This is perfect workflow! I have workshop full of tools - clampses, meters, knifes, chisels, three work desks, heavy clamps, a chest of drawers for a nails, saws, hammers, screwdrivers, elecktric saw, drillers and many, many other tools - but i started with almost nothing. And this is workflow for people I used to be. DIY videos where carpenter has fully equipped workshop for professionals is not for beginers. Thank you, sir, i am going to try your method.
Yes, it's a method for people who don't want to (or can) spend a lot of money for tools. But what you don't pay with cash you pay with time instead - because it takes a while to build a frame using this method. I reckon you're much more efficient with your tools. Cheers
I know the rule is "measure twice, cut once," but my experience is measure twice and hope for the best while cutting until you get it right, lol. This was the most useful guide for me when you showed where to mark and how to cut. Thank you!
Thank you so much for an amazing video! Will soon try this myself! What's best for me - no huge machine saws! And really loved the idea of fist step glueing bigger details ad then cutting them🔥Great for newbies like myself!
This is wonderful 😊 i am curious if you have refined the process since making this video. Either way your results here are great 👍 i am absolutely going to try this. Thanks
Excellent video. Re. supplies required, you have "isolation" tape on your list. I am aware that there is such a thing, used for accoustic reduction in structures, but do you mean "insulation" tape? Mistake in translation perhaps, or does "isolation" tape have a property that is especially helpful in photoframe construction?
Thanks! I guess that's a translation mistake then. Maybe it's called duct tape? The main properties are a certain elasticity and that it sticks well to the wood, so there is enough tension to glue the corners together.
@@22jo222 Not sure - isn't masking tape used to cover stuff before painting, the one I used to fix the MDF back plate to the frame? If so, this is not strong and elastic enough to glue the frame together. Meanwhile I'm pretty sure it's called electrical tape.
Neither can I - at least not all 4 corners. But I'm satisfied with getting close. If imperfect 45s catch the eye, the image might not be worth framing :)
I don't like putting glass in front of beautiful textured fine art paper. Of course the spray can't replace the glass in terms of protection, but it helps and allows the dust to be removed safely.
Gute Arbeit ! Tip zur Erleichterung beim Zusammenbau: Für die Gehrungen (Ecken) gibt es auch spezielle Schraubzwingen. Ist dann nicht so ein Gefummel wie mit dem Tape und garantiert rechtwinkelig. Und ich würde zum fixieren kein Malerkrepp nehmen. Das wird mit der Zeit porös und klebt dann nicht mehr. Ich würde die MDF Platten eher mit dünnen, waagerecht und nur teilweise in die Rahmenleiste eingeschlagenen Nägeln fixieren, sodaß sie die MDF Platte festklemmen.
Danke für den Tip. Ich hatte im Baumarkt auch schon ein Spannband mit Eckschablonen in den Fingern, war mir dann aber doch zu teuer. Beim dritten Rahmen gings dann ganz fix mit dem Tape :) Für die Fixierung der Rückplatte hatte ich auch noch Stahlreiber (Drehfedern) und Leinwandhalter bestellt, die dann in den Rahmen geschraubt würden. Das Ziel war aber, die Sache so zu machen, dass die Bilder möglichst einfach zu wechseln sind. Schrauben und vor allem Nägel waren mir dann doch zu "permanent" - deshalb das Malerkrepp. Aber danke für die Warnung, ich werde hin und wieder nachschauen, obs noch hält. Oder gäbe es ein geeigneteres Tape?
Gut zum kleben eignet sich sog. Naßklebeband (gummierte Papierstreifen auf der Rolle). Damit geklebte Bilder halten bei mir schon Dekaden ohne Ablösung im Rahmen.
@thomasrhinow Obsessive Compulsion Disorder. I get frustrated with things not being symmetrical or disordered. It's not a problem for me, but my dear wife would probably have a different opinion!
Thanks for your reply. Now I understand :) it might shock you, but I deliberately hung these prints asymmetrically over the bed, or rather aligned them with the bedside table, because I didn't want them to protrude over the furniture and all three over the bed would have resulted in unsightly small gaps between the frames.
It's "Hahnemühle Protective Spray". I don't like to put glass in front of such beautifully textured fine art papers and use the spray as a little protection layer.
No problem. There was just a similar question and I'm not sure how this tape is called in English. But after some research I think it's electrical tape.
Thank you! Since I don't like putting glass in front of such beautiful fine art paper, I use the "Hahnemühle Protective Spray" for a layer of UV and fingerprint protection that does not impair the viewing experience in the slightest. Cheers
No, I don't like to put glass in front of such beautiful textured fine art papers. That's why I'm using the spray to give at least a little bit of protection.
Was sind das denn für Wände, in die man so einfach einen Stahlnagel einschlagen kann ?! Bei meinen Wänden brechen entweder die Stahlnägel ab oder wenn ich dann bohren will, hab ich hinterher ein riesiges Loch ! 😂 Trotz des Neids : Ein dickes Lob für die schöne Arbeit !
Danke für das Lob! Genau weiss ich es nicht, aber ich tippe mal auf Gipswände. Es hält (hier) auf jeden Fall - hatte es auch schon oft genug mit störrischen Wänden zu tun :) Gruss
brilliant, thank you so much, i have a lot of awards, documents and certificates my father was awarded in his naval service over 20 years, ie, 5 good conduct certificates, 5 reinlistment, 5 of this 5 of that, overseas naval services, vietnam, korea, and 3 large ones like retirement document is larger , and only 1, then a couple smaller ones , i have his hats , 3, one beige, one white and his seamans cap in an enclosure , chest medals and ribbons he was buried with but i have a second and third set of those for my own shadowbox and my sisters shadowboxes i made for their own naval father displays in their own homes, it is me who has all dads certificates and all are not the same frame, i might just do this and replace a few cheap plastic ones i bought over the years, thank you sir, watching , one might think yours a simple task, it is not , you just make it look easy , good job
The tricky parts are getting the miters exactly right and then gluing the individual frame parts together. Else it actually is quite easy, but time consuming. I hope you manage to give the documents and certificates the frames they deserve. Thank you!
No machines, no voiceover, no music but still excellent instruction. This is pretty much the perfect video of this type. Thanks!
Oh, A little bit of music, but I'll allow it 😂
Glad you liked it! Hope it helps!
Some times I cry for joy when there’s no voice over for some DIY videos.
Well worth the hard work Thomas they look amazing.
Thank you Mr Freeman :)
Absolutely fabulous, great work.
Thank you!

