[@dobman2011]

lovely job and some great techniques in this video.

[@davidbogard4826]

Beautiful technique and finished job! As a photographer the only change I would have done was not letting glass touch the print as over time it could sweat and cause water marks. Even if the glass is warm and each time a door is opened in the Winter.

[@neelsackerman1202]

Craftsmanship at it's best. Well done

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thank you!

[@rubenhernandez8938]

god has given you a great gift. Nice piece of art.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks Ruben

[@Automedon2]

The frame is beautiful, but your work bench is MAGNIFICENT!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks, the outfeed table/workbench is reclaimed Douglas Fir half from skids and half lowbed decking.. it turned out really well and aged well too. Thanks for watching!

[@tonyravenhill9420]

Some very nice woodworking skills. Loved the frame. style and finish are just beautiful.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks Tony! were you there that day for the picture?

[@donfillenworth1721]

Absolutely beautiful! I’m subscribing to see what else you come up with! Thanks for sharing.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks Don! Welcome to my Channel

[@walterrider9600]

what a great thing to do thank you . pictures tend to help memories .

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Welcome Walter, I remember as a kid trying to find my grandpa in a similar crew picture. So for me it brings back lots of memories..

[@rogarcia8555]

Thanks for sharing that awesome technique. Man that frame deserves a placement inside the house next to the family portrait.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks, it has a nice spot in my shop and I do enjoy it quite a bit! I agree with you though but unsure if the excitement would be shared among my family... maybe if I put the family portrait in it...

[@bobwitt305]

Cool project. I'm glad you used the drill method for plugs. I do that a lot. The black and white pic looks great with that finish.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks for watching Bob, saves a lot of time with the drill :)

[@ashadonoma5058]

amazing congrats

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks 😊

[@weston0614]

Absolutely gorgeous! You should put a spot light on the ceiling to shine on that beautiful picture.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

When I put extra light on the ceiling it will be to see what I’m doing in the shop. But I do like the idea to add extra light for the picture also:) thanks for watching..

[@drochon6672]

WOW!
Absolutely gorgeous

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks Dennis!

[@JamesCromwell2047]

It came out magnificently!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks James!

[@davidfairman5461]

When I was watching your vid I became overwhelmed with emotion at the beauty of the project. I must try to emulate what you have done with permission of course n hope I can come close to your original. Thanks Dave

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks Dave.. Permission granted.. Let me know how it turns out..

[@watcherbd45]

What an outstanding !!!! looking frame. you are a craftsman my friend. really enjoyed the music and narration, just the right mix . looking forward to more.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

One has to wonder what type of mentality is of those that put a thumbs down. Just saying. Fantastic job!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks Rory!..

[@allangall6810]

I really like this frame I will try something like it but smaller Thank you Allan

Beautiful

[@HovingtonInstruments]

thank you

[@angusmacdonald7293]

I really like this project, well done

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks Angus.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

Those ebony plugs could have been made into drawbore mortises. Great work as always tomy.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

I agree. But I didn’t see the point since I was using soft wood. Drawbore works great on hard wood, but I’m sceptical of this them on soft wood like fir. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it

[@rimmersbryggeri]

:) Fir or spruce can be quite hard though depending on growth conditions. I have never done any mortising myself and the examples of drawbore mortises I have seen have been on oak I think so I dont doubt your choice. I think they will use it in spruce and pine though in timber framing for splicing joists. However for construction here in sweden it would almost exclusively be spruce.

[@bobwitt305]

Greene and greene, or the hall brothers who built the stuff, didn't actually draw bore anything. A lot of plugs on the originals actually cover screws that were used to pin the m&t joint.

[@ABeardedPanda]

Great video and project!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks

[@billparker5457]

I believe it deserves to be displayed in a more prominent location, well done.

[@Cradley684]

That's great Tomy !!!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks!!

[@GuysShop]

Great work Tomy!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thank you Guy!

