jr231 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Awesome. If you can make those you can run door casing, baseboards, cove/quarter round, scribe molding and most trims in your own home ! Quote

Thanks I done the frame quickly, I just used a kregg jig. planed the back so even. and dado blade for glass, backing, and pic. no one sees the back any way I figure. you could do other joints for miters, this was just quick and easy for me. 1 Quote
