Make a wooden picture frame for a digital photo.

I wanted to make a gift for my grandmother for her birthday, so I made her a wood frame for a digital photo player.

I removed the original plastic frame. There are tabs that stick up from the display…

I removed the tabs with a hack saw blade.

I then sanded it down smooth.

I did draw up a few ideas on what I wanted, but did not use them.

Here is a small example piece and how it fits.

First I setup my router table and made a custom jig to make a V cut.

I adjusted my jig then I made a second V cut next to the first.

Then I adjusted everything and make a round over cut.

I made the jig closer so I can route a flat edge standing up.

Here is what everything looked like. After this step I sanded everything down and cut them to length.

I then made a jig to glue the frame together.

I used regular wood glue for this. It has lasted many years so far.

Here it is glued together before stain.

Now a view with the stain applied.

This is what it looks like where the unit is on display.

Here is a view of the back.
