Hello again all,
It's been awhile that I've been here, but summers pretty much knock me out of the shop (humidity and heat is unbearable).
However, I was able to get in the shop for short burst periods this week and made a few items.
I was also able to use my Colt router for the 2nd time ever LOL. I had previously used it to make a round cutout for my shop vac dust deputy.
This week, I made some picture frames for my scroll works and was able to "route" a nice design around the edge - I used a 1/4" Roman Ogee bit.
It came out fairly nicely but now that I have technique, I would like to expand on it a little.
Can anyone recommend additional bits to use for making picture frames?
I still only have my Bosch Colt, and am using Poplar and "common" wood for the frames.
Also, I've only used the Ogee on the outer edge of the frame. I've not done any inner edge work yet.
I found a few threads here for picture frames:
https://www.routerforums.com/router-bits-types-usage/23264-picture-frame-router-bit-set.html
A few of the suggestions are beyond my abilities at the moment (combos/sets), so I'm more looking for single bits rather than combinations.
Thanks as always in advance.
