Re: weighted frame (not mount)
The angles you are looking for;
26.6 DEGREES
63.4 DEGREES
Wouldn't want to tackle this with a Morso though.

Is there a reason for doing this? There might be a better way.

Re: weighted frame (not mount)
Have you thought about how you will join this frame at the corners? I don't think it's going to be very easy with an underpinner!

Re: weighted frame (not mount)
It sounds like it might be easier to cut it out of one piece of wood...

Re: weighted frame (not mount)
Depends on the shape of the moulding. You might consider butt joins on the bottom. Probably easier to join, you will need to cut out some of the rebate on the ends to make the join. Plain wood and lots of filling and sanding. Looks like fun. Unless it's a complicated shape moulding.

Re: weighted frame (not mount)
If it's a simple flat moulding (and you couldn't really do it with anything that's shaped anyway) and it's built from
plain wood and and hand-finished, then why not make a frame out of 4 equal pieces and graft on a piece to the bottom?
The joins could be buried in the finishing process.

Re: weighted frame (not mount)
Just cut the frame as normal - ie, cut the two horizontal lenghts to the same rebate size. Then join up the frame - push the fences on your underpinner out of the way and just free-hand the pins in.
Now you have a frame with two odd looking "wings" sticking out at the bottom.
Cut them off with a small saw and then fill in all the workings.

Clever bit of carpentry and a beautifully made frame.

Hi Peter,
That is class! It's really nice and it's got a huge amount of WOW factor.

I shudder to think what that shoe is worth. It was worn by Frankel on his last outing.
