Project - "Making the Grandfather's Clock - Continuing the Frames
She now rabbets all the inside edges where the glass pieces will go. |

 |
The rabbet bit has given her a very nice and smooth rabbet, but, of course, the bearing's size has "rounded" the corners. Beth will have to try her hand with the chisel. |
She starts by using a straight edge and knife to score a straight line using the straight part of the rabbet as a guide. |
 |
 |
She uses the line to place her chisel and with a series of small cuts, makes a square corner. |
With the bulk of the material removed, she uses hand pressure to shear the rabbet walls smooth. |
 |
 |
Her first square corner looks fine. Now, 15 to go — but they do go very quickly. |
She now moves to the next section. This is the back and is a rail and stile frame with two raised panels and at the top, a 1/4" plywood panel. Here, Beth checks all the components for size and chooses the orientation of the grain. |
