Great job Vic, bloody top photo! I did a frame for my home town photo…the last tack I put in cracked the glass…to say I wasn’t impressed was beyond belief….but it was only a small crack…so it stayed 😂😂😂👏👏

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Not good about the glass mate, added to the charm as they say😂. Thanks very much David

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much mate. I'll be reminded of that weekend every time i'm in the shop

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

Great video and great frame. I always enjoy seeing old wood reclaimed and reused. Nice photo that reminds all woodworkers there's a big community out there.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Ben. Its a great maker community that i'm very glad to be a part of

[@woodfather]

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Agree mate and thats a room full of real talent too.

[@kustomcreations3541]

Mate, great work. That's such an awesome photo of a great group of makers and what a fantastic build to commemorate such an amazing time 😊😊😊

Superb! Thanks for posting.

Thank you very much Samuel

Real nice looking wood on that frame especially after you put on that finish! I love how you use recycled materials in your projects. Great video as always, thanks for sharing. Shalom from Mesa, Arizona USA!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thank you very much Tom. I always look in my wood pile for timber before going to the store

[@catey62]

I worked for a picture framers back in the 80's, and a little tip is to glue on a piece of brown paper on the back of the frame to seal it against dust etc. first, take a sheet of brown paper, cut it to size and glue it down, stretching it out as much as you can. then when the glue is dry, spray it with a little water to dampen it or wipe it with a wet cloth. as it dries, it will tighten up to give a professional looking finish. great work there, love the timber you used.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thank you very much Catey. I've seen the old paper backing on a few frames now. Thanks for the tip and info, as this one is in my workshop i may have to do that.

[@catey62]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks Your'e welcome 🙂

[@dassh22]

Hi Victor , what a great idea you keep me in suspense right up to the unavailing , nice frame too, well made glad to see you using box straps great work keep it up

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks mate. Yes that was the intention and it seems to have worked looking at the video stats

[@FixitFingers]

That's just rubbing it in I couldn't visit that day :P

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Sorry mate but my photoshop skills are only elementary

[@FixitFingers]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks ha! Gutted it was my own birthday 🤣

[@TigerDusty]

Another great video Vic, might need to get one for my garage. 👌Salami are almost ready, should be done by the end of next week. Cheers Rob

[@sumosprojects]

Don’t forget us Rob 🙏

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks mate, you should. Can you send salami through the mail?

[@brettclark1564]

Love it and love your work

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thank you so much Brett

[@SmallFryCreations]

Such a great soothing video! Great photo to 😀

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks Ainslee, it was a great weekend

[@kalelisking]

Love your work mate. One tip...don't push so hard when cutting glass. It's only a fine score as opposed to tiles. I use the same pressure for 2mm - 12mm float/lam. Keep up the great vids. Cheers

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Darren and thanks for the tip. i will definitely try using a lighter touch next time

[@BuiltByChris]

Mate, I love it!!! The memories I have after meeting the Sydney makers will stay with me till the end. You've inspired me to make a frame and hang that picture as well. Cheers mate. ❤👍

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks mate. I'll relive that weekend every time i'm in the shop now

[@Nedswoodworks]

Chris, I thought you would have the photo of you and Ainsley up already…😂😂😂

[@BuiltByChris]

Good

Thank you Chakir

Can’t believe this teaches an accurate way to bring zhe gorners

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I think, but I might be mistaken, that the photo should not be resting on the glass. Before I do that, I will check with someone to frames for the better photographers.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Yes you're right, the photo can stick to the glass over time and can be damaged if removed. I have no intention of removing the photo but if i did, photos are relatively cheap to print so i'd just get another.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks In this case you're right. If you bought an unframed photograph from Christian Fletcher, it would matter a lot more. You don't know how valuable a photograph your audience would want to frame. Even yours could be valuable in time, as a historical record. The State LIbrary of western Australia is sharing lots of photos of historical interest from over a century ago.

How do charge to build me wood lowrider bike frame ? I got the design

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

If you have the design you should build your own

[@BenHollist]

Mate Wished I could have been down there to be part of that Pic :( Next time hey :)

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

You’re welcome anytime mate 👍🏻
