I had two large glass frames to make last Friday to match a set of raised panel cherry cabinet doors. Seeing as it is Monday, I thought I would share my process:
Carefully select two matching flat planks of cherry with minimal sap on back for the panels.
S4S, crosscut, pre-plane to thickness because finished panels are over 24" wide, and glue up for best grain flow, along with the rest of the doors.
Trim to size, widebelt, raise edges, ROS profiles
Process cope and stick as normal.
Glue up all doors and leave 1/2 hour early, because Friday (YAY!)
On Monday, widebelt, bump sand ends, run outside edge profile and check over paperwork in preparation for doing invoice.
Notice original order say "frames for glass." Practice nautical vocabulary.
Drill each corner on the big panels. Jigsaw 1/4" away from inside of frame, snap out remains of panel, rout out back of frame with 1/2" rebate bit in router table.
That's how we roll sometimes on Monday. Laughing now...
