I don't know what was more ingenious, the masking tape to glue it together, the brackets to make sure it was exactly 45 degrees or the scraper wrapped in sandpaper to sand in small places. The frame was beautiful. Your workmanship is unbelievable. Such a great job.
Thanks very much mate, feedback like yours makes it all worthwhile.
This was the best (by far) tutorial I've ever seen for making a floating frame. I will be referring to it a lot as I create my frames. Thank you very much for this!
Thank you very much Michelle. Glad it was helpful.
Vic, the cook has been wanting this done to one of our paintings for ages....great tutotial! Love the tip re the sandpaper on the scraper as well. Cheers mate 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺😁
No worries Shane. Thanks mate. I think some good advice would be to keep the cook happy. I can see you making one using old fence palings.
DownUnderWoodWorks You read my mind mate...old fence palings it is 👌☺️
Absolutely stunning, that frame matches that beautiful painting perfectly!!!
Thank you very much, and i have to agree with you.
What talent you have in your craft! Absolutely beautiful, you really did a gorgeous painting justice with this custom frame, job well done!
Thank you very much Bianca.
Wow, you made it look so easy that I can't wait to try it out myself. Thank you so much for such an informative video.
No problem Chrissy, good luck with it and enjoy.
I just built almost exactly this frame with some leftover scraps of wood. It turned out absolutely amazing, and I'll be making more of these for sure. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure Eilon, so good to hear that your frames turned out great
My partner was so impressed by this that she asked me to make one for a Chris Valle painting she bought. Great instructions, was really easy to follow.
Awesome mate, great it worked out. thanks for sharing.
Your work is very clean. I also like the simplicity of the build. Thanks for uploading this video!
Thank you very much for your comment. Apologies for the late reply but I'm trying to clear my "Comments I haven't responded to" list.
Thank you. Clear simple practical video with no music, graphics or other fillers - just good useful tips.
Thank you very much Stephen, glad you enjoyed it
Amazingly simple and effective way to create a floating frame. I especially liked the heat-shrink wrap tip. Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much Tatyana
I’ve made a few floating frames in the past, and your excellent video gave me three new ideas that I never thought of before. Thank you! And cheers Mate!
No worries Glenn, thanks mate. Glad you got something out of it.
You explain the framing process step by step clearly. Splendid talent!
Thank you very much Jen-Dan.
This was an awesome work that I would like to try myself for my paintings. Thanks for the idea!
No worries Chupito, thanks very much.
Great tutorial, thank you! The painting looked great in the frame and I loved how the wood had been in the family over 90 years now!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. The timber adds a great story to the painting
Beautiful frame and love the fact that it is re-purposed wood with a back story. And that tip about using shrink wrap over the wire..brilliant. I'll be using that. Thanks!
Thanks very much, glad you got something from it.
Looks a treat and I look forward to all of your videos. The shadow line around the painting looks amazing great detail.!
Thanks very much Harry, I was very happy with how it turned out.
This is a great tutorial. I love how meticulous you are with your work. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much Samu
Awesome tutorial and thank you! The idea of spray painting the backing frame in black is a nice touch.
Thank you Julian. The black background is needed really to enhance the shadow effect.
Wow that canvas really pops with that frame, I love it. When you first showed the canvas it looked very flat and lifeless, but the frame really made it come alive. Very nicely done !!
Yeah Les, I have to agree with you totally. The artist loved it too. Cheers mate.
Love the sandpaper on the scraper and heat shrink tips. Great looking frame!
Thanks very much Troy.
Your video is the first one I clicked on for floating frames, and a very well produced video as well as frame. Well done. It's a pleasure watching you work - therapeutic.
Thank you Ken, thats a lovely comment
Okay, you may be my new hero... I am a novice painter, woodworker, maker... And I think I learned at least 10 things in this video that will make my life easier when woodworking and crafting. Great tutorial on making a floating frame, PACKED with tricks and tips to use with woodworking in general! Can't wait to spend time in the shop this weekend!
Thank you very much Sven. I'm very happy that it was so helpful for you

Thankyou so much for your clear, concise style of presentation. Your words are neat, your work is super neat and so is your workshop! :)
Thank you very much Ozlem, comments like yours help to keep me motivated and inspired.
