Chet Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Submitted on the old forum by Kev I didn't video this project and picture frames just don't do well on YouTube. Regardless, I thought these turned out pretty good and I wanted to show them off! Here's a few with pictures in them.. Follow up posts 1) Dang!!! Those did! Did you just rabbit out the back inner side? 2) Yes, there's a rabbet on the back side. The insides have a cherry strip with a chamfer on it. By the time the rabbet and chamfer was cut, the cherry ended up being a very small detail but, a detail nonetheless. I'll also say that the miter sled that I made for doing picture frames made these really painless! 3) Great job, Kev! Man! I really need to make me a miter sled. I have several router bits that I bought years ago to make molding that have never been used. I also have a molding machine that could make great looking molding with the right knives. I just need to make myself build a miter sled so I can get very accurate cuts. Again - great job! 4) Thanks! I'm super happy with that sled and just can't imagine doing frames without it. To do 6 frames that quickly without fussing with the corners really takes a lot of stress out of the build! 5) Really nice Kev! Not blowing smoke but, I’ve used your miter sled on three occasions so far and am sold on it. You might want to post another link to it for Keggers and others. Did you Domino the corners on these as I don’t see any splines? 6) No domino, they have splines.. Cherry to match the small inner section. Digging deep in the archives here for that video...lol Also, there's a free set of plans on my website and, of course, I'm always here to answer questions. 7) Very nicely done! That cherry accent makes them pop!

Coop Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 To bring new life to an old thread. A good friend and ex-employee is an amateur photographer and has been asked to show some of his prints at a local gallery. He asked me to make him some simple frames from 5/4 walnut. There is one ea. 45”x33”, 8 ea. 25”x19” and four ea. 38”x28” frames. When you posted this video, I followed your instructions and have used the sled many times. Well now, it has become invaluable on this project. Due to the lengths of the pieces, I had to remove the adjustable stop blocks and improvise by adding longer ones. The 90* angles are spot on! Just wanted to say thanks! Coop p.s. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking when I agreed to take on this project! 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just made a jig that attaches to the top t-track to extend out as far as I need it.. Looking forward to seeing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Kev, I failed to give you credit on another idea of yours. I have been using a clipboard on my projects and it hangs in a dedicated place and sure is handy keeping all relevant notes and drawings in one place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Looking great Coop! I’m jealous of that green grass since we just got 3” of snow yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass won’t be green long if we don’t get rain soon. It’s been almost 3 weeks now and the temps have been in the mid 80’s here lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
