Great video. I managed to build two large frames (30x30") using a handsaw. They turned out great! I really appreciated avoiding the mitred corners. Also appreciated the clear instructions and details you provided. Thanks!
This is by far the easiest most cost effective way I have seen out of Alllllll the different videos I have watched . Great tutorial video...thanks so much for creating this video !!!! Extremely helpful 😉😉😉😉
Thank you so much for this video! I was stressing about framing my work for an upcoming art show, and you made this feel so approachable! I feel like I can get the materials and do this! So thank you very much! Very smart simple design!
Thank you for the tutorial. It worked perfectly for my 24” x 36” painting. I also bought some crown molding and framed it, using this as the base. It worked perfectly. Total cost about $60 with the crown molding frame.
Great vid. If you're looking for black, try India ink instead of stain. It's easy to apply, covers well, dries fast, doesn't smell, and it's fairly cheap. You can usually find a good-sized bottle of Speedball India ink at Michael's.
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Johnathan Jesse i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
No problem! The channel has evolved over the years. It was originally intended to be for all of my car related projects but I've since expanded the type of content to DIY and maker related projects. Thanks for watching!
Haven't had any problems yet. Looks just as good as day 1. Also, I paint the art in my house and I usually spray the canvas after with a UV protectant. You can easily wipe the canvas clean after with a dry microfiber cloth without risk of damaging your art.
Love the passion and effort, definitely did a good job. But Jesus Christ I didn't know someone could make a picture frame tutorial so complicated 😂. Good video for beginners I guess. Extremely detailed. Good job.
They are just flat "L" brackets from the hardware store. I believe I used 2.25" x 2.25". They just space out the canvas from the frame so that there is an air gap all the way around and it appears to be "floating"
On your example of your framed finished piece,, the wide part of the wood is showing, yet in your demonstration, you are showing the narrow part of the wood showing, so you have constructed this frame backwards from what we originally see in the beginning! It took me awhile to figure this out. This makes your tutorial very confusing. I have invested about an hour on this video and it has really been upsetting to try and make sense of why your framed abstract piece is opposite of what you are constructing. I am sure you realize this? Why purposely do this?
@@shvaew I'm comparing @:36 to 7:06. If the front part of the frame is the same then I stand corrected. It looks to me that the finished frame is much wider in the front facing part- I am not talking about the depth of the frame. I know that they come in different thicknesses. I am talking about the facing part that is almost flush with the canvas. It looks to me that the wood was put opposite in the demonstration piece as compared to the finished framed black and white piece.
I'm in Canada... although we primarily use metric, we are subject to the imperial system for a lot of things like materials and building supplies because of the large US market next to us. So we switch back and forth a lot. I used imperial for the video as this is what my supplies were measured in.
It's hard, because when he first shows his framed artwork, it is different then what he actually constructs. The initial frame shows the wide side of the wood showing, the one he constructs shows the narrow edge of the wood showing. I basically wasted an hour on this. Would have been nice if he explained what he is constructing is not what he shows framed on the wall!!
