Great work on building the frame, clean, simple with the right amount of detail. Really like the corner joints. As a former picture framer I would suggest that you use a thin acid free paper spacer between the plexi and the poster and replace the cardboard backer with a piece of foamcore as both will protect the poster from any acid in the wood and cardboard and also keep the poster from sticking to the plexi. Just hate to see a poster like that turn brown over the years.
I like the new theme and intro. The things in it are some of your coolest protects and things that represent you. And the new theme is more bassy but smooth at the same time
I’ll admit it Bob.. more than once now has it happened that I scrolled past one of your videos because the project sounded boring to me but then later when I went back to check those videos out I was always surprised at how interesting and informative they actually were. Keep it up. Youre one of my all time favourite channels on TH-cam.
I really love watching you work on wood. The things you make from it always look very nice and seeing everything come together neatly is a huge joy. Thanks for that, Bob.
I saw the dark glue and the older glue bottle and thought, is that his granddad’s glue??? 10 seconds later you explained it! I also like how the walnut has colors that match some of the artwork!! 👍
I have a ton of frames I need to make this spring. Will try your half-lap miters! That poster is nice. Get a nice piece of glass. Thin poly will warp over time.
Love it! Man, that walnut is beautiful wood!!! I appreciate the simplicity of a picture frame and the technique you demonstrated. As always, nice work, Bob.
Hey Bob, you should get a piece of UV protected glass. I used to work at a custom framing shop. Makes a big difference in the look and if you go to hobby lobby they can heat/flatten the work/poster for you. Then cut a piece of foam core backing.
Very nice result, I love watching your videos you have a knack for explaining how to do projects. One of my favorite youtubers. Keep up the great channel!
I loved seeing your process of figuring out the different profiles, including the fails. Picture frames can be tricky and I feel like every time I make one, I reinvent the wheel. Those half lap miter joints are awesome! I'm going to try that next time.
You could also use the 3M version of the picture frame hanging kit which includes a sawtooth hanger and the 3M mount with the removable strip as well. We have those and they are great.
Usually, the machines you use brings me the feeling that i won't do the same at home, but here, i really want to make my own frames now, and the result is simple and beautiful, thank you for your work ! PS : I'm french so my english isn't very well sorry for that
Ive seen izzy and other people do that crazy cove cut too. The table saw scare me enough as is haha. Its amazing how people have adapted these tools to do wayyyy more that I ever thought they could do.
I am a painter and I am trying to make some elaborate frames. I did Jon Peters fancy frame but because I don't have a biscuit joiner I did another variation which messed up my French cleat. This corner joint is brilliant and I am going to try it. You explained things clearly as usual and I like how you show your fails as well as your successes. Thanks
I don't know which I like better. The frame, or the sweet poster inside it :). Great project, Bob. Love how you experimented with new-to-you techniques, and the shout out to Toth for more info. Gotta love this maker community of ours!
Bob that half lapped mitre is such a great idea. I have a huge poster I want to build a frame for out of oak but because of it's size and therefore the weight of the frame, simple mitre's wouldn't be strong enough and it would be too big to easily cut splines. the joint looks beautiful and will be so much stronger. Thanks again for all your work. You are incredibly inspiring.
Thanks for this video! I made my wife a frame for a Harry Potter puzzle we like. I don't have a router and didn't want to drop the boards onto my table saw so I have those little notches on the top and bottom. Not too noticeable when the frame is on the wall. I'm pretty happy with the results from my Dewalt worksite tablesaw. I think I will need to build some sleds for it because the mitre gauge is kinda cheap.
I recently did a much larger walnut frame for an oil painting. Really wish I used the half lap you used here. Would love to see how you would set a deeper picture. Normal canvas is around 1/2 inch to 1 inch deep, so a simple rabbit bit in a router isn't always going to do what you need.
That looks fantastic! I love the half lap miters. You might want to consider mounting the poster to a backer board with spray adhesive, to stop it from saying down and wrinkling.
Hey Bob good stuff! I like how you are creating great content every week. Everytime I come to your channel I see new stuff and I am one of your very old followers. Keep it up!
The frame looks awesome. I've been struggling with joinery since you mentioned it in the podcast. Seeing it now, it totally makes sense and looks really strong. Thanks for that tip. I have a bunch of frames to make for the wife and this will certainly help!!
Great video. Those stick on strips work great though I recently had a problem of one coming undone due to expanding by the heat from my central air system.
Hey Bob, really like your projects and the content you keep dropping! Great step-by-steps and design ideas definitely keep the ideas coming. Thanks for sharing the experience with us!
Also, use a dado setup and it makes the blade so you don't get blade flex when you make a cove cut.. You take a slightly larger bit. You can also buy a pre-made specific adjustable jig for it.
Thanks for this walkthrough! I wasn’t sure whether or not I should buy a custom frame for my uncut sheets of playing cards but now that you’ve shown me a way of making a strong frame myself I’m definitely making my own
Beautiful frame and I love the movie poster Bob! I was a custom picture framer for over 15 years and with that being said, I feel the need to point out a few things. 1. The acrylic used is way too thin and will warp over time. Also, it doesn't provide any UV protection. 2. The cardboard used for backing is highly acidic and will discolor your artwork within weeks. At very least, take a trip to your local frame shop or Michaels and get a piece of acid free foamcore.
The frame is a beauty. I can see my Bladerunner poster needs a high class frame like the one you made. Good decision on skipping the cove cut. I like the shallow angle cuts. Thanks for doing this video. And Dude, get a stud finder and put a hole in the wall anywhere and anytime you need it. It is no biggie to patch, if needed.
You always manage to take "boring" projects and make them interesting and teach me something new! Thanks!
That's really awesome to hear, thanks!!
When I was young I watched The New Yankee Workshop on TV. Now I watch ILTMS. Just love it. 👍

