How to Make a FLOATER FRAME

[@brucehancock8012]

Easy the best video of building a professional-appearing floater frame that I've ever seen.

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Thank you Bruce!

You have much more patience than me. I do like the biscuit cutter trick. I’m going to try it. Thanks.

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

It’s not all that hard if you take it step by step. Give it a shot 👍

thank you!

[@murderballad1154]

great video thanks

[@1977ajax]

Nicely done. Looking for a different way to fix the painting into the frame - never liked those screws going into the stretcher. Have you seen any other good methods?

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Hmmm I don’t know. What are your concerns?

Hi where i can Buy the gold aplication?

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Sorry don’t remember

[@farooq2000]

Great video! Were the rabbets pre-milled on the walnut or did you do it yourself?

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Thanks, Farooq! I bought these moldings from a planing mill, so the rabbets are there (and the mill provides the basswood backer strips to fit). I have in a pinch made my own from hardwood lumber, but of course that’s extra steps: table saw, surface planer, router table. ..a bit of a bother, but not too complicated. The mill is Foster Planing Mill in Los Angeles, if that helps. Nice people.

[@winstonsmith3690]

Could this be done without the nail gun?

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Yes. Without a nail gun I would hold each joint in a clamp, pre-drill holes for small nails and tap them in gently…them ideally leave the joint clamped until the glue cures

[@SuperRickflick]

Where did the rabbits come from? Already there?

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Yes, the walnut moulding came from the Foster Planing Mill in Los Angeles with the rabbet cut. They also sell the backing strips. It possible to make these rabbets in lumber with an electric router, of course, or with hand tools as I show here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5yUl3asbs-Gqc0

[@gregpalmer3831]

Didn't show the final product. Why?

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Oh...it wasn’t my painting, it was my wife’s, and she was rushing off with it. Anyway, the video is about framing, right?

[@HarrysHappenings]

so many amateur artists do not own a power saw so like many other videos on this subject, it is not relevant.

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Okay. I guess the next question would be, how hard would to be to make these cuts with a handsaw?

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

As a matter of fact, I have bought an expensive saw / miter box combo to see what is possible - if I get around to making a video of this
