- In this Rockler demo you'll learn several tips that will help you make picture frames. We all know that there are a LOT of different styles and joint options for making picture frames. The most common feature mitered corners. And why not? They’re quicker to make than other options, they’re classic and of course, exceedingly functional. But notice that I didn’t say easy! That’s because as you probably already know, 45-degree miter joints like these can be tricky to cut, glue and clamp up accurately. And the wider the frame members are, the more challenging they can be. But, here are five things you can do to up your odds for success when making frames like these.

Titebond Quick and Thick Glue: www.rockler.co...
I recently made a mitered picture frame, and for the 1st time opted to use dowels to hold the miters together. This is now my preferred technique since it aided with alignment and the joints could not slip during clamping.

You're marvelous teacher. One thing is to know how to do it for yourself, but passing and sharing the knowledge is a completely different level. And you did it exactly that. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad we can help.
Most framers grab readymade frames or precut strips and talk do this and do that. This video is very informative
Products aside-Chris Marshall seems like a great instructor.
Thanks Chris! I always enjoy your presentations. Very clear instruction.
Thanks for watching!
That was the best video I've seen regarding mitered picture frames. Nice job!!
Thanks for watching!
The section on glue was fantastic. Rockler should make another video just about types of glue
Thank you for the tips!
🙌
Exactly the information I needed at this time. Thanks.
One tool i don't see as much being used is Collins clamps i used them as a finish carpenter.
This is a great video. Thanks so much.
Thank you-very well presented video.
Thanks Chris!
Thanks
Thank you. Perfect for my 16x20 canvas print applications.
no glue--- great video but why suggest a glue we can't get. Speed set is not available in the size shown. wasted an hour of my woodworking time searching the web trying to fine it.
We apologize that you were unable to find the glue. At this time, we're only selling the gallon size. We hope to offer a smaller size in the future. If you decide to purchase the gallon, we do sell a glue applicator set that will could be helpful: www.rockler.com/rocklers-glue-applicator-set
I’m new to woodworking. I thought a picture frame would be something easy to begin with. I only have a mitre box. Would I be better suited to make something easier and if so, what would you suggest that be?
Thank you

Very good video but did he put a rabbit on the frame to hold the picture?
Yes, both photos shown in the video are rabbeted in the back to recess the glass, photo and backer board. These rabbets can be cut either before the picture frame is assembled (at the router table with a straight bit or piloted rabbeting bit or on a table saw with dado blade) or after it's glued up with a piloted rabbeting bit in a handheld router.
great video, but where can i purchase a small bottle of titebond speed set? i only find the 1 gallon size.

Why not use your miter saw for the 45deg cuts?
Hi John, a miter saw is a fine substitute for a table saw for cutting 45-degree picture frame miters. But be careful to check the saw's cutting angle for accuracy, just as you must do when using a miter gauge on a table saw for the same purpose. Even though a miter saw as a 45-degree detent to help up your odds for accuracy, it still can get thrown off with normal use and wear and tear.
Yeah , but how about the rabit? How do you put that into the variable.

So I checked Rockler's web site and they don't even carry the Titebond Speed Set touted in the video. Weird...
they carry it, but only in the gallon size. It would take me years to go through a gallon of glue. I bought a gallon of Titebond 3 two years ago, and I've only used about a quarter of the bottle. It's honestly probably gone bad at this point.
@@joepiz016 Thanks, it didn't show up when I ran a search on the site, not even the gallon. But you're right, I could never use a gallon!
@@johnh4921 I'm starting to think they just aren't offering if in anything smaller than that right now, because I went directly to Titebond's website and they only offer it by the gallon there too.
@@joepiz016 Thanks for the heads up, appreciate it.
i was getting very pissed off with the accuracy. i was using a mitre saw. evolution brand. all squared up and set. the last piece of assembled into place alllllwwys was off. i then tried the rail with Protractor in the dewalt table saw. by taping all 4 pieces of wood togather on a bunch i cut all 4 pieces at once. the whole thing was perfect.
Five tips? Or five products to sell?
This is an edvert, not a tutorial.
What's with this guy, he is so annoying. Rockler surely could find some with more personality
