Finally!!! someone who explained why the need for the bevel and what direction to place the bevelled side!! Thank you !!!!!
SPOT ON! FROM ACROSS THE POND, THIS YANK SAYS; THANK YOU, WELL DONE! ! !
Oh my goodness..I cannot Thank You enough!!!! There’s no way I can afford to buy larger sized canvases so this is going to open a big door for me to be able to dream about bigger pieces of art. Many Thanks 🙏🏽
Did you make a large frame ? How did it turn out ?
Best 20 mins of life 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Working from one center with three staples, going to the opposite end and stretching that center with three more staples. Now do the same process on each of the sides of the frame. Now start over again with the first side you started and put three more staples. Now go to the opposite side again, stretch and do the same thing. Now do the sides again. Do it all in the same order, working left and right, left and right, back and fort, back and forth as you work each side.
The goal is to force the lack of the canvas into the corners evenly. It helps keep the canvas absolutely the same flat on all areas.
I do like the way he made the frame. It's tough making perfect corners when it's just straight two flat ends connecting together. Good technique. Would be good also to check it with a corner square.
Awesome video! My wife and I were empowered to make our own frame based on this tutorial :) Thank you so much!
Using screws on end grain is not a good option. Screws need to cross grain in order to hold securely. Better to use nails if possible or have inserts in your wood to which screws can grip properly.
I learned two new techniques from you that are invaluable. I thought I new everything about building a canvas from scratch for years, but I never actually thought of just cutting the wood at angle and adding an additional piece to make a corner-round.....I was nailing in corner rounds which is way inferior to what you just displayed. Your gridding in the back is interesting, because if I don't feel making a halflap cut on a larger piece, I can do just what you did and make smaller pieces and move up the center piece. Very good tutorial.
Greetings from NE Atlanta, Georgia. I'm "considering" painting as my newest hobby and I'm trying to learn as much as possible about canvas and frames before I start. Thanks for a great demo! 😀
One of the better videos I have seen on this subject. 5 ***** stars.
at some point you should be measuring that the diagonals are equal to insure that it is square before all these pieces are glued and screwed, perhaps making marks on the table to keep it square while working.
Nicely built. The only thing I do differently is at the corners. I fold the canvas under so that no diagonal layer is visible, also no extra staples on the sides are required.
I have watch many, many, many videos to try and figure out how to do this. This one is by far the best I have seen and answers all the questions I had and explains in detail how and why to do things. Thank you for taking the time do share this information with us.
Thanks Glenn. Today I made my first canvas. Thanks for having shared your super clear explanation. If you believe in Karma I hope somehow it comes back to you!
Thank you for helping me to get help from woodworking professionals to find the size that suits me
Un travail remarquable et des gestes précis .
Le résultat est tout simplement parfait.
Merci pour cette générosité
Nice video. Excellent camera and editing -- and very clear voice-over commentary. Definitely a thumbs up.
i heard every breath lmao
Thanks for taking the time to make such a clear and concise presentation, I can't wait to give this a go.
I don't understand every things you explain - i'm french - but your tutorial is clear and excellent.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! I purchased a abstract painting and assumed unframed meant an actual frame..lol so I opened it up and it was just canvas and no way to hang it...this has really helped me out.
Wow, your video makes the process look so E-Z ... haha. To ensure my frames are square ... I use a square - I couldn't believe that you would just trust that your frame would com together squarely - because I use hand tools, regardless of how careful I am with my cutting - I still end up having to use a square - I got a " monster sized " metal one - the biggest I could find because I love huge frames. I always use framing brackets and gluing. I don't bevel the lumber. I don't do those support thingies on the ends. Building a frame actually takes up more of my time than the actual painting does - which is why I (when I can afford it) I buy professionally made frames like the one you've made here. This vid is loaded with useful info. for anyone who wants to take the plunge into building their own frames. The DIY feelings can be very rewarding. Thanks for sharing ....
Awesome video, Im so happy he uses milimiters like a normal person and not inches!
Exelente
Muy bien explicado Felicitaciones.
Todo al detalle.
Saludos desde Bogotá Colombia.
Super cool now i can actually fit all the puzzles together... I love this video
This answered all the questions. Thanks.
Fantastic tutorial ---- the BEST i have seen on making large stretched canvases Thank you.