[@billwhite6743]

VERY well done.

thanks

[@viewfromtheroad2656]

Outstanding sir!!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thank you Steven!

[@fernandocastillo-of4su]

beatiful work

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks

[@jipes]

Wonerful and this burning effect is amazing. I didn't get how you generate those channels on the surface of the wood ? Was it with the broom I don't think so

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Jipes Blues the softer part of the wood gets burnt and turns to a removable state while the growth ring remains. The broom removes the burnt material quickly... Thanks for watching!

[@jrichmang]

fantastic.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks John

[@dobman2011]

and i coldn't help but notice your laminated mallet, looked like walnut or purple heart with ash or something similar on the outside?

[@bignappy504]

Nice design

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thank you Kenny

Wish i could hart the video that thing is beautiful!

Awesome Tomy.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks Wally

[@wood4nothing284]

Hi there
Can I just say we'll done on the picture fram

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thank you...

[@thebarnyard5633]

Hey man I know this is an older video but was wondering if the wood warped at all? When I try burning the wood always moves a good bit.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

No, it didn’t move when burning and/ or overtime.
Maybe the woods you have tried with were too wet still...🤷‍♂️

[@thebarnyard5633]

Tomy Hovington Thanks for replying 👍🏻

[@NotJustSawdust]

Very Nice and something different than a square frame! (you just forgot to put some acid-free tape in there before putting in the glass and photo, as well as the back) but that's the purist in me speaking as a former Framemaker with a Dutch education (*_*)

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Haha! love this...always something to learn, what is the purpose of the tape? is it to prevent a reaction between the wood frame and the picture?

[@NotJustSawdust]

Yes, it to prevent the photo (or any other paper) from "yellowing". That's why frame makers use an acid-free back to. It won't show very quickly but if you frame something that you want to pass on, it's an option to think about. I still have some tools from my old shop in The Netherlands and did get some questions about them while using them in a few of my video's. So I've got a video planned about them (will get to the materials also)

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Not Just Sawdust I’m looking forward to seeing this video:) thanks for the information.. I really appreciate.

[@montewoods4766]

Tony, very nice project and well done

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@richparker7778]

Very beautiful. Was the trailer built for a specific load ?

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks, yes those trailers are always built for a specific load but can be reused multiple times. This one if I’m not mistaken was to haul a electrical transformer.

[@richparker7778]

My apologies Tomy. I did not hear you state the use of the origin the beginning.

[@alexfilippov2104]

👍super

[@HovingtonInstruments]

thank you

[@kasperwinding1406]

What kind of mini router are you using ?

[@HovingtonInstruments]

It’s a Dremel 4000 with the Stewart Macdonald router base. www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Types_of_Tools/Routers_and_Bits/Routers/Precision_Router_Base.html
Thanks for watching..

[@dennisdownes9319]

Beautiful frame. Where was the picture taken?

[@HovingtonInstruments]

The picture of the trailer and crew was taken in the company yard. I assume they didn’t want all the rubbish in the background so they photoshopped mountains in the background. We’re in British Columbia so they are readily available;) thanks for your feedback and for watching!

[@tuckerirwin4382]

What kind of wood did you use?

[@HovingtonInstruments]

It’s Douglas Fir 🌲

[@baileysbootstraps8170]

Many people going to see it in your "workshop" ????..... People need to SEE this ;)

[@HovingtonInstruments]

I think there will be more people seeing it in my shop through TH-cam than people coming over to my place.. Glad you enjoyed the video and have fun with your blowtorch;)

[@DhakaDough]

16 mins gone in 16 secs!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

This quick??? I guess you can always watch it again if it went too quick;) thanks for watching!

[@DhakaDough]

its beautiful :)

[@denisblack5689]

great project, very good job! but the music is sooooooooo booooorriiiiing😭

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Thanks for watching ! You know.. it’s impossible to make everyone happy with the music... so as long as I like it and I can use it legally, it’s all good. Really appreciate the feedback...

[@denisblack5689]

You're right :) you can't satisfy everyone:)
