Arts and Crafts style mirror inspired by Stickley's #68. It's a 3 pane mirror with pegged mortise and tenon construction. The top horizontal piece is called an inverted V (because it sort of resembles a broad letter v upsode down). The mortise and tenons were made on the MLCS horizontal router table.

This project details the design and construction of a Flag and Certificate Display Case.  I made a display case for my father-in-law that holds an American flag and certificate. The flag and certificate were presented to him by an active Navy Seal serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The certificate shows the date the flag was flown over Camp Patton in Fallujah. This was quite an honor for my father-in-law, and the flag and certificate deserved a special case to preserve and protect them.

 

The display case is constructed from red oak. The corners of the case feature a contrasting dovetail shaped inlay of walnut.


This video covers:

  • Mitering basics
  • Biscuit Joinery
  • Dovetail shaped inlay
  • Installing glass
  • Matte cutting
