    I'm glad you went over the exact size issue and the sizing. Most videos just talk about making sure the corners are cut on a 45.

    I am just now getting back into woodworking and stumbled across this guy He is amazing. I have learned more in 2 hours than I would of learned in a year of doing it on my own but this video is wrong in my opinion like another posted. Put the flat side of the frame down!

  • @budprine1591
    @budprine1591 9 років тому

    Good video Colin. I might add one thing. For demo purposes you used 8" x 12". To make a frame for real I measure the dimensions of the material it will be holding such as glass, mat or picture. Taking the longest ones I add 1/16" to get my CUT length. By making the frame slightly larger the glass etc, can float rather than being rigid.
    The most important thing you showed is "where "on the frame material you measure to.
    BTW, no whine on my video.
    Good stuff, keep it coming.

    Hi Colin, thanks for making this video. I have a multi part question. I am watching as you use your miter square while setting up the table saw for a miter. I have been hesitant to ever buy any measuring tools that are made of plastic or wood. I have done this because of I always thought they would eventually be off because of; changing temperature, compression, handling, time and human (manufacturing) error. I thought plastic and would would swell/shrink, warp, get nicks, or sit under something heavy and lose it's proper straight edge after a while in my tool kits. This of course is all stuff I thought of without ever confirming with a master carpenter. So coming from that I am wondering why you put down the clear plastic engineer's square and trust it more than the miter jig you had that was made for the table saw? Are miter jigs unreliable in general? Are machined metal rulers/sleds/ jigs less reliable than plastic?

    Thank you so much for the video! I've seen the one from 2012.where you use miter saw. I have bought Einhell TC-SM 2131, would you recommend it and if not, is there the one you would? I am a painter and am trying to cut cost by DIY framing. Also, is it possible to cut polystyrene moldings with my saw? any advice on how to get the corners together with V stapler , which one to get that is not too pricey. Everything here is new for me, never tried doing it but with your help I'll learn. Thank you for your time!

  • @chapbix12158
    @chapbix12158 5 років тому

    Instead of cutting rabbets on the back, could four pieces of wood be applied to the back side, recessed from the outside by about 1/8" or so and about the same from the inside edge for the boundary of the mat and glass?

    Thank you for sharing this video. I do have a question on measuring. Is there a formula to figure out the length(s) of the 4 sides? I would like to cut my own frames from scrap lumber. I could them chose my own width of the frame. I would also be adding my own rabbet since the wood not original framing material. What is the best way to 'measure twice and cut once' with scrap lumber? I hope my question makes sense? Thank you.

    Good job,, my slider on my table saw has to much wobble,, I like the combination saw video you made. I made my picture frames (2) out of 1"by 4" pine but ! I learned that board's are not equal in size or has a straight edge. So to prep-boards for your job I use my table saw to edge my boards straight and to make same size, then I can use my router table to make a cuff for my picture to sit in. Plus I bought screen Clips "storm fasteners" which has screws that fasten the flat fasteners that you just turn on top of your picture to hold it down. Also people don't know that the perfect 45 degree is simply math. As example if you have a square board ( all 4 sides equal length) all you do is mark a line from corner to corner and wala , their is your 45 degree. Ok , if you're square side measured 12" then you measure 12" to mark your 45 degree. If you see how easy that is then how long a board to cut with 45 degree is just as easy. Let's say you have a picture that measures 9" , ok, now you measure your board width (?) Let's say it's 3" 1/4" ... And you have the 1/4" cuff _ the math is simply 3&1/4 minus the 1/4" cuff makes a 3" width board,, ok - your picture is 9" plus 3" for the one 45 degree cut plus another 3" for your second 45 degree cut = for a total of 9+3+3= 15" long board. I put an extra 1/16" for a little extra room for my picture. So I measure 15" 1/16" long on the outside of my board and the 45 degree cut side will be shorter. How short does not matter. With your video showing how to make accurate 45 degree cuts and the easy math you can make yourself some beautiful picture frames plus the color or stain color that will make you proud to show-off for years to come. Have a great day.

    Colin, I saw a previous video on how to align you miter gauge by referencing off the miter slot NOT the blade just in case your blade isn't 100% parallel to the slots and yet in this case you aligned your gauge off the blade. Any reason why? Wouldn't a sled be a better option where you cut off both sides ensuring a perfect 90 degrees?

  • @cornwallonline
    @cornwallonline 4 роки тому

    Ultimately, there is only one way to make picture frames...a Morso! Especially when some of the mouldings I use cost upwards of £15 per metre. I wasted much time and money using a mitre saw and table saw, then I bought a secondhand Morso for about £450. They are deadly accurate, will cut any angle, have end stops for repeatable cuts and will make cutting a frame a few minutes work. I also use it when renovating furniture, as it makes easy work of mouldings for cabinets, cutting mitres in all sorts of timber and accurate 90 degree cuts in timber up to quite large sizes. The new ones are pricey, but here in the UK they are obtainable secondhand at reasonable prices and mine has paid for itself in savings on wasted mouldings and time!

    Hi Colin,
    is there any relation between the width of the stock and the size of the frame?
    I have seen frames the size of 20 x 16 inch, but they just looked wrong to me because of the width of the stock material being to narrow. Is there a way of working this out?
    Nice video. I didn't hear the high pitch.

    This video should be across the board the fundamental teaching tool.
    When making a frame two sides need to be Equal and the other two equal as well. I've seen so many videos where people tell you to just take your time and cut slowly and conservatively until you get to the right spot of your measurement. But had they given that information that you gave there wouldn't be as much stress involved.
    Brave words from a girl that's about to make her first frame ☺️

    I started watching the old video from 2012. That was almost painful to watch. You were stiff and showing Every.Single.Step. I'm glad to see that your showmanship and video quality have both greatly improved.
    I agree with a lot of other folks... Flat side down is a safer way to cut. I have been victim to the recut error (not for frames, though). And you are dead on when you say that the length is the key, and that MANY of the angle-based told that we work with are quite inaccurate. To use a cheap drafter's triangle set is a better, faster way to get accurate angles. Many times you can pick them up at a secondhand store for only a buck, if not much less.

    Colin,
    Was there some reason you didn't extend the fence pasted the blade and let the blade pass through it and use the fence to reduce tearout and transport the cutoffs?

      +Jim E No reason, it really depends on the blade, if you blade does tear out, good idea to extend it ... my blade doesn't tear out so not a concern for me, but good comment ... thanks for making it

    Take the measurements of opposite diagonal corners like an X. the distances of each diagonal should be exactly the same if the rectangle have 90 degree corners.
