Out-of-Square Fix??

2K views 13 replies 9 participants last post by  Twokamprs 
As the quilt rack stands upright, the rack is perfectly square in the front dimension. The three rails (2 upper and 1 lower) are all the same length. It's when I lay the rack on one of its side frames (photo view) that I noticed the trapezoidal shape of the plan (overhead) view. In the photo the rails lean a half inch to the right of the side frame it is resting on. The trapezoidal shape is more prominent at the top of the rack than at the bottom. Hope this helps. (My wife, for whom I'm making this quilt rack, happened to walk into my shop just as I was noticing the out-of-square and I made the mistake of explaining it to her. She may never have noticed had I kept my trap shut!)

That is a rule of woodworking, never point out defects to the wife. She'll pick them out eventually. And then again there is a small chance she might miss it.
