Making a Optical Illusion Poster Frame - Woodworking Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2022
- This Art Deco inspired frame is made from three types of wood: walnut, maple and cherry. It took roughly two full days to build and a lot of that was waiting for glue to dry on parts as I put them together.
The design is what I think of as unbalanced symmetry, where the top and bottom don't match each other, but are symmetrical on their own. The top has the geometrical illusion of depth, but the bottom presents a flatter view. The top is more elaborate while the bottom is simple. This works well with this particular poster and I designed the frame specifically for it.
It's a fairly large frame (around 40" x 30") and the corners on the bottom are reinforced with splines. A cleat was let in across the angled pieces that make up the top corners to reinforce those joints. The outer frame is a continuous band of cherry that also adds strength.
The finish is a coat of boiled linseed oil to start and then three sprayed on coats of water based polyurethane. Oil brings out the rich colour of the walnut and cherry, darkening them before the water based poly is sprayed on to build a protective layer.
It is hung on the wall with a single French cleat that fits into a recess routed in the back of the top of the frame using a dovetail router bit.
While this frame is unusually fancy for a poster, it doesn't have any glass. The poster itself is just taped to the back of the frame.

John, you are my spirit animal. When I grow up I want to be like you.
John, that was not just a video but an experience. Thanks man.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic project. And the audio reminded me how masterfully movies used to draw us into a story - instead of screaming at us in an attempt to keep our attention.
I'm absolutely obsessed with Alien, so I very much appreciate this build video.
Love the editing on this one. What a cool visual effect on the top of that frame!
Thanks :)
@@JohnHeisz john i put a ? up on ur comment so people can find this one out . is about matias and can u please encourage
Matias and u
One of my top 5 favorite movies. The poster deserves this unique and beautiful frame. 👍
That's not a frame, that's a piece of art! !! !!!
I liked that we could come along the journey by listening to the movie in the background. Without realizing I've been troubled by the boredom of plain poster frames, you put a nice exit sign off the road of the mundane onto the avenue of thinking outside of the box.
Really nice, John. I think the "unbalanced" symmetry works really well. Couldn't figure out the strip going across the angled pieces but then in dawned on me that was the BACK of the frame to provide some support. Well done as usual!
Perfect...Perfect....Lost for words John
Absolutely nailed it. Fantastic frame that let's this poster stand out like it should. Top notch John on the frame and video. 👏👌👍
Thanks again!
Great production quality on that video. I enjoyed watching the project unfold with just the woodworking sounds and movies audio clips. Well done on the project and the video.
Funny thing just happened. I've had the Nostromo's self destruct as my ring tone for years. When I heard it during the build I thought I was getting a call. Thanks John. LOL
Johns been watching too many 3rd world country youtube shorts. Definitely gets ya more comments. Keep living life on the edge john. Youre a legend in my book
A movie that good deserves a frame like that 👍
John the videography and craftsmanship are as excellent as the end result! Kudos it really draws one’s eye.
Perfect organism John. It’s structural perfection is matched only by your craftsmanship.
That’s a good looking piece just like everything you make.

Very nice John. When I was growing up in the 1960s there were still some of the old theatres around that still had very ornate frames to display the posters for coming attractions. Your's is very reminiscent of those; certainly captures the look.
That is an awesome 3D effect in the top corners. Great job!
Fantastic job John. Really beautiful.
Impeccable work as always, absolutely love the Alien films.
With the 3 dimensions top corners, it is beautiful
First class work...thanks for sharing.

I expected a guitar this week but like this one better. Nice design John!
Love that you're watching the first Alien movie... Figured it our when I heard Sigourney Weaver say "Ash"... confirmed as it went on of course... Now I just saw the poster you're framing... very cool...
B-e-a-utiful.
Very COOL
How nice. That's one of the posters I want to put up in my home cinema. Maybe I should just copy-paste your frame then!
John, this is handsome for sure. Can’t get my wife to watch Alien though, lol.
By the way, the screwdrivers are excellent and I’m glad I grabbed a set!
Nice
Creative.
Neat project. It came out really nice.
Thanks Jim :)
Så snyggt! 😁👍
And no copyright strike!? well shot and edited, John!
Not yet, but the night's still young :)
Wow!!!
Hey John, just my 2 cents here. I prefer the voiceover videos to the ‘silent’ ones. That said I might be in the minority, and I know it’s a business. As usual though, awesome job! I love your creativity. I’ll keep watching as long as you make’em, silent or not.
Awesome project. I wonder how many will figure out the commentary?
Fantastic, quality of workmanship is stunning as usual 👍
I see the 3D effect at the top of the frame but not at the bottom of the frame ... am I not comprehending it correctly or is it only meant to be 3D at the top? THEN HE READS THE DESCRIPTION .... DOH!!!!
why you always filming things so good coulda been a cinnamontographer
That was very relaxing to watch.
WOW!
wow
Hi, Thanks for a the video.
Since the vertical pieces are already strips, I wonder, if each successive strip was cut 1/16 th or so narrower as you went towards the inside of the frame, if it would add to the 3D effect?
Excellent work John. Your videos are a pleasure to watch. As for safety sally….. no one has to copy you, we all do things we are comfortable doing in the workshop that a safety man would say you shouldn’t. Keep it up.
