How to make a log picture frame

The first thing you need to do when making a log mirror frame is make a half log. You need to cut your logs in half and make one side and the back of the log flat (which is explained in the half log article). I like to use dado blades on my table saw to make the slot for the mirror to sit in. Set the height of the blades to your mirror thickness. Run your four logs through the table saw with the flat side against the fence. Now set your miter saw to 45 degrees. Place your half log with the flat dado side against the fence. Make sure You set the saw to the correct 45 degrees, so the dado will be on the inside of the frame when you screw the four pieces together.

If you are making the mirror frame to fit a piece of mirror you already have, you must measure and mark the inside of the dado cut. Take a triangle square, put it on your mark and draw a line to the outside of the log. Make sure you can see the line when you flip the log over so you know where to cut. Now cut another log to the same length. It is important to measure the second log from the inside of the 45 cut. DO NOT MEASURE THE OUTSIDE OF THE LOG! So cut one end at 45 degrees. Hold the two logs together with the two 45 degree sides flush with each other. When holding flush, make sure the flat dadoed inside edge stays flush the entire length of the logs and make a mark on the inside of the second log. Again take your triangle square and mark it until it reaches the outside and you can see the mark when flipped and ready to cut. Do the same for the other two sides.

Now you have four pieces that should fit together to make a mirror frame. Place two sides of the frame together on a table with the inner frame flush with each other. Mark all down the one log that sticks out. This way you can take this log to the edge sander and sand down to that line. Now put that log back against the same log and it should match perfect. I like to mark A, B, C, D on the inside 45 of each log before I sand them so I know where each log goes when I need to screw them together.

The next step is to make pocket holes on the back of each piece so you can screw them together. I like to use this pocket hole jig for logs because it is small and cheap and I stick a screw through it into the back side of the log. It is hard to fit a half log into a clamp, so take a 3/4 inch screw and go right through the jig. Look at my pictures below to see the locations of where to put the holes. Make sure you offset the screw holes on the long and short logs. You put one hole on each side of the four pieces.

Once your holes are drilled, you need to glue and clamp two sides together so you can put screws in them. I find that spring miter clamps work the best on logs because of their contour. Once glued and clamped, use the longest screws you can without poking through the other side. When clamping the frame together, make sure the inner dado is flush so your mirror looks good inside. Now simply go around with your glue and clamps and screw your mirror together.

Wipe the glue from the front and back of the frame, and sand with an orbital sander. Put your choice of finish on. Cut some 1/8 inch material into 3-4 inch strips as long as your mirror to secure the glass in place.

Framing the Early Middle Ages $65 The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country. In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham combines documentary and archaeological evidence to create a comparative history of the period 400-800. His analysis embraces each of the regions of the late Roman and immediately post-Roman world, from Denmark to Egypt. The book concentrates on classic socio-economic themes, state finance, the wealth and identity of the aristocracy, estate management, peasant society, rural settlement, cities, and exchange. These give only a partial picture of the period, but they frame and explain other developments.Earlier syntheses have taken the development of a single region as 'typical', with divergent developments presented as exceptions. This book takes all different developments as typical, and aims to construct a synthesis based on a better understanding of difference and the reasons for it.

Re-framing Strategy $199 This e-book aims to develop an interdisciplinary perspective on strategy, one that incorporates insights from accounting, business history, organization studies, sociology and strategy. The first article reprises some of the themes raised in this paper and critiques ostensive approaches to strategy, before making the case for a Latourian perspective. The second article continues in a Latourian vein, deploying Actor-Network Theory to understand the role that management accounting plays in transforming ideas into strategy. The third article takes a mainstream strategy subject – the RBV – and injects radical intent, through incorporating Marxist value theory into the canon of strategy.The fourth article applies Clegg’s (1989) ‘circuits of power’ framework to investigate the different strategies adopted by the city governments of Milano and Edinburgh, during their quest to introduce congestion charging to their respective cities. The final article selects a broad canvas with which to paint a picture of strategic decision-making. This research breaks new ground by exploring the politics of strategic decision-making in relation to planning for disasters and extreme events.