Thank you for not talking but showing!
Your welcome 🙂
That miter saw is amazing! Such clean, accurate corners. Well done,sir.
Thanks!

Glad to hear the video was helpful! Maybe start with a A4 frame first, it's easier to glue together. Good luck, I hope you succeed!
WHAT A GREAT INSTRUCTION WITHOUT TALKING SINGLE WORD! THANK YOU!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Nice work Thomas!
From start to finish!
Hi Miro. Many thanks!
How is your photography life doing?
Cheers
Exactly what I have being looking for ❤❤❤
Nice to hear! Happy frame building!
Very very nice job here.
Thank you very much!
Schön gmacht!
Danke!
This is amazing 👍💯💯
Thank you!
Great inspiration, thanks 👍👍👍.
My pleasure!
Great job!
Thanks!
This is a great video. But I don’t understand the emphasis on the +4mm in the video. Did I miss something? Thanks!
Thank you.
Adding 4mm is to give a bit of breathing space (2mm each side) for the print and the backplate.
@ thanks! Appreciate the reply!
Great work Thomas. Thnx.
Cheers :)
There are corner clamps that can hold your corners together square.
This is wonderful 😊 i am curious if you have refined the process since making this video. Either way your results here are great 👍 i am absolutely going to try this. Thanks
Thank you very much!
No refinement so far other than avoiding cutting mistakes :) The process works fine. The key is precise 45 degree miter cuts.
@thomasrhinow wonderful 😊 thanks again 👍
excellent finally a no electric tools guide
That was my thinking. I doubt the average person owns a workshop equipped with all kinds of machines.
Smart!
Thanks
Excellent video.

I did some research and I think it's called electrical tape, which is more elastic than duct tape.
@thomasrhinow it looked like you were using what’s known as ‘masking tape’ in UK English.
@@22jo222 Not sure - isn't masking tape used to cover stuff before painting, the one I used to fix the MDF back plate to the frame? If so, this is not strong and elastic enough to glue the frame together. Meanwhile I'm pretty sure it's called electrical tape.
@ Ah ok, thanks for the clarification.
No power tools, but, yes, _machines._ Simple machines. But, machines nonetheless.
Thanks
Welcome
Excellent job! I can never get perfect 45s with machine, nor by hand.
Neither can I - at least not all 4 corners. But I'm satisfied with getting close. If imperfect 45s catch the eye, the image might not be worth framing :)
Great job sir!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
very well done ...thank you 👍

I draw the angle on the wood then cut. That way no mistakes
Thanks for the hint!
Great job! But I'm afraid that I would give in to my OCD and have them centred them over the bed or move the bed.
Thanks. What is a OCD?
@thomasrhinow Obsessive Compulsion Disorder. I get frustrated with things not being symmetrical or disordered.
It's not a problem for me, but my dear wife would probably have a different opinion!

Really wanted to know what spray did you use on that print before framing and it's purpose.
It's "Hahnemühle Protective Spray". I don't like to put glass in front of such beautifully textured fine art papers and use the spray as a little protection layer.
Hey! Sorry to ask, but what is that elastic tape that you put on the corners to hold the frame while drying?
No problem. There was just a similar question and I'm not sure how this tape is called in English. But after some research I think it's electrical tape.
Nice.
Just amazing!!! I only have one question, what spray do you use on the print? Is it setting spray?
So happy to have discovered your channel btw

Good morning sir frame cutting machine what prices
If you mean the miter saw I used, check your local diy-store. A simple wooden miter-box should do the trick too.
Your wall paint colour code
I’m surprised you didn’t measure the diagonals to check that the frame was square
Thanks for the hint! I might measure to make sure, but as long as the miters are cut exactly, the frames have always been square so far.
He's cutting at 45° at each corner. 45+45=90. As long as the angle is correct, it has to be square.
EPSON SC-P800, goof printer
Exactly.
good, but you did not show how to ensure frame is square. An important step.
With precisely cut miters, the frame becomes square by itself when glued together.
So you are basically saying go buy one already made
If you have no joy in diy, then yes.
be surprised as always
why surprised?
No voice ? Are supposed to be mind readers ?
