The amount of work and care you put in making these frames is humbling 😮

[@GetHandsDirty]

I really appreciate it Alex! Merci

[@neilmunro5360]

0:06 seeing someone's worthy poster getting showcased in a shiny new frame! 👌

[@ThreeLetterChop]

It gives me the warm-fuzzies to see artists appreciate each other's work. As soon as I saw the croissant poster I was scrolling down to see if you'd seen it.

[@phillipausten3172]

Awesome work

[@realpdm]

It may be one of my favorite things on youtube when you say "Boom!" . Thank you for the video!

[@agentstarling9998]

BOOOOOOOM.... Me too 👏☺️

[@DaleDix]

Its annoying when she doesn't say it

[@23diets]

The coolest 'booom' on youtube 😎

[@jbb5470]

Wow! Your attention to detail is amazing !! Love the prints your chose and the frames turned out Fantastic !

[@MonicaLNJ]

Stunning frames! Any professional framer would be envious of your work. Thank you for including the artists; I'm eager to check out more of their work!

[@twozero3five369]

It's so calming watching woodwork, amazing studio space too.

[@sygad1]

WOW, they look amazing, it must be a joy to look at these every day, even more so knowing you created them. Thanks for sharing

[@PeaceDroneAerialVideo]

Beautiful work, I get so chilled watching your projects.

[@JoshuaRes]

I love the attention to detail. Beautiful execution.

[@AdrianBilladeau]

These turned out absolutly beautiful. I am totally inspired to print out some of my photos and make my own frames to hang around the shop and house. Thank you for this video!

[@RocketChild]

The artworks were cool to begin with, but with these frames, they look so sophisticated. Such a wonderful job Cristina!

[@Sheytopia]

Psst... it's Cristiana ;)

[@helenablignaut662]

You remain an awesome artist! So pristine and perfect. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you.

[@youtukang]

Hello friend

[@MURPHxiii]

This was absolutely flawless. The editing, the filming, the wood working, the assembling. I’m… blown away.

[@blackculturepodcast]

I'm truly amazed with the outcome and the degree of precision. You are amazing

[@rafael.espiritu]

I wish I had your skills! The craftsmanship is just superb and the way you film the whole process is just so satisfying.

[@BustlingGravy]

These frames are so crisp, it’s very satisfying watching you finesse all the details. Especially while I am still struggling with making frames 😄

[@StamosTee]

Awesome !!! The artwork collection is super cool and the frames really make them stand out! Beautifully done ✅

[@shimueljones5777]

Your attention to detail is what sets you aside form others! Keep that up!

[@chicogonzalez01]

you are a real master, im amazed by how delicate and smart the process is!

[@kimballdenetso]

Such a great video! However I have to admit the sled cut with a fence at 1:24 makes me very nervous about kickback! But over all a very beautiful video. Keep up the good work

[@patsycline4019]

That's such a dangerous way to cut!

[@LDBecker]

I had the same thought. If the fence had been any closer, someone would be eating a piece of wood. I reflexively ducked when I saw that!

[@matthiasbolte4580]

Your attention to detail is superb.

[@jimadams6159]

Very simple and elegant design. They look so stylish.

[@matthewulrich]

Very thorough and well executed. Nice work!

[@skully7763]

Stunningly beautiful work!

[@josephwanyoike3566]

So Brilliant and inspiring. It was therapeutic seen the magnificent masterpiece come together.👍🏽

[@sailslikeagirl3154]

Stunning work, love your shop.

[@justinbarnett1126]

I love how these frames turned out!! You gave me some great tips!! Cheers

[@ProfAWSantiago]

Beautifully presented!

[@FrankC76]

Since I happen to have the same rockler sled, I tried your method of cutting the miters and it worked out well. That sled is very easy to true up against the blade with a plastic engineer’s square. The result was perfect, crisp joints. I don’t think I’ll need to build a dedicated picture frame sled after all.

[@nathalie5064]

what a beautiful work! and love the art work. Thanks for sharing them.

[@oxonian4518]

Simply astonishing work. Congrats and tks for sharing!

[@shirazigs]

WOW! I enjoyed watching your video making beautiful picture frames! Thank you! 😍

[@Urbanmoon]

Beautiful job. They all look great. Envious of your setup!

[@thegentlemanmaker]

Very nice. That was a great video and has pushed me into making a spline jig at last! Thank you.

[@HenryAlvarez]

Super jealous of your workshop! Beautiful work!

[@robira1313]

Your videos and editing are always top-notch!

[@orangeblue4133]

Such a great wood work, so I love it.

