Figure 1: The big iron Besse clamps are indispensable it seems to me
This page starts the next project, which is the build-out of the north dining room wall with glass-case (and other) cabinetry. The purpose of the cases is to display a significant collection of antique Tiffin glass (circa 1870 – 1925). It’s quite beautiful, so needs cabinetry to match. This may be a tall order for a novice woodruiner, but I’m gonna give it a fly.
