Today we are making a stretched canvas frame for diamond art. which can be used for any Canvas art. the Mitered Bridal joint is a fun joint and with a wrapped canvas it does not need any hardware or glue.

As a former framer, I can say that diamond art is not the easiest to stretch. Since it doesn't need to breath like a traditional oil painting, I would usually suggest to customers to have it framed flat with a mat and glass (glass also helps protect the dots from damage). Canvas frames also are usually beveled in from the front outside edge, so that the art is in contact with the minimal amount on the front. We were just getting float frames when the framing department got closed by covid, but that would be an easy addition if you wanted a border while still seeing the decorated edges.

Never heard of "diamond art" before. But that picture of Tower Bridge at sunset is very good. Especially with the Tower of London on the north bank. FWI, my mother was born and raised in London. Along with most children, she was evacuated to the countryside when WW-II started in September 1939, but had to return in December after her 16th birthday. She did return to school for a while, but that ended after a German 500 lb bomb came down the main staircase of the school one night. She spent the rest of the war living and working in London, mostly as a machinist. But then in 1945 & 46 all the men came home and wanted "their" jobs back ...

Timely....I didn't know what diamond art was, but my daughter completed one that she would like framed. I've got it in my project queue at the moment, so I may try something like this after I finish making christmas gifts.

You can take the frame a step further by planing an angle on the face, leaving about 5 mm around the outside edges. Then give the sharp corners a small round over. This allows for any slight twisting of the timber which will push on the back of the canvas. Keeps everything nice and flat.

Pretty interesting process, James! Fantastic work! 😃 I used to paint, years ago... All the canvas frames are fine, but the external ones... Let's just say I'm going to need to make a bunch of them. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Was gonna ask what the picture is of in London. But relevant comments it’s tower of London and London Bridge. I actually Tom act that bridge many times. When I could see and I was working. But I’ve run over it a few times doing the London Marathon. I did the first year I did it with my guide runner, a woman stopped to take a photo of it as we was running towards it just in front of me I ran straight into the back for it hurt. So got some great memories of that bridge. I haven’t heard of diamond art I’m gonna have to try and find out a bit about it

Wry timely, just got my wife her first diamond art kit. I see many frames in my future. Can you explain how you did the diamonds your own photo? Did your print the photo on canvas and use clear diamonds? Or use a light box and colored diamonds? As always thanks for all you do.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 жыл бұрын

I ordered it from homecraftology. They take your picture and can render it with diamonds. I've done that for four or five of them now. Usually takes a month or two as they come from Australia but they're phenomenal quality and work really well.

Could you do one with wedges to stretch the canvass?

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 жыл бұрын

That would be interesting to try. I don't think I would want to do it with diamond art as you don't want to stretch it fully tight. Otherwise you'll get diamonds popping off on the corner. But with a regular canvas. That might be fun.

@Fridili50 2 жыл бұрын

I second this! I would be very interested to see a keyed floating joint for stretching canvas.

@lynxg4641 2 жыл бұрын

Good idea, it's basically just a double joint of this with wedges. James, to not let so much of the wood rest against the canvas, try chamfering it off some, that's how the nicest canvas' with thick frames are made.

If I were to do this for standard canvas I would definitely put that in. However, for diamond art you don't want to stretch it that far. Otherwise the diamonds will start popping off.

Overkill on both tools and labor. 99.9% of folks out there are not capable of this kind of woodworking nor do the know about or have ever seen a shoulder plane much less a mortise gauge. Maybe send this video to Fine Woodworking.
