@Fixthisbuildthat This was exactly the video I needed. Thank you.

[@evanshannon]

As someone who used to work for a high end custom framing business-use a stop block on the miter saw and cut each leg separately. Don’t stack pieces and try to cut them both at the same time. If you do, you risk screwing up two pieces instead of one. Also, cut your long pieces first-if you mess up, you can chop it down to be a short leg and save materials.

walt walt get good at making crappy ones

[@storedaway]

Great advise

[@FantsyPants]

Great tips, thank you

[@ritawashere5787]

Hi Evan, I hope you're willing to help me. I plan on making a simple window frame. It will hold a pane of glass but it's strictly decorative. What type of wood do you suggest I use? Also, I've only got a miter box and saw to use.

[@ritawashere5787]

Another question. If I use glazier points to hold the window into the frame what should I use for extra security? Because I don't have a router in order to make a Channel for the window to sit in two.

[@commonground8412]

*Ron Swanson voice* Our teenager asked me one day before the wife's birthday if we could "just go out and buy" a 36 x 12 inch frame. I watched this video instead and made the thing myself from scrap pine. I am semi-competent amateur woodworker but I had never made a frame before. It worked. This man and his video have my approval.

[@jonhowell5014]

Ron Swanson says "Very well done. You are ready for the final level: Locate and cut down a suitable tree. Mill boards. Cure them for the correct time. Finish to perfection by hand using a hand plane. Once this is done, you may proceed."

[@standup4982]

very clear instruction without any delay of getting to the point of the process thank you for that

[@jargobordine7254]

So glad to see you pay tribute to TOH with a picture of norm. After paying 350$ to frame a picture, I’m happy to have watched this video. I have all these tools and now the confidence to use them. Thanks!

[@dianakesl1814]

I learned a lot watching your video. My wife's dad was a locally famous artist and collector of fine art. He was the professor at University of Florida for 20 years and Sante Fe JUCO for another 20 before he passed away. My wife inherited part of his 1.3 million $ art collection so we sell fine art and have dozens of paintings that need to be framed. I'm hoping to learn how to frame some so we don't have to pay someone else to do it all the time. I like the fact you showed your mistakes and went back and corrected them. For that reason and the fact I learned so much as a beginner I subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much. ( Rusty)

[@scatterbrainart]

My man, thank you THANK YOU. This is the best process I've learned to get perfectly-sized art frames. That trick with the miter fence: *chef's kiss*

[@amberwarlock7386]

That was literally the best instructional video with the meatiest content in the shortest time that I have ever watched. Thank you for being concise, precise and normal! Going to get my husband on this project for my irregular-sized artwork.

[@janethomyer6253]

I am a total novice at woodwork but enjoy what I do get to do (mostly cutting wood for small building projects). Christmas is coming, and I want to uniformly frame all of my husband's Navy certificates, awards, and pictures so they'll look sharp on his office wall, but frames are Pricey!!! So, I thought I'd see how hard it would be to make a frame and I found your video. The video is so well done - it's clear and easy to follow, and your easy manner instills confidence, whether I should be confident or not! LOL Well, I'm going to give this a try!! I will need to buy a router, but that's something I've wanted to do anyway. I'm nervous about trying this but also excited. And I think he will love having frames that I made for him, as well

[@CHRISTRINH4490]

Great video! Thanks for showing the three different methods. Not everyone can afford a table saw or router table so it was nice seeing you do it various ways!

[@jonhowell5014]

THANK YOU! I watched other videos where woodworkers assumed we all had 25,000 worth of tools. Impressive but NOT helpful. I really appreciate your guidance for doing this on a limited budget. 🙂👍 That said, I'm jealous of your router table. So many things I could do with that...

[@Tomes23]

I love Norm Abrams. He's been a hero of mine since the 80s. A true master carpenter.

[@DavidWilliams-gm6xx]

All respect to Norm! But I think I've got more hands-on knowledge from this great channel. There's room for everyone, what a great medium for learning KZbin really is.

[@andrewk-majordochomerepair6014]

Any 'ode to Norm' gets a thumbs up as a great facilitator and teacher of woodwork craftsmanship.

[@lindseycombs4847]

That tape in the corner thing just blew my mind! That's why I was looking for a video..I'm not too corner -savvy ❤ thanks for sharing!

[@bergmansherve]

The trick with the tape in the corners was neat, never seen before. Thanks for that

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Nice touch at the end with Norm.

[@sundriedtime]

I absolutely love how forward you are are about your mistakes. Your humility and skill go a long way in helping out the woodworking community :)

[@Vichardhara303]

Third one is very nice... Beautiful make !

[@ron5935]

Best glue up for end grain is to thin coat the end and allow to dry 5/10 minutes. Then apply finish glue and assemble. I did this for plain T joint 3/4" square oak. On the test , the oak bent before the glue failed. Great video.

[@Mcfryguy5555]

Great way to get Norm in one of your videos! I think he would be proud of your work.

[@melissaks798]

Okay, that table router is 👍‼ Want want want!! It added such beautiful character to the third frame.

[@rksmith5273]

What a fantastic presentation of building different frames with different equipment.

