Title: Frame jig
Post by: tefer2 on January 06, 2012, 09:59:16 AM
I was thinking about making a larger frame jig for assembling wood frames, just not this big!

Nice, but I think I'll stick with 10 at a time.

Wow, now THAT is a nice frame jig! 

I'm a little more meticulous about applying my glue, but I'm impressed.  There's probably a better adjective to describe my obsession with glue, but I won't use it here  :-D

He's got quite an echo in his shop doesn't he?  Plastic and wood, my favorite combination.

I don't speak French, but I think it holds 50 at a time. I like it and I think that mine will be twenty at a time building them.
They have some other good video's on the site about the operation.

I apply my glue with a plumbers flux brush, I still get it on the jig. I'm just going to use some paste wax to keep the glue from sticking to the wood on the jig.
