A photographer friend taught me a "frame mounting" trick many years ago that most folks probably know, but I thought I would share in case some didn't. Fletcher Terry Company makes a number of "mounting products" but one I have found very useful is the point driver. I think there are alternative sources now. It is a very single-purpose tool but quite good at what it does, which is driving a point a fixed depth at a right angle to the surface being attached. The saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words" applies here. The only issue is that when needed I am challenged to remember where either the driver or spare points are located.
These frames were joined using the Hoffman dovetail machine which I typically use for face frames but works nicely for this purpose as well (as long as the frames are of appropriate dimension).