Another great project and really smart move on the half-lapped miters. They're a pain, but you never have to worry about them coming apart.
Poster and frame complement each other perfectly. Awesome
Thanks Peter!

That's very kind Elias, thank you!
The Force is Trong with this Frame. It is impressive....Most Impressive.
I really love watching you work on wood. The things you make from it always look very nice and seeing everything come together neatly is a huge joy. Thanks for that, Bob.
You were right...the blue looks great with the walnut! Great job! I was not familiar with that joint, but looks interesting.
love how this came out and adding the halflap miter joints was a great idea! looks awesome
Thanks Drew!
Nice, looks so much better than the plastic frame. That poster looks awesome and truly deserving of a good frame like that.
First time I’d ever seen the mitred half-lap. Great idea! Thanks, Bob.
Bob, I just wanted to tell you that I really like a channel. Thank you very much for your efforts!
Thanks so much Eduard!
Looks great Bob! The walnut is perfect for that poster.
I saw the dark glue and the older glue bottle and thought, is that his granddad’s glue??? 10 seconds later you explained it! I also like how the walnut has colors that match some of the artwork!! 👍
Love the half lap miter corners. Will have to give them a try.
I have a ton of frames I need to make this spring. Will try your half-lap miters!
That poster is nice. Get a nice piece of glass. Thin poly will warp over time.
Love it! Man, that walnut is beautiful wood!!! I appreciate the
simplicity of a picture frame and the technique you demonstrated. As always, nice work, Bob.
Thanks Jim!
I really love the new Intro, great job Bob.
I love the "I Approve" nod at 9:32
Hey Bob, you should get a piece of UV protected glass.
I used to work at a custom framing shop. Makes a big difference in the look and if you go to hobby lobby they can heat/flatten the work/poster for you. Then cut a piece of foam core backing.
Bob, thank you for inspiring me to try new things!
Building stuff AND Star Wars? What a great video!
Nice frame... I love the half-lap joinery and the wood is a great contrast to the blue in the poster. Great job!!!
Bob strikes back - with a cool frame video where you learn new techniques.
Master of None I laughed way to hard at this lol
Very nice result, I love watching your videos you have a knack for explaining how to do projects. One of my favorite youtubers. Keep up the great channel!
rich lampman hands down one of the best narrators out there
I loved seeing your process of figuring out the different profiles, including the fails. Picture frames can be tricky and I feel like every time I make one, I reinvent the wheel. Those half lap miter joints are awesome! I'm going to try that next time.
That is a nice looking frame worthy of the best Star Wars movie ever made.
Awesome frame Bob.
I like your half-lap technique.
You could also use the 3M version of the picture frame hanging kit which includes a sawtooth hanger and the 3M mount with the removable strip as well. We have those and they are great.
This was shared at the perfect time. I am working on a frame my self.
Excellent! I hope it's helpful!
That came out smooth Bob. Nice Job!!

Oh un français ici, nan franchement ça va ton anglais passe largement x)
Oh un 2ème français ici ahah dac merci ;-)
BLO is my favorite on walnut. Beautiful frame. Thank you for sharing.
Ive seen izzy and other people do that crazy cove cut too. The table saw scare me enough as is haha. Its amazing how people have adapted these tools to do wayyyy more that I ever thought they could do.
I know nothing about construction or woodwork but your videos are just so interesting to watch and learn from!
Please make more! :D
Beautifully done! Thank you for taking your time to show this.

Very nice, Bob! You did a great job describing it in the podcast.
Thanks! It's a tough thing to explain :)
That design looks beautiful, I bet it would look awesome with a painting as well.
I think it looks killer! Empire is the best!!!
Thanks man!!
I like the bloopers at the end
Framed turned out great Bob! Digging the Star Trek poster!
Oh you... ;)

Nice job Bob, the walnut really complements the poster. 👍🏻
Thanks Richard!
Definitely going to use mitered half-laps for a series of frames I’ve got coming up!

