How to Make a Float Frame without a Table Saw

- This is a great beginner woodworking project showing you how to make a float frame for artwork without using a table saw. I used .5 inch x 1.5" standard material to make this frame and you can find it any any home store. I used Poplar, which is a good wood to use for painted projects. For tools, you'll need an inexpensive chop saw and an 18 gauge nail gun with a compressor, hose and nails that can be bought as a kit. Both the chop saw and nail gun are great basic tools to have in the shop and they come in handy in a lot of projects.

Great clip, certainly for those of us who don’t have a table saw. I don’t have a mitre saw, but that is something I can accommodate in my somewhat overstuffed garage……..
By the way……at 76, I’m ok with 13/16” rather than metric. Some folks aren’t, apparently………..something about ‘old dogs and new tricks’…………..
Thanks 👍
This video came out at the perfect time, I bought a painted picture yesterday and my wife asked me to make a float frame for it. Now I know how to make it. Thanks Jon!
I love when my daughters color and paint for me . Good work again Jon!
Thanks Richard, yeah kids always make the best art.
This is the best instruction for beginners. Simple, easy without drawing everything out by over instructing. Thank you love it!!
Of all the videos I looked at this was the one that taught me how to build a frame. Thank you sir.
Thanks for all of these videos. I'm always sending people your way when they ask me how I make my frames. Really appreciate what you're doing. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video and the others! I am an artist and making my own frames is going to save me money as well as create a finished product to present at shows! You're videos are straightforward (no unnecessary chatter which is great) and easy to follow! I appreciate that you are an artist yourself! My father was a finish carpenter and always taught me that I can do these things! I have my new miter saw and nail gun and I am super excited with my results so far! Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you Jon for your instructions. May the Lord Bless you and your family.
OMG, this is exactly what I was looking for! I already made a frame, I just needed to figure out how to make a picture sit in it. A float frame is perfect! THANK YOU!!!!
You are a God-send. This is exactly the type of frame I am looking for. You answered all my questions Sir. Now all of my beauties will come with a frame attached to their behind.
Thanks for the video Jon! I replaced the hideous 5” gold-painted dental crown moulding on a large oil painting using your method. To save time and effort (I’m lazy), I joined the backing strips to the moulding at a right angle, nailed and glued, and then mitered them to the final size. This is the first place I look when I need ideas… Thanks again!
That's a great video, Jon - the most succinct and also the easiest to follow in terms of both instruction and supplies required.
I see your daughter is taking after you in artistic talent. Nice simple method for a float frame. Thanks for the instruction!
Thanks Bruce
Cool, simple frame. I believe I can find many uses for these. Thanks for the video Jon.
Thanks for your clear, simple to follow instructions. Just what I was looking for.
MANNNN ... My dad and I are making a shadow box. We could not figure out the 45 degree angles. Many videos later, this literally saved our lives! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
GOD BLESS YOU THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!! THANK YOUUU!!!!
Excellent job and easy to do it, thanks for sharing your experience with us!
I wish I had that precision. Can't tell you how many times I've blown a brad nail out the other side because it wasn't lined up as well as I thought. Great video!
Good video, Jon, as always. Appreciate your common sense approach to your projects.
Thank you so much for sharing the video. I did my first floater frame today..!!
Love this. There are so many videos/tutorials on making these frames that are just way over-engineered. I like this simple approach, it still results in a really nice frame but without the excessively-complex process that so many others use.
How much does it cost to have a floating frame made. I bought a very nice oil painting from Italy last summer (28 x 33). It still in the tubing. I could still smell the paint. help!
Thank you I will be following your excellent video to make one of these float frames!
Thanks for sharing this. I have some canvas art that I wanted to frame and had a different method I was going to use. I like the way this looks and I think I'm going to go this route instead.
You have a few videos on this but without a table saw this is the one!! Really makes a canvas look museum quality 🙌
This was insanely helpful! Thank you!!
