[QUOTE="Carroll, post: 89359, member: 9246"] [b]Re: Framing kits without wood????[/b] Hi Laura, Rick's suggestion for gluing mitre joints with a corner clamp is a good one. Another method is using pocket screws to fasten the mitre joints together when gluing them. I just finished a custom oak bathroom vanity, and used pocket screws to fasten the face frame to the cabinet. I have also used pocket screws to join mitre joints for frames, such as would be made out of old barn wood. I purchased my Kreg pocket screw kit at Lowe's. I am sure almost any home center would have them. Here is a link to their website: [url=http://www.kregtool.com/Pocket-Hole-Jigs-Prodlist.html]Kreg Jigs[/url] I used 100+ year old barn wood in a project for custom cabinet doors, and a custom shelving unit, and more. My wood ran from 5/8 thick to 1-1/8 thick, and was absolutely wonderful when finished. To get the wood to the point of being wonderful was everything but. The Kreg jig system will work for you. I recommend a waterproof glue like Titebond III for barnwood. I bet your husband could use the Kreg jig to build you all kinds of things! (Don't mention it was me that suggested this......)
