A tour of my woodworking shop while I create custom molding and frame a couple of art prints. Tips and tricks to make quality frames in your shop. You don't need anything more sophisticated than a router table and a table saw...but I use all my toys!

Mr. Farris, this is a great video. Thanks for taking the time to make and post it.

Amazing beautiful wood work. AND that is a great deal of work for a custom picture frame. I don't have the tools or patience for this level of multiple steps.

I’ve never seen the math like that to figure outside dimensions for a frame. Nice!

Loved watching this beautiful woodworking! One respectful suggestion on the mounting of prints from a hobbyist woodworker married to a professional picture framer. That paper is going to move with changes in temperature and humidity. Securing on all four sides prevents that natural movement of the paper and likely will lead to rippling. Even though that “package” is tightly compressed in the frame, that paper is going to figure out a way to move! Best way to mount any print like that is with 2 small “hinges” along the top edge of the print. The print then freely hangs in the space and is able to expand and contract as needed, all undetectable to the human eye. Perfectly natural and expected in picture framing. For those times when “it absolutely has to be perfectly flat and stay that way,” the print can be dry mounted to a substrate. But that’s for another day. Thanks for another fabulous peek into the shop of an expert woodworker!

Thanks, Jim. You think I should take it apart and remove the tape from three sides?

@WCUMBFAN 3 жыл бұрын

As much of a pain as that might be, I would do it, Jeff. Twenty-some years ago, I did the same thing (although not with as beautiful wood frames), and I got the ripple. Best to carefully remove now and just attach with 2 pieces about 1” wide at the top of each print, about an inch or two in from the sides. The prints will love you for it! And it should be MUCH easier getting those glazer points back in second time around!

Where did you get your Nobex framing cord clamp? I don't see them available anywhere in the US...

Nicely done, Jeff. What was the name of the finish you used again? I didn't quite catch it. Also the polishing system? I've never buffed wood before - that looked like it came out really well.

@SharpToolsUSA 3 жыл бұрын

The finish Osmo Polyx Oil. The buffing system is the Beall Buffing System...three steps, tripoli, white diamond and carnauba wax.

Great job Jeff; only not so great sound. Did your lavaliere go dead in the charge that causes echoes? But again, the video was awesome kind Sir.

So..... if one does not have all this specialized equipment, how can we use a miter saw, router table, clamps and glue to make a frame?

@stevehopkins5907 2 жыл бұрын

A question about your antique table saw. I have an old (1987?) Craftsman table saw that I bought new. I’ve done a little “refreshing” of it lately but am having trouble getting the rip fence perpendicular to the table top. If I get it perpendicular then the rail is not parallel with the table top. Do you have any suggestions? Is there some internal adjustment I can make? Any suggestions for an after-market fence?

@SharpToolsUSA 2 жыл бұрын

Steve, start by verifying that the blade is parallel to the table. Measure from the miter slot to the blade at the front and rear of the blade. If there's a difference you'll have to adjust the trunnion until it is parallel. I believe on your saw you'll find the trunnion is mounted to the underside of the table in 4 points. The holes in the trunnion brackets are slightly over-sized to allow alignment. Once you have the blade and table top aligned, align the rip fence to the table top. If the rail itself is not perpendicular to the table isn't relevant. As far as an aftermarket fence, I would watch the used market for a vintage (80s - 90s) Biesemeyer.

what router bits do you recommend?

@SharpToolsUSA 3 жыл бұрын

In general? I like Whiteside. If you're looking for specifics for picture frame molding, I'm afraid that is quite subjective. On this pair I just used a simple, small Roman Ogee.
