WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 24:
The lower molding is a three-piece affair. If it were only one piece, the upper bead would get in the way of making the cove. The contours of this lower molding will hide the glue joints. When I got around to gluing-up the miters on the moldings, I discovered that I didn’t need to clamp them. I just held them by hand for about a minute to make sure the aliphatic resin glue made a good bond between the two pieces of wood. Them, I simply set them aside to let them dry completely. There was plenty of “set” between the pieces to keep the joint tight.
Next, I made the upper and lower rails for the Waist. Since the construction of the doors for the Waist and the Base will be about the same, I’ll hold off on making the Waist door for right now and make them both together when I make the door for the Base.
