Miter Joints – Close the Gap

Perfect miter joints are the most challenging part of making picture frames.
Even though it’s the most challenging, if you follow these steps and take your time you’ll be able to produce perfect miter joints every time!
Making thousands of miter joints over the years, I have refined my process over and over until I got to the point of making perfect miters joints every time.

Below you’ll find the Golden Rules according to me – haha – of course there may be a difference of opinion out there some where.

It works for me and will work for you!
Miter Joints - Close the Gap
Golden Rule #1 Your miter saw or the miter gauge on your table saw must be set to EXACTLY 45°
Golden Rule #2. The opposing rails must be IDENTICAL in length
Golden Rule #3. You must use the EXACT same process when cutting miter joints on the rails; don’t change the stop blocks, don’t change the angle of the miter gauge, don’t turn your miter saw to “the other side” to cut the opposing miter.
Don’t let the rails move at all during the cutting process.
When I say exact same process I mean exact same process!
Break any of these Golde Rules and you, along with anyone else who sees your picture frame, will know you took the easy way out!!
If you follow these rules you will turn into a Miter Master!
Using a carpenter square will ensure that you have a 45° angle.

Lay it up against the teeth of the blade and the fence. It should be flush on both sides.

If there’s a gap –  you’re not at 45°.

Adjust the saw again and make sure it is exact.

Effort now, will save you later!

We know from the previous process of milling our wood, that the rails are the same thickness and currently the same length.
Before we set the stop blocks and cut the rails to final length, our first move will be cutting a miter on each end of both of the 36 inch rails.
Clamp your rails in place before making the cuts, this ensures there is absolutely no movement as the rail is being cut.
Make your first cut with the face side of the rail up (the inside of the rail, where your cove is, should always be facing the blade when making your miter cuts).
Make the second cut by simply flipping the rail end over end and cutting the opposite miter.
Repeat these steps on the second rail.
Do not change the process at all.

Lady Willpower – Gary Puckett and The Union Gap

Lady Willpower - Gary Puckett and The Union Gap

Gary Puckett and The Union Gap (initially credited as The Union Gap featuring Gary Puckett) was an American pop rock group operating in the late 1960s.

Their biggest hits were “Woman, Woman,” “Young Girl,” and “Lady Willpower.” Singer Gary Puckett (born October 17, 1942, Hibbing, Minnesota) grew up in Yakima, Washington – close to the city of Union Gap – and Twin Falls, Idaho.

He began playing guitar in his teens, and graduated from Twin Falls High School before attending college in San Diego, California. There, he quit college and played in several local bands before joining the Outcasts, a local hard rock group comprising bassist Kerry Chater (born August 7, 1945, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada),[1] keyboardist Gary ‘Mutha’ Withem (born August 22, 1946, San Diego), tenor saxophonist Dwight Bement (born December 28, 1945, San Diego), and drummer Paul Wheatbread (born February 8, 1946, San Diego).
In 1966, the band toured the Pacific Northwest without Wheatbread, who was recruited as the house drummer on the television series, Where the Action Is; he later rejoined the line-up. Under manager Dick Badger, the band were renamed The Union Gap in early 1967, and fitted themselves out with Union Army-style Civil War uniforms as a visual gimmick. They then recorded a demo, which was heard by CBS record producer and songwriter Jerry Fuller. Impressed by Puckett’s baritone voice and the band’s soft rock leanings, Fuller signed them to a recording contract with Columbia Records.

Gap Fees Cost Health Fund Members $637m Last Year

Gap Fees Cost Health Fund Members $637m Last Year

Gap Fees Cost Health Fund Members $637m Last Year

Secret information shows the chance of incurring them is twice as high as the government claims.

We can reveal that in Australia’s third largest health fund, HCF, patients who need ear, nose and throat, orthopedic and oral surgery are more likely to face a gap.

And the chances of incurring a gap fee are highest in the ACT, Western Australia and the Northern Territory but health fund members in NSW have an above average chance of being slugged with a charge.

South Australians are least likely to pay gap fees with Victoria and Tasmania having a lower than average proportion of gaps.

News Ltd revealed last year some cancer patients had gap fees of over $30,000 not covered by Medicare or their Health fund and were raiding their superannuation to pay their health bills.

However, official government data from the Private Health Insurance Administration Council indicates only 11. 6 per cent of medical services paid for by health funds have a gap.

PHIAC reported that the average gap fee was $176 in March this year.

But previously secret data provided by health fund HCF shows almost one in four health fund members will face a gap fee when they use a hospital, twice as many as the government claims.

The reason HCF data shows more people face a gap is that when PHIAC counts gap fees it counts individual services such a pathology tests or a surgeon’s fee.

HCF gives a more realistic picture because it tallies up the total gap fees associated with a total hospital episode which includes multiple services.

The true extent of gap payments across the health insurance industry is likely to be even larger because HCF has the lowest proportion of medical services with a gap in the industry.

“Medical gaps are an area of often unexpected costs and are of great concern to our members,” HCF Managing Director Shaun Larkin said.

“Privately insured patients need to ask their doctor if they provide no-gap services and, if not, why they are charging a higher cost,” Mr Larkin said.

Consumer Health Forum chief Carol Bennett said there was a “very strong experience of people having to meet out of pocket costs” when they used their health insurance.

Australia had the fifth highest out of pocket costs for health in the world, she said.
