Day 7- making frames and touch ups

Today we are doing mostly hand working and working on making the wooden frames. We learned about the different types of cuts. There is the Rabbet, where you cut a little bit of the corner off and the miter cut where you cut the wood at a 45 degree angle. Based on how thick or diorama was, we got paired with another person to share the wood, My diorama is many layers so I had my own wood to use. Before I did anything with the wood, I had to retouch the layers, lined up the layers better, and glued some parts better together. When I was cutting the wood, I cut it too small at first and had to re-cut two pieces. Luckily, the top and bottom pieces were a good length.
