@@TheCreativeGlow What I loved is that you used corner molding, genius! Is much cheaper and easier than using 1 by 2 hardwood base, Then adding quarter inch lattice piecesTo the outside of the frame. not to mention all the time you save gluing and cutting and measuring.

This is the best floating frame tutorial I've been able to find in my browsing today. The majority of them were provided by people who were working in a professional shop equipped with professionally provided tools. You were able to create your floating frame with equipment that an artist would use trying to frame their own art. I appreciate your clear instruction and the reality that you provided because you made it accessible and I am grateful.

Thanks a bunch! This was a helpful and simple tutorial and the fact that you aren't someone with expensive high end tools and a workshop made me feel a lot more confident about doing it. Nothing is worse than finding a DIY video where the equipment used is so professional that it would cost way more to get the material than to buy the frame. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

This is PERFECT. I will say I dont have a chop saw so I am using a Miter Box and hand saw. It can be done this way to save money but I will say be sure to have plenty of clamps to hold you wood in the miter box as I had ALOT of sanding to try to fix my errors.

Yes, I've used a mitre box to make 45s on another very large project once, and the angles definitely were not great! But it can be done if you know how to tackle it! Thanks for letting everyone know!

Without a doubt this is by FAR the BEST tutorial on how to build a floater frame - aimed at the average person! Step-by-step, and suitable for someone (like me) who doesn’t have a full workshop or a ton of experience working with wood. Love that it’s Canadian based as well. Definitely picking up one of those clamps from Canadian Tire. I have purchased similar frames from one of our art supply stores and although I appreciate the convenience, I have found that they work best for their specific brand of canvases . Thank you - GREAT WORK!

This was an extremely well done tutorial. I have a huge piece of art stretched on a canvas, which will sit inside a window sill & function as a window blind. Since the art piece is about 4" smaller than the inside of the sill, I'll need to create a frame that will allow for a gentle "friction fit" on the sides of the frame. I doubt the corner moulding will be wide enough to fill the gap, but I'll look for one in a thick size. This tutorial showed me what I needed to know - as I figure out what material will give the depth of moulding needed. The lightness of a floating frame is a big plus, & the way it can feature & enhance the art is great. Thank you.

Wow! It never crossed my mind to use the corner trim pieces for the smaller frames!!! Genius!!! I still need my table saw for thicker 24 x 36 frames but you just saved me a LOT of time for the smaller ones. And I bought that exact clamp from CT. What an absolute time and annoyance saver, especially when it is on sale! I bought it in December 2021 when it was 50% off ($9!!!) Well worth it for anyone.