[@jimtrebes7926]

Excellant Video. You went from simple to a little more complex and for a senior + guy like me it really helped. Thank you.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

You're welcome!

[@hanaparkhill3565]

Wow ..I learned like ten new things from this video. Thank you!!!

[@markharris5771]

Incredibly well explained and demonstrated, thank you.

[@joonyaboy]

Appreciate you showing the unplugging of the router during bit change

[@mattworrell1651]

Norm is the King! Cool video 👍

[@danielzana818]

I really enjoy seeing the mistakes and learning/teaching moments!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks!

[@andreamto]

congratulations on your impeccable work

[@leesmith9467]

Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU! I have watched dozens of DIY picture frame videos trying to figure out how to create that rabbet so is properly sized to accept the picture and backing. Most either never mentioned it, or treated it as no big deal. Well I wasted a lot of good wood and therefor a lot of $$ chasing after that rabbet. You FINALLY took the time to explain its importance and how to get it right -- and it's easy! You've earned my eternal gratitude and a new subscriber :-)

[@jj6457]

Awesome video, just kind of wish you showed what you did you keep the pictures from falling out of the frame.

[@nashvillewebnet]

That is a dope router table, super jelly

[@rallbot6090]

I bought a piece of art from a very obscure and not online guy and then realised I have no frame so figured as its been years since my last ever bit of woodwork I'd have a go again. The details covered are very informative thank you! I want to see if theres any invisible joins I can make or something interesting if you have any further ideas shoot them at me bro Lovely stuff, cheers

[@gemmalocatelli5916]

Best video I've found so far 🙌

[@eugeniogarcia2360]

Gracias por su instrucción, me gusta, saludos desde Nicaragua.

[@markandrews7116]

when I view video's, I prefer to "binge" on them. Having the next video cued up is just the greatest idea yet. It also goes without saying that I also enjoy a lack of a time wasting minutes long intro on each video - I know what I'm watching and why so I think it's great you get right down to it. I appreciate the smarts you offer. I'm not in this league but I think it's great to learn about the techniques you show. Thanks muchly - and yes, I'm subscribed

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks for the sub and the feedback, Mark!

[@patrickdunn8918]

Nice! I’ve been on a tear making frames in the last few weeks for some artist (oil paintings and water colors). One of them is famous, the other, is her apprentice.

[@ecaff9515]

Excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing.

[@mrmitchellstever]

Thank alot for showing me how to make picture frames. Great trick and ideas I learned.

[@mycreations2636]

I’m a beginner and am so happy I found you. You have so many tools I would love to have once I learn them. Lol 😆

[@juliaolaechea8839]

Lo que buscaba, millon de gracias y felicitaciones¡

[@Anibalsadano2010]

Excelente, muy buen trabajo! saludos desde Argentina.

[@farmerjuhl]

I love the surprise tribute to Norm at the end! 🙂 I remember when I used to get a new power tool, my wife used to ask, "Now, is that JLN?" (Just Like Norm)

[@pteddie6965]

Nice frames and excellent directions/explanations. Thanks

[@patrickdunn8918]

I’ve made that rabbit mistake too…thanks for making me feel better 😃.

[@sundeshbalraj]

Just what I needed 👏🏼

[@ladykenja2700]

- Thanx 4 sharing. Very good info as usual.

[@azplease4121]

"whether you have access to a few tools or more advanced.." Do you have a video on how to frame with only a few basic tools? i.e. miter box and a basic saw?

[@Balasubramanian-ch4vx]

Nice vedio, Good Explanation and Good Quality with safety work...from India.

[@JVDV11]

Oooh love the lazy susan for spraying

[@BlisterBang]

Great information and lots of useful tips. The only problem I have with this video is that it it progresses too quickly. It's a pain to search back and forth looking for a segment that only lasted a couple seconds.

[@naseebkumar6430]

You gived me a good information . Thanks

[@johnonorgan]

that dust is great for mixing with epoxy to make strong joints

[@AceWinfieldLoyola]

Thanks for the tips but I don’t have miter saw to make a perfect 45 degress angle cut. I’m getting hardtime in cutting a perfect angle.

[@zoraidavalencia2959]

Loved you video, very professional and good explanation. Thank you for sharing

[@Apollo_Blaze]

Great video!...to me the Jacobean color has green tones to it.....I like the true browns best.

[@Heurigijdbd]

Flat corner braces work perfect for reinforcing large frames.

[@YESSLEEP42]

Great Video!!

[@aitumatagata16]

Thanks for sharing this! I can’t wait to make my own frames.

[@johnnichols8553]

I set up a sacrificial fence on my miter saw using 1/2" MDF, and cut the frame pieces. However, my mitered corners are coming out less than 90deg. My 45 deg cuts are actually like 44.7 degs or so. I suspect it's the sacrificial fence throwing things off. I'm going to take it off, and see if the saw is cutting perfect 45s without it.

