I actually drew something for a dear friend’s birthday but I forgot to take a picture which is kind of ironic because the entire drawing was made up of cameras. So I started another drawing of houses that I’m making for the dioramas. I plan to make 20 more dioramas…
A pictorial journey into the compound joint: 2 lap joints and bridle joints. This was quite challenging for me, but I was surprised to see the result: I did it!
This is made of lap joints and bridle joints and completely fancy. The red marks indicate the “waste.” This is Jay’s example from his 15 minute demonstration. ! lap joints. Will you look at the straight sawing of this wood? He always makes it look so easy. (wait til you…
