Custom Bird Feeder Part 1

This is the set up to join a couple pieces of wood to make the roof for a custom birdfeeder. I was contacted by a gentleman out of state to recreate the birdfeeder he has in his yard. He sent me pictures and a few measurements and using both his dimensions and pictures, I was able to create a pattern using my digital angle finder and a scaling technique to determine sizes and angles. In this vice setup I have 4 pieces of 1"x5" about 18 inches long and 2 are jointed together with a 1/4" groove cut in the middle of the boards and I have 1/4" plywood glued in the grooves to act as biscuits to hold the joints strong, making 2 larger boards out of 4 smaller boards. Tomorrow I will be undoing the clamps and proceeding with the project. Thanks for watching!
