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! 😀

[@jazzsayin8435]

[@Tylerl128]

i heard every breath lmao

[@onsapplikasies8620]

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.

[@safaazwait9090]

Thank you for helping me to get help from woodworking professionals to find the size that suits me

[@hughdismuke4703]

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.

[@Leon7Professional]

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.

[@vincecapri1]

The best I've seen so far!!!

Thank you very much for the great video very well explained really appreciate it

[@viannarts]

[@yz9236]

thank you for your through explanation! Helps heaps!

[@andrewlee7033]

Thank you for taking the time out to share your knowledge with us!

[@runway12]

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 ....

[@monael-chami798]

thank you great work

[@KpxUrz5745]

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.

[@andre-michelgoulet6933]

Very clear tutorial thanks. But holy staples Batman! Also, great drinking game: drink every time you hear "tension".

[@runway12]

hahaha ... LOL

[@ldmtwo]

It's been over 10 years since I did this. Great refresher. Btw you forgot to talk about when you tightened the first screws.

[@raggy369]

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

[@binoshart8731]

Very clear.. thank you

Great tutorial 👌. Question : Which type of canvas you prefer ?

[@ELPatternMaking]

Thank you. Very well explained.

[@greensgoblin]

Great video, thanks ever so much

[@dollypartonfan5190]

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.

[@dayankkumarasinghe]

Amazing, Thanks!!!

[@aplixcs]

Marvelous, Great ! I really appreciate the time you took to share these knowledges, I learned a lot!. Thank you for sharing.

[@mvillacourt]

thanks mate for the great instructions on making a large canvas. I just finished mine and it looked great!

[@dogeeen]

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.

[@DaVillain06]

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.

[@1000GRAUZ]

Thanks alot Mrs.

[@captainamerica9719]

Omg good job very well explained

[@PeaceForAllPFA]

awesome tutorial, where do you get the canvas rolls from ?

[@matasjankauskas9428]

Beautiful work!

[@kurtikorgen]

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.

[@jasminemangual4016]

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!

[@unknownfilmmaker777]

Great video! Why the beveled edge?

[@thechetpicker]

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

[@drgamer77]

Awesome videos man! Ty

[@thesmiths7049]

Thank you. MASTER 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TubeScience]

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

[@alperkins1109]

6mm or 1/4 inch I use is enough. Don't use a hand or electric stapler. Not enough controllable (spring energy).

[@warrenharvey4420]

@@alperkins1109 Still haven't supplied the timber size, but it looks 42x19mm?

[@ukdiego]

thanks for your time, a very useful video. I'm off to the DIY store now. Cheers

[@Reconbox1001]

Excellent explained....

[@MK-qs6os]

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?

[@bijoybn]

Great Video. Nice job done :)

[@onepairofhands]

now that's a pair of work jeans, top marks

[@williammontgomery6478]

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

[@faatimagathoo5983]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I can definitely say that for a dummie in carpentry I learned something. Also I don't own a drill so could I use nails? And approximately what is the width and breadth of the timber pieces? And what size screws or well nails should I use? So sorry I really don't know any carpentry so I am starting from scratch with the learning Thanks!

[@artfusion1]

Faatima Gathoo Yes yo can use nails but a drill and screws are easier screws are 40mm long nails the same

[@faatimagathoo5983]

Thanks!

[@ninicantu6560]

[@soufainerajawi7709]

beautiful

[@soufainerajawi7709]

[@anerioone]

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.

[@The88lightangel]

Lovely, great - very informative, very clear instructions.

[@getcanvasUK]

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?

[@dasinc]

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.

[@kbdefay]

[@monicapena4623]

That’s awesome what size would do I need to purchase
