Awesome video! My wife and I were empowered to make our own frame based on this tutorial :) Thank you so much!

[@debrajol3585]

Oh my goodness..I cannot Thank You enough!!!! There’s no way I can afford to buy larger sized canvases so this is going to open a big door for me to be able to dream about bigger pieces of art. Many Thanks 🙏🏽

[@runway12]

Did you make a large frame ? How did it turn out ?

[@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.

[@chriswardley518]

Thanks for taking the time to make such a clear and concise presentation, I can't wait to give this a go.

[@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.

[@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.

Un travail remarquable et des gestes précis . Le résultat est tout simplement parfait. Merci pour cette générosité

[@tlojewelrylove]

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! 😀

[@WelshRabbit]

Nice video. Excellent camera and editing -- and very clear voice-over commentary. Definitely a thumbs up.

[@Tylerl128]

i heard every breath lmao

[@vincecapri1]

The best I've seen so far!!!

[@safaazwait9090]

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

[@ManuelIzquierdoBrown]

Thanks Glenn. Today I made my first canvas. Thanks for having shared your super clear explanation. If you believe in Karma I hope somehow it comes back to you!

[@jazzsayin8435]

This answered all the questions. Thanks.

[@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.

[@todopoderoso5490]

Super cool now i can actually fit all the puzzles together... I love this video

[@unknownfilmmaker777]

Great video! Why the beveled edge?

[@andrewlee7033]

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

[@hallmanager4911]

Great tutorial - very professional - thanks

[@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.

[@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 ....

[@juliewhitehead4432]

Fantastic tutorial ---- the BEST i have seen on making large stretched canvases Thank you.

[@LarrysLeatherWork]

What a great tutorial and a lot of work was put into this. Thank you for sharing.

[@mikeoates7]

Thanks for the video. What kind of canvas do you use?

[@PeaceForAllPFA]

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

[@MarkNiceyard]

Very good and comprehensive how to.

[@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

[@livingmultiverse5544]

mean glenn, off to do my scholarship block course in this area tomorrow and sunday, love your tutorials you simplify everything with out all the tech lingo and explain things so even miss dyslexic here understands with my inside out brain wiring haha, cheers lovingb yoyur downloads too thanks for your efforts and sharing your talents

[@mikeherstik838]

Excellent instructional video.It is very gracious of you to share your skills and knowledge. Such instructional videos help enable people all the world in their endeavors. Thank you.

[@kennalan1130]

Excellent video. You taught me stretcher construction theory and canvas-stretching techniques that I didn't know. Cool!

[@1000GRAUZ]

Excelente. Nakupenda

[@lioneldupas]

I don't understand every things you explain - i'm french - but your tutorial is clear and excellent.Thanks for sharing.

[@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.

[@sasalelem755]

j'adore, merci

[@fredriklundblad4788]

Thank you very much.

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Awesome thanks ☺️

[@mvillacourt]

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

[@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!

[@yz9236]

thank you for your through explanation! Helps heaps!

[@lugandnut]

Excellent tutorial, artfusion1 - many thanks!!

[@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.

[@binoshart8731]

Very clear.. thank you

[@theresasmith1]

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

[@andre-michelgoulet6933]

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

[@runway12]

hahaha ... LOL

[@TRIBESBB]

Thanks for the heads up. Great work

[@cooolboi]

Just right as what i need . Going to make one

[@bigblackguarddog]

Thank you for this video! The time you have invested is much appreciated, Making a frame for my canvas does not seem as daunting now. Very clear video and great audio, I had no trouble viewing or learning. Thanks again

[@Darklordtube]

Excellent Video, thanks.

[@MeeuwsenWorld]

Magic video

[@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?

[@JoseRodriguez-nx5nx]

Thanks for the lesson!!!

[@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.

[@aboriginal.man.1492]

Thank you!

[@1000GRAUZ]

Thanks alot Mrs.

[@ukdiego]

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

Amazing, Thanks!!!

[@SuperJaneas]

Thank you for this great video, you are a good teacher!

[@aidy202]

Very good tutorial and helpful!

[@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.

[@gattociccio2584]

Bravissimo! qualche consiglio per una tela dalle dimensioni ancora più grandi?

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

[@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]

Excellent explained....

[@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

[@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.

[@teakey]

THat corner fold could actually be internal

[@than217]

So do you gesso the canvas before stretching it or gesso it after?

[@KristalCherelle]

than217 great question I’m waiting to hear the answer with you

[@drgamer77]

Awesome videos man! Ty

Great video but as an art student I wasn't taught why to drill in rail within the inner rails. Can you explain why?

[@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
