Also: sandpaper (grit 120 and 240), a utility knife or fine saw and, for joints, a rubber mallet.
Carving and finishing
- Clamp the workpiece flat on the spoilboard or secure it with double-sided tape, and set the origin as shown in the carving assistant.
- First carve the windows, the keyhole and the slots in the feet, then the outer contours (all with the 3.175 mm end mill).
- Free the parts at the holding tabs with a utility knife or fine saw and sand the tab remains flush.
- Lightly break the edges with sandpaper (grit 120, then 240) and remove burrs.
Assembly and final touches
- Glue the middle layer (open at the top) flush onto the back, then the front layer with the window. Press evenly with clamps and two boards.
- Once dry, slide the photo in from the top. To stand it up, push the frame into the slots of the two feet; to hang it, put the keyhole over a screw.
- Finally oil, wax or varnish; for toys use oils or varnishes that are saliva-resistant according to EN 71-3.