Very simple way to make a float frame. I never thought of using my nail gin for frames but I will now.
Thank you Jon.... I have had a terrible time with miter frames. Measuring 1" from the inside corner then adding 1" to the length has been my problem. Your daughter's painting is charming, the larger pictures were interesting. It will be interesting to see them installed.
Good technique. I like the simplicity.
Best video I’ve found to make floating frame. Thanks so much.
Thank you very much for this sharing and this tutorial so well filmed and explained. Everything is clear and precise, really a huge thank you.
I appreciate you so much! Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.
Right, the more times you do something the better you do!, It's not a joke, Jon, it's a confirmation.
An ingenious idea, this one of double molding, is the door to a multitude of frame configurations using the internal molding on the front of the frame.
Thank you for sharing your work, that provides a lot of enjoyment to us.
The Internet is a beautiful tool!.
¡Cierto, cuantas más veces haces algo mejor lo haces!, no es una broma Juan, es una confirmación.
Una idea ingeniosa, ésta de la doble moldura, es la puerta de multitud de configuraciones de marcos utilizando la moldura interna en el frente del marco.
Gracias por compartir tu trabajo, qué tanto disfrute nos proporciona.
¡Internet es una hermosa herramienta!.
Nice job building the frame and your instructions are very clear. I'll be adding the sacrificial fence to my mitre saw. Lastly, there is no need to mitre the inside frame. You can do that with butt joints and biscuits, pocket screws or just the glue. You can also use pocket screws to attach the inside frame to the outside frame so you don't have to tack it together from the outside. Nail holes are almost always visible, even after you fill them.
Thank you very much for this fantastic video! Definitely going to be checking out your channel in-depth.
Muito bom o vídeo e gostei também da área externa casa. Muito lindo. Um abraço meu amigo.
This is the perfect video I was looking for 🙏🏼 clearly explained and demonstrated
thank you looks great
can’t wait to try
Great instruction as always, Jon. BTW, other than poplar being a bit soft, I find it to be a very nice wood to use for some furniture even with a clear finish.
This was the best tutorial. So easy to understand. Thanks!
That's what I'm talking about ! Thank's Mr.G
Love the step by step!
Inspirational as always.
I’m curious to know what your thoughts would be on translating this method to a painting made on stretched canvas instead of a panel, and how it might effect the long-term stability of the painting?
Beautiful Job Jon, I still
Great video! Saves me from buying a table saw for now. Really like the paintings!
Thanks so much, fantastic guidance for a beginner, worked perfectly!
Hmm, might have a go at floating frames for my artwork. Loved to see the RAF symbol. Many thanks .
Thanks!
This video is super helpful! Thank you for creating this!
This is the most helpful video I've seen today. Thank you!!
This was very informative and easy to follow. Thank you!
"We're not going to use a table saw"
Okay I'm listening
"We're going to use a chop saw"
Bro wtf i thought we were on the same page
Misleading as always. Another one betrays us.
seriously I live in an apartment downtown in a major city, we need something for the guys that don't have dedicated workshops or garages
Miter saw (hand tool) with miter box should work ...
Great video! It really simplifies how to do this. Thank you!
Excellent explanation John, the secret of a beautiful painting is undoubtedly a good finish, thanks for the class, haha!
This is awesome!!!! I can not thank you enough for this video!!! I made an art piece for my son and have decided to frame it myself however I’m not quite comfortable with my table saw just yet so this is a huge help, thank you 🙏🏼!
Glad I could help!
John, you have a lovely way about your work /love and it is lovely to see a real artist at work.
Simple and straight to the point
Good instructions for a beginner, thanks! I just watched another super complicated float frame video (for skilled woodworkers) and thought...no way.
Really clear instructions - thank you
Being a novice artist I need to make the floating frames and this video is a tremendous help! Thanks Jon!
Happy to hear it, Thanks!
