I show you how to make molding using old Douglas Fir 2 x 4’s and the table saw and then use the molding to make a picture frame. Once I cut the coves into all of the 2 X 4 pieces using a jig, I use the table saw blade again to mill Poplar boards into 3/8″ pieces to make bead molding for the outside edge of the frame. Once the molding boards are cut to size on the table saw, I swap out the saw blade with the molding cutter head to make the bead molding.
