About this Event
Prerequisites - To join this class, you will need to have taken the Woodshop 101 course at the Charlotte MakerSpace.
We will provide
- Hard Maple wood for the frame and Walnut splines
- 8 by 10 acrylic sheet
- Mat board and picture frame hanging hardware
- One (1) 8” by 6” printed photo (for this, email photo to [email protected] at least 1 week before the class)
What you will do - In the class, you will learn how to measure your artwork and come up with a cut-list for the frame. You will use the table saw to rip wood to the right dimensions and create the rabbet profiles and cut mitres (45 degree angles) before glueing the frame. After the glue has dried, you will cut grooves for splines in the corners and glue contrasting splines to reinforce the joint.
