Popular Post heppnerguy Posted January 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I had an order for a John Wayne from my granddaughter for her new found dad. After I had it cut and ready to mail off, I got looking at it and decided I would also like one for my wall. So I cut one just for me and since I am trying to learn to make frames, I decided to go ahead and give it another try for my John Wayne. So here is my shot at both of them. I know I need to keep practicing those frames but who knows, maybe, just maybe I will figure those darn things out Dick heppnerguy Charlie E, stoney, ChelCass and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Ya, I don't find frame making fun. Mainly because they are hard to clamp. I have made a couple jigs that help, but it is still not fun. You did good Dick. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Nice cutting Dick and your frame looks fine. @new2woodwrk posted a blog post on how he made his frames a while back which you might find useful.

lawson56 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Down right Awesome on both!! I never was very good at those type of frames,so I started making the one piece type,since I cut everything out of 1/4 thickness. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 The portrait looks good and it looks like you have mastered the art of frame making. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Great job! Myself I just don't get making frames. It is my achilles heel sigh. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Monk Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Looks great Dick. Are you trying to make you frames on your miter saw or table saw? heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky, I have a very long way to go with making frames but thanks for the supportive bit of encouragement here. I will continue to make an effort at it though and who knows, one of these days I may be able to agree with your statement about me making frames.....no, probably not, but I should get better at it with practice. We all know, as scrollers, how that works Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frames have be rather baffled also but like scrolling, the more one tries something and hopefully learns from mistakes, the sooner one accomplishes their goal.

Are you trying to make you frames on your miter saw or table saw? Dave, I am trying it on my miter saw, The table saw I have is rather old and not easy to make accurate cuts. I have discovered that any width variances, ever very slight, effects that outcome of the end results in a frame, as well as the exact width matchings on the top, bottom and both sides of the frame.
