My little carpentry workshop has grown to six machines. 3 were bought new and 3 used.
I hope to make all my future frames here for the Ambrotype project AMBROTOS KANATA. Some of those frames may be used to house super large 35x35 inch plates or even 24x24 inch Triptych’s (3-24x24 inch plates side by side).
I hope to also make exhibition frames and frames for sale with my photography inside! I will not be making frames here not only for the Ambrotypes but also for all my future fine art, archival, matted, Gelatin Silver, Platinum-Palladium and Salt Prints.
The hope is to be creative in both the making of Ambrotypes but also the making of frames. Who knows, one day some of the framed work, made in this shop, might be hanging in the National Gallery of Canada.
Here are the machines in the workshop. I think I have enough now!!
- Skil Table Saw (used $100)
- Dewalt 12-inch Miter Saw (new $479 CAD, stand $200 CAD)
- WEH 14-inch Bandsaw (new $366.10 CAD)
- Milwaukee Router and Pro Top Router Table plus bits (used $200).
- Dewalt Planer (used $500 CAD)
- Sander (new $139.00)
Plus, a Dewalt Cordless Orbital Sander (new $119.CAD) and a Dewalt Cordless Brad Nailer (new $326 CAD).
