Floating frame in 3 simple steps - No complicated joinery - Cheap & Easy - 1-hour Build

[@oakworthy]

I've watched lots of videos on how to make a floating frame. By far is this the best one. Thanks so much!

[@CornerfieldShop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Majerly_Annoyed]

Just finished my first floating frame thanks to you. It took me a looooong time as I measured 4 times, thought about each angle and cut, measured a couple times more...then did the cuts. In the end it turned out quite well!!! And I've determined I need a new mitre saw. :D

[@CornerfieldShop]

Glad I could help! Perhaps worth checking out some tuning videos for your saw. I know that can make a world of difference.

[@Majerly_Annoyed]

@@CornerfieldShop Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......! I'm using this as my excuse to buy a new saw! :D

Very interesting approach to floating frames, you basically mounted a picture backwards in a frame. Thanks for sharing👍

[@CornerfieldShop]

Hi, which is the best wood for this? Also best blade for perfect cuts? Would a evolution rage 5s table saw do the job ?

[@conkiendien]

thank you beauty work , what side stub ? thaks

[@lindabambrough3128]

awesome thanks very much

[@CornerfieldShop]

Thanks! You're welcome ✌

[@MisforMax]

The screws aren't holding the frame together. They look like they go past the 45degree cut. So the dowels are doing the joining.

[@CornerfieldShop]

Possibly. But they are still together so either way; it works just fine 😉

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Another option for strengthening the corners is A) use wood glue B) cut a small groove to the backside of the corners, and attaching a triangular piece in back of the frame. It will not show on the faces, and holds extremely well. You also can make the cut with the frame sitting flat on the table saw. C) Don't use 45's at all, and use a half-lap joint, which is much stronger a bond, as it relies on two faces of the wood being glues to one another. (If you are going to see dowel pin covers over screw hole, then the joinery won't make much difference :P)

[@CornerfieldShop]

I did use wood glue but your other options are good suggestions for sure! Thanks for the comment 👍

[@jack91522]

What type of wood are you using? Is it a 2x4?

[@CornerfieldShop]

Yes, it is construction lumber.

[@stanyadean4358]

very niiiice!!

[@CornerfieldShop]

Thank you 😊

[@gautambarua8260]

Which side is front face?

[@CornerfieldShop]

The narrow side

[@debbiegarland7124]

I wouldn’t say that was 3 simple steps but nice outcome

[@shimayousefi]

Kan ik ook bij je bestellen als ik de maten door geef

[@CornerfieldShop]

Nee sorry, ik maak de lijsten niet op bestelling. Je kunt wel terecht bij verschillende kunstmateriaal winkels zoals 'van Beek Art'.

[@wandakowalski7063]

Not so obvious how to attach the canvas so that it sits with the gap! It would have been nice to see that part!

[@CornerfieldShop]

Yeah; sorry about that. I pre-drilled some holes and just used screws going into the back of the painting. Off course being careful to use the correct length screws.
