Mucking About With the Molder

[algale]

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 ?

I haven't been online with the forum in a while because I have been working on a Tontine cabinet for the 119th Fighter Wing WSOs (Weapon Systems Officers/Navigators). I was a member of this Wing during my military career. I will post more pictures when it is done, but what caught my eye was this discussion on molding on the SS. I cut the crown molding on the cabinet on my SS using both a Craftsmen molding head and knives and a SS molding head on my Mark 5. I had no problems and find it safe. One key is to take light cuts. Furthermore, I am working in Red Oak, not the most friendly material to mold. I have both a stand alone wood shaper, molders, routers and hand planes (molders). They all have their place.

Beautiful work (as usual), and welcome back! I was worried that we had lost you when the forum software changed.

[WmZiggy]

No way. Just busy this fall and some travel. Thanks, this project has been challenging and fun.

Oh, and you are right. Getting used to the new software. Go away for a short time and everything changes! Serves me right.
