Stick N Rabbet Picture Frames

Great job Dave. I think this is a great way to make picture frames. I would imagine they are very strong. Thanks for sharing the technique with us too.

They came out great!

You had fun learning, improved your skill set & made the wife HAPPY, that my friend is a TRIFECTA!!!!

The more I see hand tools put to use, the more I realize that I WILL need to have some more planes. I just need to figure out which ones. Not only did you learn a few things, I am learning also. Thanks for helping to fill my caverness brain!!!

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow!

Very nice Dave. Picture frames make good little projects.

Andy and Randy you guys are good friends and thanks for the kind comments. We are all learning a good lesson here, not just woodworking.

Thank you Shane, now there is no picture or piece of glass I can’t whip up a frame for. Watch and see she will come up with some piece of glass with five sides.

Nice picture frames… or should I say undersized windows with a back cover? LOL

Very COOL… That’s getting extra mileage out of one design!

Those planes are the key… awesome…

Thank you.

These look real fine Dave. I’m impressed with your planing work too. Nice touch in the house, and you are keeping the wife happy. Something we all dream about, but don’t always accomplish. 1-0 Dave.

Good looking frames

Looking good Dave – I can’t WAIT to see the five sided version! I can see you getting a bunch of requests for these…..there are a lot of un-framed pictures out there!

-- Jeff - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Joe many thanks, the back cover is the storm shutter.

Mike you know you have to keep the better half happy. Thank you.

Thanks Don!

Jeff noooooo, I will have to get my protractor out and divide. I don’t have that many fingers and toes. But thinking about it a strange piece of glass would be cool.
~ thank you all for your time~

great frames Dave. They certainly add some distinction to the photos.

I forgot to mention the glass is out of a 100 year old window. There are black specks and imperfections all in then. It added to the project.

Thanks Don, the picture of her had been in a box under the bed for 40 years. Now it has a home.

Thanks Roger, you are the great one as always.