Excellent video as always, honestly out of all my subscriptions you are the only chanel in which I do not fast forward or skip any of it. You could make an hour long video and I'd still watch the whole thing. Your tips are extremely useful and I look forward to using them on future projects. I also look forward to the next video, thank you for them.
Hey Robert, thanks for the awesome comments, so glad you enjoy the channel. Cheers mate.
Robert B ...Cannot agree more.
me too
It was sharply apparent that you have great skills when you fold those slanted edges together and had them fit to a perfect rectangle.
Thank you very much Marie
Brilliant video.Thanks very much. I've always found the idea of making my own floater frames daunting, but this video easily explains the process with such clarity.
Thank you very much. Hopefully I've inspired you to try it yourself.
What a lovely painting! And the frame looks wonderful. Thank you for the tip, man!
No worries John. Thanks mate
This frame is absolutely stunning. The color of the wood beautiful! Watching your video was very relaxing thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Magdalena, glad you liked it
Wow! Gluing the backing pieces into place is just the tip I needed!!! Cheers!
Glad it helped mate
I've now watched too many videos on this subject, and can therefore say categorically that this is the best one! I love the steps along the way to make it come out the best it possibly can ... many thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for the video. I’ve watched quite a few of these float frame tutorials and I found this one a good mix of professional finish yet explained well and achievable with practise. Thankyou :)
You're very welcome. Glad it was helpful.
Perfectly done and beautiful result.
Thank you very much
Really nice result - I love using wood that has a story of it's own, very cool use of that 'heirloom' cedar
Thanks Matte, there's something special about using old reclaimed timber.
I really liked this video. A no fuss approach to the frame making with some great tips such as the masking tape for getting tight joints. Artistic as well as the final result really works. I look forward to more. J
Thank you very much John.
Thank you! Ive watched several floating frame videos and this is definitely the best and easiest!

No problem Bridie, so happy to have given you the confidence to do it yourself
Ive been watching tutorials over and again and this is my favourite. ❤
Thank you so much Nicole
Love that push stick. Great idea
Thanks Andy, glad you like it. I still use it everyday
nice job, the black painted interior makes a great border
Thanks Dave, the black gives the shadow effect.
Just subscribed!! Thanks for an awesome tutorial in framing. I'd been searching for ages then came across this. Concise and easy to follow. Can't wait to make my first frame. Cheers from Sydney!
Thanks katie and welcome. i'm so glad to hear that it was helpful. Cheers also from Sydney.
Beautiful job my friend! I love the heat shrink touch on the hanging wire. Thanks for sharing this nicely produced video.
Thank you very much John, glad you liked it
Exactly what I was looking for. Very professional. Thank you.
Glad it helped mark. Thanks.
Picked up a lot of great tips for that next framing project. Thanks a bunch! Subscribed!
Thank you very much for the sub and I'm glad it was helpful Nichol
This was very clear and well explained. I have many personal paintings I have done and want to frame but don’t want to pay for pre-made frames. Now I can make them custom myself. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful Jerome. It'll be great to frame your own paintings
Outstanding work, simplistic and effective.
Thank you very much!
You are a true craftsman Great instructions. I need this for my art!! Thank you.
Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated.
Thank you from Greece. You helped me a lot making my own frames.
my pleasure, very glad to hear that Axiothea.
Very good video! This was just what I needed to do my next project. I appreciate the step by step detail you provide in your videos, and I always learn a new technique or two to make my life easier. I'm also working on how to speak metric as a second language since we have not yet progressed that far in the USA. Thanks much and keep 'em coming.
Haha. Thanks very much Tom. Glad the video was helpful.
Your heat shrink idea is genius !
Thanks very much Colin, keeps it neat and tidy
Looking really good and it sure pops out of the frame.
Thanks very much mate, this was one of my favourites.
You made a great video here - learned a lot and ready to start making them. Thanks much.
Thank you Anthony, glad it was helpful!
Nice job. I picked up a couple of great tips. Sandpaper on a putty knife is genius plus the shrink to make the cable tidy. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Scott, my pleasure.