Hate the break this to you, but do you see that little nub on your huge pliers? They rest against the wood/frame so you are using the tool, and not your arms to actually stretch the canvas. The way you are doing it, you are depending on your arm strength, and that will give you an uneven stretch. Also, use too many staples will overstretch your canvas and might eventually warp the frame. Staples should be tacked on from the thumb to pinky length apart. I paint very large and have never had a painting warp.
Yes, I think there's definitely a consensus here in the comments that he's using a lot of staples ... A LOT ! ! ! LOL
It's been over 10 years since I did this. Great refresher. Btw you forgot to talk about when you tightened the first screws.
he did say to tighten them after putting the top support for hanging. waiting to tighten the screw after putting the support makes it flush
In this video I teach you how to make your own stretched canvas in any size you like. I hope you enjoy.
artfusion1 What is the approximate time commitment and cost?
artfusion1
artfusion1 l
artfusion1 great
Thank you! So helpful!!
What a great tutorial and a lot of work was put into this. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the video. What kind of canvas do you use?
I wish all tutorial vids were this easy to follow! Thanks for this!
Thank you very much.
The best I've seen so far!!!
Would you do all of this same stuff with the wood parts if you were making a canvas half that size? If not, I'd like to make a video request to you because all the other canvas-making videos I've seen don't have nearly the same quality in structure and tension that yours has.
Thank you for making this video, by the way!
Thank you for taking the time out to share your knowledge with us!
very helpful tips you got on...i love the way it's done. very pro. thanks bro!!!
I usually get my frames made, I'll make one myself for the first time, so this video was very useful. I usually don't use that many staples. Personally I think is so many staples.
Excellent instructional video.It is very gracious of you to share your skills and knowledge. Such instructional videos help enable people all the world in their endeavors. Thank you.
Excellent video. You taught me stretcher construction theory and canvas-stretching techniques that I didn't know. Cool!
Great tutorial - very professional - thanks
Very clear tutorial thanks. But holy staples Batman! Also, great drinking game: drink every time you hear "tension".
hahaha ... LOL
Amazing information just handed out bless you sir..
Yeah big thankyou brother. You made it nice a simple and encouraging. I appreciate this video a lot. Going to be stretching my first canvas and many more to follow this year.
awesome tutorial, where do you get the canvas rolls from ?
thank you
great work
mean glenn, off to do my scholarship block course in this area tomorrow and sunday, love your tutorials you simplify everything with out all the tech lingo and explain things so even miss dyslexic here understands with my inside out brain wiring haha, cheers lovingb yoyur downloads too thanks for your efforts and sharing your talents
THat corner fold could actually be internal
Thanks for sharing. Not if I've missed it but you said you are going to explain why first four screws weren't going right in? Still a great tutorial.
Thanks alot Mrs.
wish I had the tools/materials and skills to make this.Its looks soo good.thanks.
Thank you for this video! The time you have invested is much appreciated, Making a frame for my canvas does not seem as daunting now. Very clear video and great audio, I had no trouble viewing or learning. Thanks again
thank you for your through explanation! Helps heaps!
I’m surprised the screw didn’t split the centre aisles when u screwed it. Isn’t it safer to predrill a hole in that before screwing it in?
Thank you!
now that's a pair of work jeans, top marks
I've had better experience going corner inward than center outward, it's a shame so few seem to know about it. Google 'canvas preparation information sheets - just paint ' and you should find 7 very useful guides which explain the process.
Just right as what i need . Going to make one
Very good and comprehensive how to.
Thank you very much for the great video very well explained really appreciate it
Thank you. MASTER 👍👍👍👍👍
beutiful done! I would like to get hold on bigger canvases, also using the linen i prefer. really inspiring! a question, maybe a little late. do you not need to ree-stretch the canvas later? been impressed by this kind of custom frames but in my head, as you paint on it you will stretch the canvas a little. making it loose when your done. an easy reply to this comment could be “no”. haha. thanks for the inspiration.
Magic video
great explaination... I must follow this instruktion... I hate to buy cheep canvas from the shops, but this is real and professional... this is so good I dont need to watch any other here ... now I just need to find a stretsher... I even make my own canvasmaterial... thanks and regards from Germany... (*_*)
Thank you so much. Very easy-to-understand tutorial. Great ideas.
thank you for this tutorial. it was very well done, plus I love your accent...all the way from The Bay Area California :)
hola cual es la madera de palo 2 x 2 o 2 x 3 o 3 x 4 ?
