4-Mark Where The Bevel Is Cut
Our New Five Steps video is about building a Jig. I felt that the clip I put up a few weeks ago touched on this but not in enough depth.
The 4th step in Jig building is to mark where to cut the bevel. Place it on the pattern, use a marker to trace where the bevel should be cut and mark the glass.

3-Use Strip Cutter to Determine Where Strips Go
Our New Five Steps video is about building a Jig. I felt that the clip I put up a few weeks ago touched on this but not in enough depth.
The 3rd step in Jig building is to use the strip cutter to figure where the strips should go. Then mark them, cut them to length and place them on the jig.
This is important, make sure they are placed so that the bevel sits exactly where you want it cut. If it gets turned around, you want it to fall in the same place.

2- Cut 2 -1/8" Thick Wood Strips
Our New Five Steps video is about building a Jig. I felt that the clip I put up a few weeks ago touched on this but not in enough depth. The 2nd step in Jig building is to cut 2 -1/8" thick wood strips to be used as guides for setting glass in the jig.
About 1/2" wide will be good. Clip the corners off the strips so the head of the strip cutter can get closer to the edge of the glass.

1-Start With A Board And A Wood Strip
Our New Five Steps video is about building a Jig. I felt that the clip I put up a few weeks ago touched on this but not in enough depth. The 1st step in Jig building is to Start with A Board And A Wood Strip.
A 12 X 12 piece of plywood and a 3/4" X 1-1/2" piece of pine usually work well for me. You nail the wood strip to the board to use as a cleat which will guide your strip cutter.
