First Diptych Frame Build

Trying to do my first diptych frame for 2 vertical 8x10 inch Ambrotypes. I had some issues with the middle dividing piece. It took me 8 tries to get something that kinda fits. On the good side, I improved at making the dividers.

This is the third time I have tried to use the biscuit joiner I’m a frame. Gluing the corners requires a system and needs to be done fairly quickly. My first attempt was a comedy of errors.

I am still learning my tools. I used the miter saw, the jigsaw, the biscuit joiner, the belt sander amd the router on this frame build. I will be using the orbital next before staining.

Plenty of struggles today but things are moving forward! I want to try a 14x14 inch diptych frame soon.