[@williamsmith9026]

I have been being asked to make frames for 3 years by somebody. He says today... I want YOU to make them I will pay you top dollar.. I am going to put aside the time and make some frames. Good video with no SHTICK. I know the peters video already. but, decided to scope around for others. I am gonna do something like the third one. I may dabble with my domino on those corners to see how it goes with small parts. Subbed!

[@mitchelle05]

Do you have non-pro version?

[@pingagrande4424]

In need of the 3 type measurements you mentioned for the pictures frame thanks , Negron Bronx , NY -Monday April 19/2021.

[@terrycooneu1586]

Well done! 😊

[@nuttheenatheeakkarapat2017]

Thank you

[@matthewrusso1350]

NORM!!! Great video Brad, and the fact that it ended in a framed photo of Norm just made it that much better!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Norm makes everything better!

[@markanthony559]

Awesome thanks for the tutorial 👍

[@39FORTYWATER]

Good stuff. I making my project harder and longer to complete. I wanted to have flat wood sheet at angles. But just not gonna be possible. Just a long one on the front and left and right sides behind it attached to another thicker wood behind. Plus I am not rich yet to have a shop (basement)😄& the wonderful toys huh 🧐 Tools you have. Thank you. When I want to use the technique.

[@zeusem6158]

I needed to watch this as I'm starting a photo n art framing business. Thanks alot Can you also please upload a double framing tutorial video

[@carlflemmig4962]

Hi Brad, I'm Carl a 79 year old novice wood worker. I want to make some picture frames. I have two questions for you. 1, how long did you cut the boards to begin with? I don't know how to figure out the length of the miter cuts. There's 2 different lengths the 8 inch top pieces and the 10 inch side pieces. And you said I can get 2 frames from an 8 foot board. Second question is about those triangle things you set the picture frames on to put the finish on frames? It looks like it's a simple project, but I'd like to hear how you did it anyway. Thanks Carl an old guy trying to learn.

[@thermonuclearwarfare]

i like building stuff and restoring stuff too

[@akesq01]

Best frame build video I have seen yet for the beginner to intermediate woodworker like me. Thank you!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

You're welcome!

[@peacesenator6457]

Thank you so much for this great video!. It served my purpose🥰

[@brentond7017]

Ya last one was the best great learn as u go video, thanks

[@rsmolkin]

Jeesh, even with all that amazing equipment it's still a lot of work. I just need some cheap basic frames but in uncommon sizes.

[@evarogers8775]

I am thrilled by every jig I see on your videos. How many different jigs do you have floating around your workshop?

[@MikeBARNUEVO]

Wow I didn’t see that Norm Abram segment coming 😱👍😎♥️. Very cool!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Hahaha, pretty cool, huh!?

[@superfoneguy7889]

Why does adding the fence make the cuts more accurate? You're still using the same saw and surface in reference to the saw but have added a potentially uneven plywood surface to cut on. Great video.

[@carinasoria8445]

Thanks for the information

[@aaudain1]

Wonderful 👏

[@rochperron3018]

good video will give it a try since I have lots of small pieces of wood

[@josediaz-gonzalez227]

Maybe a bit late but once the frames are glued/assembled, how did you fit the glass into the frames?

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

I'm WAY behind, I know. This video was absolutely AWESOME!! Some great tips that work for picture frames and other projects too.

[@hildagraham5846]

Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: *WoodPlan. info*

[@shanecarpenter555]

hey there, I'm looking to get into woodworking and was hoping you could help me out with a table saw recommendation please :)

[@ivanzupa8493]

Great help mate. 👍

[@kimmiemyers7791]

Hello, I really appreciate your work

[@MrMichaelcurran]

Thanks for the fence jig in this application. It seemed simple but aids in accuracy. Your a good help for us amateurs.

[@ZoliMusic]

Really love that mitre jig. Well done, sir!

[@LaughingGenius]

What kind of tape did you use when gluing the first frame? Love the range of difficulties shown.

[@rewaters49]

Thank you for captioning your video. For reasons I don't need to go into here, I can't use sound on my computer. The captioning lets me "listen", even with no sound. Thank you.

[@tracysmith3343]

Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME!! Thank you so much for showing three different ways to build a frame! Excellent tutorial.

[@INHELL4]

This tips videos are great.

[@BronkBuilt]

Great tips Brad. I tried those hammer in metal miter brackets and had the same outcome as you. Couple went in perfect and a couple, well... didn't go in perfect.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

They were really trying my patience! 😂😂

[@syedmuzzaman3076]

Keep up the good work

[@garybryant2995]

Great tips.

[@dbnoho]

Whenever I can I use my palm router outside. If possible I set the project on some cheap saw horses and do everything where the dusts lands on the ground and I go back in the garage like a champ.

[@andreamto]

great job

[@BrayanMartinez-pv7qj]

Excelente video, me gusto y me ayudo a mejorar mas en la carpintería aparte de lo que ya sabia, tengo 15 años y vivo en México, saludos!!

[@frankrodriguez6424]

I am surprised u don’t use air compressor and 1/4” staples better than those wavy things. I can imagine nailing those and them bending. Awesome video. I use table saw and jig for miners. My chop saw is a cheap Chicago from Harbor

[@kashfortheking]

Helpful 😃