@@JonPetersArtHome you’re very welcome! Happy New Year
If you’re a novice check your fingers. Never put themin front of the nailer. NEVER…
wow this was just wat i am looking for, just for my wooden art pannels ,, thank you hilde from belgium
Nice floating frame Jon! Thanks for sharing it.😎👍JP
Excellent tutorial, thanks so much Jon. I'm a photographer and want to build these frames for my canvas prints, going to try this.
Thanks, Jon -- very useful !!
Awesome video man. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you! 🙂
Brilliant - just what I was looking for. Thank you Jon :)
Easy and positive. Thank you
tijuana learning . thanks jon
I've only built a few of these and am learning a lot from you. I normally glue the strainer to the frame board before makeing my miters. I'm basically dealing with an "L" shaped board at that point. My thought process was then I only need to make a single set of miter cuts rather than having to make perfect fitting miters to fit the strainer in the frame. I thought I was saving myself work and making it easier but now I wonder if I'm setting myself up for problems later or actually making more work. Hope I explained my process well enough. Thoughts?
this is the way. hes setting himself up for more work. also , using brad nails is for armatures. learn to spline and you wont have to use wood filler to hide the holes.
Excellent, this is what I was looking for. Thanks!
Great! I’m happy to hear it
Thank you so much! The way you explain how is easy to understand. I can't wait to try it.
I’m glad to hear it! Thanks
Great work as usual Jon! Always take away something from watching your vids................ :)
Beautiful. So glad you used common sizes. I’ve watched some other vids and have been looking for that sized moulding pieces with zero luck. I am certain I can find the size you used.
Thanks Jon.
I want to be a carpenter bro! you make it look so cool!
Great instructions. Now I know how to make this for a friend of mine. It will be my first but I will try it.
Good video. Might I recommend using a square or something to check to make sure your frame is square before you let the glue set. If you arent using a frame joiner, and are doing it by hand, its VERY easy for it to get out of square and make it difficult to fit to the painting :D
Awesome video.... frames have always kicked my butt... lol
Thank you for this. Excellent tutorial!
Hello Jon, a nice frame and a really nice video with good tricks. Thanks a lot for showing! Have a nice time. Best regards! Rudi from Bremen, Germany
Excellent 100% helpful... Jon keep up the good work!
Thank you for this!
Thanks, Jon! Very simple way to make frames. If you're an artist, the simpler the better. I'm a woodworker, too, but would rather spend my time painting instead of making frames.
Thank you so much for the video! Just a question: is that mean that the painting will get holes on the sides at the back by using screws to attach the painting to the frame? I saw that it's different than doing for the big panel painting because you screws on the cross bars instead. I just want to understand the process... thanks!
Nice painting. Thank you!
Thank you very nice way to make a frame
Thank you.
Thank you, for your great process & explanation. I took what I learn & I have now successfully build a pic frame(8X8), GodBless
Thanks Ralph
Thank your for this video, I just wish I could have found it before I actually did a floating frame with another video. I like how you did the strainer and the frame in 2 parts, some other videos they attach them first and then cut, but not everybody has those big saws in their houses. I did used poplar, but my only question is, how can I achieve a good quality finish painting job on the frame, im trying to achieve a golden color that kinda matches our other frames. I want a fine, smooth golden color finish. any reccomendations?
Best, while simplest diy frame, so far.
Great video. Thank you.
And yes, just as you've confessed, you are great in making floating frames! 😂
Great video John 😊!
so beautiful but so much work!
Thank u for up date Jon peter
Wow😮 thank you so much sir💚
great video - I'm looking for a simple way to make shadow boxes, that would have glass in them, hoping to adjust this to do that.
Good stuff Jon! 👍👊
Thanks very nice method to teach
Nice Work Thanks
AWESOME. Thank you again.
Thank you!! if like to get someone local to make frames for my art. how much is a fair price for a 8inch x 8inch floating frame?