I LOVE watching you work: you're such a fantastic wood-worker, I like how you took the time to create the most BEAUTIFUL frame that perfectly complements the painting. I'm english so I also love your accent! I'm very envious of your tools & gadgets but I wouldn't know or be able to do what you do anyway! Thank you for putting this up and for showing us how you do it. Best wishes from France.
Wow Jenny, thank you so much for the wonderful words of support. Best wishes to you too from Sydney, Australia.
That scraper sandpaper tip is great!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it
Great video!! I especially like the shrink tubing idea. That gives a really nice final touch of quality. Well done.
Thanks very much Dave, glad you liked it
I just did a floating frame similar to the one you made but I didn't have a black reveal. That is what I loved about the frame you put together here. I have about 6 more frames to make and I will make them all with the black reveal you showed in this video. Thanks for the tip. Great work by the way.
Thanks very much and I'm glad you got something from the video
Really Excellent. Your attention to detail is exceptional.
Thank you very much Shelley
The end result is perfect, exactly what that painting needed!
Thanks very much Mario, good to hear from you. What have you been up to?
@@DownUnderWoodWorks I've really pulled back my time in the workshop the last couple of years, focusing on work a lot more instead.
Was a bit of a sacrifice, but now I've managed to get myself to a point where I can start enjoying my days off, and importantly can now spend a little bit of coin on tools, instead of always just making do. I wasn't enjoying trying to make sandpaper last longer among other things lol.
I don't know if I'll get back into making videos, but I'm enjoying just watching them again at least!
@@woodfather All the best mate, whatever you choose to do.
Great tutorial. I have a large painting hanging up unframed for the past 25 years. So I now know what to do with it. Out with the table saw.
Sounds good Jeremy. Glad the video was helpful!
Excellent video. Instructions were clear and concise.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful.
Wow! What a fantastic frame. You are a master, and some excellent tips. Great video.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful frame, great tutorial!
Thank you very much
I loved your frame work. I'll give it a try. Thank you for the tutorial.
Glad you liked it, thanks mate.
No words can express how this video is helpful , thanks a lot 🙏
Thank you very much Ali, you’re most welcome 😊
most definitely a helpful tutorial, great job, Thank You
Glad it was helpful Rich. Thanks.
Incredible work!
Thank you very much
Very nice! I make these frames myself. Love the heat-shrink tip!
Thanks Craig, great to hear that mate.
Beautiful work!
Thank you Terence
Thanks for the video. It was the best and most concise of many that I watched.
Thanks very much Al, glad it was helpful!
Very instructional with more than a few great tips, like the aforementioned use of the scraper for sanding and for glue clean-up. The section with the high speed filming of the table-sawing was a little scary to watch, though, even knowing it was not at normal speed.
Ha, all good here Tom. Glad to hear the video was helpful.
So many clever tricks. Your videos never disappoint. Kudos once again!
Thank you Marco, glad you liked it.
Mate this was awesome. Love how cleanly your work is. 🍺
Thank you very much. Cheers mate
thank you! this is so far the best way to make a floating frame i was searching in youtube
Thank you very much Leo, glad I could help. Check out my latest video where I show a slight change to the way I make the frames th-cam.com/video/l2xYlErV1Hw/w-d-xo.html
Awesome job, I know this video was created way back in 2017 but it still inspires newbies like myself in 2022. THANK YOU!
Thank you very much Justin. The beauty of YT is that these resources are here forever for people to discover. This video is still one of my most popular
Great look and concept. Definitely worth the awesome look!
Thanks very much Pete.
The Sandpaper on the scraper is just what I need for my project, Thanks for the tip!!
No worries Marty, glad to be able to help.
Beautiful frame for a beautiful paiting of Ayers Rock (I think). The heat shrink is a master touch. Thanks for the vid, will get cracking tomorrow to make one.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. Happy framing
Excellent! Lots of great tips - thank you!
Great to hear that mate. Thanks very much
Genius performance woodworking! learned so many little tricks, well done.
Continue to be healthy and happy.
Thank you very much, glad it was so helpful and same to you
Nice. After watching a few videos on this topic it is clear that you are a professional in the first few minutes. I really appreciate the attention to detail. Even if I had no use for the framing project, just seeing the table saw jigs and clever tips you offer is time well spent.
Cheers from The Great White North
