Dressing Frame Complete and a Success

Well I was going to put a picture here but Blogger has other ideas. If I think of it later I'll try again.

Phew, finally finished up knitting for SWTC and can work on my project of a dressing frame. Once that is done then MS2 will become the beautiful butterfly. . .right now she's still in the cocoon dreaming of good things to come. But for those interested, and me being anal and wanting documentation the material list is included for the frame.

Material & Tool List for Dressing Frame
4 - 1"x2" 7 feet in length
4 - 1/4" Neoprene Rubber washers
4 - 1/4"x2.5" Round head slotted machine bolts, brass
8 - 1/4" washers zinc coated
4 - 1/4" -20 Wing nut coarse, zinc coated
1 - 170g package of 1" (25mm) Panelboard Nails
1 can spray lacquer
coarse sand paper
wood block
drill
17/64" drill bit
hammer
tape measure

Didn't do nothing special. Just measured in from both ends, of a 7 foot length of board, 6" increments (5 times per end. 10 total) Then marked 1/2" intervals along entire length of board. Then using sandpaper and wood block sanded down the wood. Only really did this so as to try to prevent splinters from handling the frame. Then I used the spray lacquer and coated the wood. Like I said nothing fancy just do able. Last then I hammered in the nails in the premarked 1/2" spots. I picked up the rubber washers in hopes that it would help keep the boards from moving. Humf, no such luck. This frame is very movable. Starting to mount a project is not fun at all. But you can do it. Perseverance must used!
