PROCESS
STEP 1: Four-square and plane all of the boards to size and thickness. Crosscheck each board for squareness, and choose and clearly mark the show faces of each board. Set the boards off to the side.
To make the templates for the period profiles, take your template material and create two pieces for each profile, halved on a centre line. We used offcuts of white hardboard. Stick them together back-to-back with thin double-sided adhesive tape. This allows you to draw and cut out both halves of your templates by only marking half of the profile and cutting once. Cut out the template profiles with a coping saw. Once this is done and the profiles are cleaned up and sanded smooth, separate the two halves, fold them out along their baselines and tape them together at the centre to form the completed profile.
