Picture Frames

Michael,

These are nice frames.

I am just curious. Did she give you the frames sizes or did you frame the pictures as well?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

The paintings are on Masonite (hardboard). She just gave me a pile of paintings and I cut the wood to fit. A lot easier to frame than canvas.

Why not go into business making frames Mike, you do a great job.

Nice job, Mike. I’m getting back into woodworking after 30+ years and want to make some frames to practice mitering. The hardest part to me has been seeing the cutting point on my Ryobi miter saw. Trying to cut using the longest points is the most difficult for me. Any suggestions?

Grumpy – Since you mentioned it, I think I’ll take a couple of Jenna’s paintings and have them for sale, as well as a sign that says “Custom Frame Work Available”.

Tigger – Actually, I’m new to this woodworking stuff, at least as far as detailed work goes. I could only suggest more light, perhaps a clamp on light, that points at the saw table. Also, I usually just touch the wood with the spinning blade and then lift it again to see if I hit the mark right. If it’s wrong, I adjust the position and do it again.

impressive – what a task you took on.
Well done

I like to make frames after finishing other projects. It is great to run thin stock into long lengths and store them so that when you need a frame, you have milled stock ready.