Yes Kyle Toth is amazing!
I love you Bob your videos are very good and inspiring
That looks fantastic! I love the half lap miters. You might want to consider mounting the poster to a backer board with spray adhesive, to stop it from saying down and wrinkling.
WOW!! that looks great!! keep up the awesome work
I just did something similar. I had the same issue with the plexi slipping under the fence. You can score and snap the super thin plexi.
That's almost the first time that I see you using the diagonal side of your speed square.
Very well done, Bob.
Thanks Bill!
Love the color of wood you chose. Really nice frame.
Thanks!
Finish came out great, and that poster deserves nothing less than walnut! (arbitrary value judgement on walnut, I know, but you get the idea)
Hey Bob good stuff! I like how you are creating great content every week. Everytime I come to your channel I see new stuff and I am one of your very old followers. Keep it up!
Awesome, thanks for sticking around!
Awesome!!! Would you considet making a live edge river table? Pleeeeeeeease! I think you would nail it
The frame looks awesome. I've been struggling with joinery since you mentioned it in the podcast. Seeing it now, it totally makes sense and looks really strong. Thanks for that tip. I have a bunch of frames to make for the wife and this will certainly help!!
Awesome Frame. Guess I will make one this weekend.
I loved the 45 half lap.. much stronger then a standard 45 joint. thanks!
Great video. Those stick on strips work great though I recently had a problem of one coming undone due to expanding by the heat from my central air system.
Thank you for doing this video ever since you made the metal frame a while ago.
Nice job on the 45 degree half lap.
Great job Bob!
Gluing up these corners was really straight forward ;)
Hey Bob, really like your projects and the content you keep dropping! Great step-by-steps and design ideas definitely keep the ideas coming. Thanks for sharing the experience with us!
Thanks so much!
Great job, love the mitered half laps
Thanks Brad!
Thanks for the video. Love those joints...very strong. I'll be using them for my next frame.
Looks awesome Bob!
I like those mitres, and they are totally something I can do on my RAS.
I need to make a few frames, and really like the joins you used!
I really need to make frames. Been holding off due to the need for spline jigs etc, but this is a great option.
We all say this everyday. I really need to make frames. And our spouses keep reminding us too.
Great project Bob!
Frame looks really nice!!
Thanks!
That frame is really nice!
I love walnut so much.
That came out great. The joint is really cool and i assume it eliminates the need for splines.
Absolutely! It was something new for me, but I'm really pleased with it!
Nice work on the joinery Bob! 👊 The frame looks awesome! 👍
Thanks Fred!
Absolutely beautiful. Great job!
Thanks so much!
This was weird, I was working a making a frame and saw that Bob was making one! This is an awesome frame dude.
Can't beat the beauty of walnut for a frame like that. Looks great Bob! I haven't tried the table saw cove thing yet, but it does look awkward.
Thanks Steve! Yeah, it feels totally weird to cut.
Also, use a dado setup and it makes the blade so you don't get blade flex when you make a cove cut.. You take a slightly larger bit. You can also buy a pre-made specific adjustable jig for it.
Thanks for this walkthrough! I wasn’t sure whether or not I should buy a custom frame for my uncut sheets of playing cards but now that you’ve shown me a way of making a strong frame myself I’m definitely making my own
Nice frame bob! Keep up the good work
Damn that was a lot of work, turned out great
I really need to work on my miters , great looking frame
Hey Bob there is new CNC behind you. Hope to see video about that soon. Although really nice project, definitely give it a shot.
Beautiful frame and I love the movie poster Bob!
I was a custom picture framer for over 15 years and with that being said, I feel the need to point out a few things.
1. The acrylic used is way too thin and will warp over time. Also, it doesn't provide any UV protection.
2. The cardboard used for backing is highly acidic and will discolor your artwork within weeks.
At very least, take a trip to your local frame shop or Michaels and get a piece of acid free foamcore.
I made one for my "A new hope" repro poster. I used pallet wood instead.
Love the half lap joints although tie fighter bow ties in the corners would have been awesome.
i have been wondering how to make a picture frame. Thank you so much Bob!
The joinery made that super strong.
That looks incredible!
Definitely - he has a very professional finish with his products doesn't he?
yes! Like a Pro!
I wish I had a shop like Bob's!
I know right? Makes me wonder how long it took him to get such a solid shop!
The frame is a beauty. I can see my Bladerunner poster needs a high class frame like the one you made. Good decision on skipping the cove cut. I like the shallow angle cuts. Thanks for doing this video. And Dude, get a stud finder and put a hole in the wall anywhere and anytime you need it. It is no biggie to patch, if needed.
I LOVE the new intro!
Love the table saw push stick.
