it out. Unfortunately the spray adhesive/sizing was past its expiration date and came out lumpy and not consistent. I think I will try a brush on sizing next time. With a little practice no one will ever know that this is a 2 x 6.

Re: Mucking About With the Molder
The first two pieces of art are mounted, matted and framed. I am out of practice on cutting and decorating mats but got a pretty good double mat. Then I got cocky and decided to add the pinstripes and that's where I blew it. Oh well.
The actual frame started life as a 2 x 6. After dimensioning the profile was cut using the Shopsmith molding head with just part of a single profile with the table tilted to 12 degrees. The wife did the antique gold leaf finish. She wanted a simple profile for these. The frame for the painting is yet to be done but will have more embellishment.

Re: Mucking About With the Molder
That looks really good! I don't see a thing wrong with the pin striping. It adds a lot to the presentation ...

Re: Mucking About With the Molder
ALGALE says he messed up ("blew it") on pin striping. This will most likely be the only place it is ever mentioned. Got to believe algale, but I don't see any goofs! Nearly all of us don't either.
Very nice work, algale!

Re: Mucking About With the Molder
That's beautiful work. I always wanted a molder, but I never bought one because I probably wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost. Now you have me thinking again about buying one. 
Re: Mucking About With the Molder
I have a molder and a few sets of knives but I think I have only used it once in the nearly 40 years I've owned my Shopsmith. May have to break it out again if you can do this kind of work with it.

Re: Mucking About With the Molder
I am definitely inspired. Nice work ! I have been paying a local framing shop to do the matting for me. Everytime I have tried it did not turn out so well. Time to master it. That is beautiful work. What are you using for a matte cutter ?