Amazing work, very professional! Congrats!

[@JonyAlonso]

Kickback alert on 1:20!

[@pedrohc99]

Amazing work! I'm really happy I was able to find such a good content! Thank you for sharing! Eu não estava esperando o "até já" no final do vídeo. 😲

[@manythingslefttobuild]

The ruler seams to be the perfect size for the cross cut sled, surprising it wasn't part of the kit. The frames look awesome!

[@ellieboa]

beautiful and satisfying project and video!

[@florianbecke3076]

Fantastic and inspiring work!

[@kyawnyisoe4392]

Amazing works! Love it.

[@DirkieB]

Wow I really like that little sled for the splines!

[@veronica5896]

Looks Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@abigailvillanueva6029]

Your work is exceptional, perfect, and beautiful. I love it.

[@joelm1246]

This was so satisfying to watch. The frames looked great but my fave are the stained finishes.

[@dragoncubes1074]

That walnut (?) was very beautiful. I love figured wood.

[@nicolas-patiencebasabose7995]

This was so satisfying to watch. Thank you.

[@147CinzaRato]

[@srinivasdara6340]

Beautiful work

[@jimrosson6702]

Wow they turned out great amazing work

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

For something that looks so deceptively simple the amount of work and precision needed is eye opening. I'll never look at a picture frame the same way ever again

[@nanoblasting]

Amazing work and inspiring

[@johnschuman6082]

Wow! Awesome Job! Inspiring!

[@karlvestklev]

Amazing work as always! ❤️

[@danielfrancoise8881]

WOW, THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO, I LOVE HANDMAIDEN THINGS🤗♥️

[@MRrwmac]

Excellent tutorial for the rest of us!

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Beautiful! Thumbs up and thanks for posting.

[@uhaising6175]

That's amazing frame work ❤

[@jbratt]

My frames I have made for years are almost identical, splines and all. I don’t do the rabbets quite as deep but I may try that next time I mill up some stock. The look is awesome without being distracting from the subject of the frame. A trick I have found on the splines is if they fit a bit tight is to hammer the spline like you are trying to flatten them. Flatten just enough where they slide easily into the slot. When you put the glue on the spline stock it will swell back up so install it without delay. I do this because the spline material is not always perfectly consistent in thickness even when I’m careful. You did a great job on the video. Thanks👍

[@sar4va]

Adorei o "até já"!! Acho seu trabalho muito inspirador!! Uma hora dessas a gente vai se encontrar!

[@MoniqueAO888]

Your videos are really great !!! Happy New Year 🙂

[@brianmarkerink2432]

It's all about having the right tools.. Looks nice

[@asztapaszta9]

Fantastic video, will save it for reference!

[@jasonkingshott2971]

Enjoyed witnessing the professionalism.

[@KSCPMark6742]

Sigh, I'm so envious of that coloured MDF you have available.... nice work as always.

[@lundimatanzima3560]

Amazing work!!

[@MattiaRaggiDrum]

Greetings from Italy!!!❤🇮🇹 Very good job

[@kari53]

You gave me some good ideas for my frames. I have a bunch of marine art work to go up in my office. I am reclaiming wood from an old piano to build the frames with.

[@gastonalejandromarchese8512]

Hermoso trabajo!!! Felicitaciones!!!

[@beulahshamshum1781]

Absolutely incredible!

[@aaimba]

The amount of time that goes into creating a frame is incredible. Thanks for sharing this. It's so inspiring since we are building our own framing business at aaimba. It was a pleasure seeing this!

[@annafieduna9588]

I loved how much care and precision went into the frames. Beautiful

[@BigmoRivera]

Nicely Done Keep Up The Good Work

[@maximus3974]

Educational , very good. Helps me a lot

[@carlosrosadearagao7881]

[@youtukang]

[@BodOfWar]

Wow - great job !

[@raquelcardenas2809]

Those frames are beautiful!

[@MilosBencic]

just amazing work every episode

[@rawframeshandcrafted]

Really nice frames 👌

[@michael-rommel]

Can't really add anything to what the others already have said - superb, detailled work, as always!! Regarding the inner passepartouts of some of the pieces, I would have chosen a different approach, but to each their own... Cool projects recently, a real pleasure to watch...

[@fabian5717]

A very good alternativ for the glueing is a large rubberband i ve used it very often to do frames

[@arnaldoperez]

It takes a real genius to make something this awesome, out of something simple as a picture frame!! you make everything the cool way.....

[@GetHandsDirty]

Awww graciaaaas :)

[@ninniblack3251]

Un lavoro bellissimo, come sempre
