Frame and Panel Tray |
|

|
|
|
 |
| We decided to aim for a frame and panel tray. |  |
| The two panel sections of
maple will sit in a frame and center divider assembly out of
Honduran mahogany. The SketchUp colors are not totally realistic...but are representative of the real wood. |
 |
| Each maple panel is 1/4 inch
thick, 5 inches wide and 15 inches long. The frame will be ~15.5 inches long and ~11 inches wide. The two smaller frame pieces will rest on the panel but will not extend to underside. |
 |
The frame sides will have a 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch dado put in, 3/16 from the bottom edge. The corner joints of the frame will be mitered. |
 |
| The center frame piece will
be thicker (.75 rather than .5 inches). This is to accommodate a 3/16 inch deep dado on both sides...this frame piece will be called the iBar frame member. |
 |
| The iBar will connect with
the end frame in a butt joint...will probably use a small domino
mortise and floating tenon. |
 |
| Used the Infinity 1/4 inch
flat top blade on the P66 and created 1/4 x 1/4 da |
|
|
|
|
| The maple panels were pre-milled
to .25 inch thick...width is a skosh over 5 inches...panels were
chopped to 15 inches. These panels are highly figured birdseye maple. |
 |
| The Honduran mahogany is recycled
wall paneling. The lower piece here is a cutoff of the sculpted edge of the paneling. The upper piece has been planed and sawn to thickness. |
 |
|
Used an Infinity 1/4 inch kerf
blade with flat tips to create the grooves...1/4 x 1/4 on the
side frames...1/4 x 3/16 on both sides of the iBar center
frame.
|
 |
|
|
|
| Dry fit assembly and
milling...using a cutoff in the center to make alignment at the
corners easier. |
 |
| Dry fit of all milled
pieces...except the center dividers which will be put in after
assembly. |
 |
| All sides were planed as
needed...LV small smoother... |
