Clock-Cutting the Fretwork
...finishing up the triangular hole.
| Normally I would back down the side a bit and cut a relief hole in either of the angles for the final side. However, if the triangle is small, the relief hole may take up most of that side. So instead I bring the blade back to the original entry hole and cut from their to the angle. This saves time and is easier to boot. | |
| Again turn the blade and cut the final side. | |
| Trim off any rough edges, and you're through. |
On the next page we'll cut out a hole that uses a variety of techniques we've already been through.
