I bumped up against the limits of my ability over the last few weekends, not sure how to proceed...
I'm trying to make a stacking oil stone box:
253327
The oilstones are held into place with a hardwood mitered moulding:
253326
...which is giving me trouble. How to make it?
The stock I need to create looks like this:
253325
The widest dimensions are 1/2" x 3/8". The flats are 1/8". The slope is 45o. It needs to be accurite to about 1/64" or so, because the bottom moulding "locks" into a mirror image top moulding on each section of the oilstone cover.
Yesterday I played with plow planes and scratch stock, but couldn't quite get the profile uniform enough.
(I think mitering and fitting the corners will be the easiest part, using a miter a shooting board, but if I get the moulding figured out, that will be the next challenge!)
Any suggestions?
