So
with the Show coming up this weekend, Cheryl wanted me to make another display for more of
her pencil pouches. This time she wanted them to have a tolled over look instead of the sharp edges of the last one. I must say I found this one easier than the first even with a mitered edge.
Now I don't have one of those handy dandy band clamps for mitered edge glue ups, so I added a little block of wood in an unseen area so I could get some clamping pressure.
I know the "blue tape" trick, however, I have yet to get it to work to my satisfaction. I usually like to clamp things nice and tight and get that glue to squeeze out nice and even. You can't really do that with blue tape. After I glued up the edge, I rounded off the corner with the router, Then it was just a matter of assembly.
Cheryl wants to paint it later tonight so it should Be ready by Saturday. I also made another rainbow hanger for more wristlets and stockings. Oh! One other thing, I'm really beginning to like Gorilla glue. For those who have never used it, It's a resin glue that expands when it dries. This fills in any gaps that may occur when you are dealing with less than perfect lumber. This project was not a problem, But I thought it would be best to use in the event there was a small gap in the mitered edge.
