Thread: Build a classy picture frame!

  1. #1

    Build a classy picture frame!

    I filmed the build on my YouTube Channel. Please check it out! http://youtu.be/5zscvb5stwc


    I was commissioned to build this frame and thought I would take you guys along for the ride.


    The build consists of poplar stock, glass, black vinyl decals, glue


    Primary construction method was domino reinforced miters. The glass was held in with a rabbit.


    If you have any more comments, questions or suggestions please leave them here or on YouTube.

    I don't see the picture frame? Is this like that dress that changes color? I see a pretty cool light box, no picture frame.

    Good, I can cancel the ambulance! Thank you. The picture frame is as cool as the light box. Headed to check out the video. I was afraid to click on it first time, thought it maybe some sort of sorcery trick.

    Just watched the video. Nice looking project. I don't mean to be critical, but you will find when you are scoring glass it is never a good idea to go back over the score line a second time. It makes for a rougher cut, can damage your cutter and makes it harder to break out the score. Just one pass after dipping the cutter in the cutting oil of your choice using about 7 pounds of pressure makes for the cleanest scores and breaks.
