Nice job, very well done!!

[@designSHING]

Thank you!!

[@markhwebster]

Thanks for making this! Great idea on the metal brackets to connect the float to the stretcher bars. Any trouble with light shining through from behind?

[@designSHING]

I have not had any issues with light shining through from behind (which was a concern of mine), but I think that's probably some thanks to the canvas being hung on a wall that doesn't receive direct light.

[@us3990]

You can put a water based topcoat over an oil stain, especially with something like this that’s not getting any wear, it would be fine. You really don’t even need a topcoat, unless you’re wanting to change the sheen ie make it more glossy.

[@chungortho]

Great job. Loved how you're explaning in sweet and slow voice. What is the size of your art work?

[@designSHING]

Thank you! The tapestry is 60" x 51"

[@DCweldingAndArt]

Lol...the most adorable diy floater frame vid I've seen. Looked 👍 great! Only tried traditional frames so far, haven't tried floater frames YET. got supplies for a 16×20 waiting. Have a blessed day!

[@designSHING]

Thank you! A tip for your floater frame project - in hindsight, it would have been helpful to use a spacer (like mat board/cardboard/thin piece of wood - something of consistent thickness) to maintain the same spacing on all four sides.

[@markconnelly1806]

​@@designSHINGyes. Best to use spacers before posting video

[@TheThirdEdge]

Rawesome! I always love your video Build Logs! For pilot (lead) holes for screws: Published tables! Once you find a favorite, save it to your Reference/Hardware/Screws folder, for future. You'll see the tables have two columns: Soft woods & hard woods, essentially. Grab a table for lag screw lead holes, too (save). You'll find that useful when detailing architectural work of scale. Lead hole, shank hole. If you don't call it out, who knows what the dude in the field will do. Actually, I *do* know: He'll drive the lag screws in with a hammer. Tool tips: Obtain a couple of VIX bits (get the set of 3). Never look back. Vix bits are self-centering: Never mark centers for holes in hardware again. Far faster, more accurate, bit can't wander due to wood grain. Most commonly used when installing butt hinges for wood doors, where they're a godsend. Then, when doing multi-hole connectors: Set one screw first (snug is fine), then Vix the other holes (plate won't move), then drive the screws. When using a corner clamp, always use spacers the same thickness as the base of the clamp under the wild ends. Set up only a planar work surface. It's the only way to assure your work will be 'in plane.' BTW: Don't assume a table is planar: Been there, done that. :(

[@designSHING]

VIX bits! I'll have to get some - the center struggle has been real!!

[@dannistor7294]

adorable

[@designSHING]

Thank you!

[@CompleteHealthControl]

Really nice explanations of what you did and also what you learned along the way! Thankyou

[@designSHING]

Thank you, that means a lot!

[@Elmelati]

You did a great job. What type of miter saw you use? It looks small. And what type of wood you used here? Thanks a lot.

[@designSHING]

Thanks! It's a cordless Ryobi Miter Saw with a 7.25" blade. It's small enough to store in my closet, and since it's cordless, very easy to move around to where I need it. The wood is 1x pine, purchased from my local lumber store - it's a bit better quality than the lumber at Home Depot.

[@andanotherthing1253]

Amazing work! You are incredibly talented!

[@designSHING]

Thank you!!

[@jenniferscrivner8076]

I just love your painting. So talented! How did you get that text her that it looks like it was painted on fabric?

[@designSHING]

The tapestry is a print from Society6, and it looks surprisingly realistic. I think it's the visible brush strokes and metallic "paint" (print) that make it look like it was actually painted on the fabric.

[@AvaWendt]

How did you maintain the 1/8 in. gap around the canvas with this method? I appreciated the detailed explanations you went into about the prep work and wood conditioner which I had never heard about.

[@designSHING]

Thank you! There is actually a better way to maintain the 1/8" gap than what I did (which was just measuring as I went) - I'd recommend taking a few pieces of cardboard or material of 1/8" thickness and placing that between the wood frame and canvas to maintain consistent spacing all the way around while you secure the frame to the canvas. You can then wiggle the cardboard free, leaving you with a floating frame.

[@macoli6493]

You’re so cute 🥺

[@pawan120989]

You are beautiful

[@AD-wx1rt]

You just yourself $200 😅good job!

[@drennane1]

Top coat? I just use paint to stain, nothing else!??

Very hard to follow this vid with all of the editing. Cut and splicing and cutting and editing. Sorry.