Great video. I've got a commissioned piece that's 77" x45" so I think I might have to be building my own frame. Thanks very much and all the best. James UK
Hello, thank you for the clear informative valuable video that you’ve made.
I’m new to woodwork.
*** Enquiries ***
[1]
Where to buy
an accurate mitre box (timber- / plastic-type) or an accurate manual mitre saw
(in Penang, Malaysia / at online websites that offer shipping to Penang, Malaysia)?
# A few of hardware stores nearby my house do not sell mitre boxes.
I have a backsaw only ---
Characteristics of the backsaw:-
Type: Gent’s saw (a.k.a. Gentleman’s saw)
Length of the blade: 9.8 inches / 25 cm
Width of the blade: 1.7 inches / 4.3 cm
Thickness of the blade: less than 1 mm
Made in: Germany
[2] What type of hand plane (type, brand, size, …) would you recommend to make the bevel?
[3] Do I have to sand a little bit on the slanting surface after the wood cutting by using backsaw (together with mitre box or so) before joint assembling? Or use a hand plane instead?
Thank you very much.
Gostei muito da tela, nossa muito bem feita e forte. não sei fazer e vou mandar um cara fazer para que eu faça minhas pinturas, também não sei se ele sabe fazer, ele faz moveis tela eu não sei ainda se ele faz. mais gostei muitoooooooooooooo da sua tela parabéns
Excellent tutorial, artfusion1 - many thanks!!
thanks mate for the great instructions on making a large canvas. I just finished mine and it looked great!
Very clear.. thank you
Amazing, Thanks!!!
Asked by another, what size lumber is that?
Wouldl like to know if I can rip that from a 2-by or not.
Also, how long of sptaples do you use.
Great video.
Thanks
6mm or 1/4 inch I use is enough. Don't use a hand or electric stapler. Not enough controllable (spring energy).
@@alperkins1109 Still haven't supplied the timber size, but it looks 42x19mm?
excellent video
thank you for making this video easy to follow.
as soon as you offset your noggins i knew you were a pro
Informative video I learn lot from this video
Gracias
Thank you very much for sharing this step by step canvas building tutorial, it's very useful : )
Marvelous, Great ! I really appreciate the time you took to share these knowledges, I learned a lot!. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this great video, you are a good teacher!
Great lesson! This was better than how I was taught. I need to adjust my practices now. Thankyou!!!
Excellent Video, thanks.
Great tutorial 👌. Question : Which type of canvas you prefer ?
You forgot one thing. Measure from corner to corner both diagonals, and make sure they are of equal length.
I would have done that too, until he had timbers pulled into the corners with square ends.........that took care of that step. I more than likely still would have done a diagonal measure jsut for good measure :D.
Great video but as an art student I wasn't taught why to drill in rail within the inner rails. Can you explain why?
Thanks
Thank you for the awesome video! Really helped us mount some odd-shaped art by ourselves!
Thanks for the lesson!!!
Thanks for the
heads up. Great work
thanks for your time, a very useful video. I'm off to the DIY store now. Cheers
if you want you painting to be landscape would you put the extra wood the wide side
That’s awesome what size would do I need to purchase
Great video! Why the beveled edge?
Tip: Spend $60-80 and invest in a small air compressor and framing nail gun, preferably 18 gauge brad nailer, to make the joining process a breeze. I've been making canvases for years and it makes these processes a lot less work.
i appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into a frame like this, good job by the way. But would conventional precut stretcher bars and cross braces make it easier?
yeah they would make it much easier, but would be way more expensive. He is in Australia and the cost for the wood used, would have only been about $30 tops. Pre-made stretcher bars would be a lot more than that for that size.
So do you gesso the canvas before stretching it or gesso it after?
than217 great question I’m waiting to hear the answer with you
Hi, excellent video demo. I need to know what you suggest to have the canvas not run over the edge with the image. They are with a black border. I do not want the image to be cut off or wrap around but show the edge accurately. The quality of one company I am using is good but they still tell me the accuracy is very difficult. I wonder if I should send them a file with a ¼" black border to the size required so that when they add the black border the stretching will pull up to the actual edge of the images. Will
Bravissimo! qualche consiglio per una tela dalle dimensioni ancora più grandi?
