Is it just Pine wood?

شكراً جزيلاً

This is insane. I’ve been going to Michael’s and hobby lobby all this time. Home Depot and Lowe’s literally has all the equipment I need. Paint, brushes, canvas, frames 😂 huge money saver right here.

Nice video! When I was in art school, the wood shop instructor showed me a similar method : Rip a 2x4” to get 2 - 2”x2” s (8’ long) (A bit cheaper this way) Then adjust your table saw to a 60 - 75 degree angle and rip them giving 2 beveled edge pieces. This works for smaller frames but if you want thicker pieces for larger frames - just skip step 1! Thanks for the video!

Wow! I agree with everything in your video; however, just a few pointers. Add glue to each joint before screwing the joints together, reinforce each corner with diagonal braces for warping or wood shifting. Always, use 100% cotton based fabric. Spraying water on the back of the canvas shall tighten every canvas (even if painted or not). Now, go paint to your hearts designed!!! Great simple video...

This is awesome but I wish you explained the sanding part a little more

Dang, you can seriously save money doing it this way, especially the painters' floor (drop) canvas. I'll be thinking that in the future lol. Thankfully I work at a company that use wood (wood sheds) and I can get bad wood free! Even sidings to make picture frames with (well, not fancy ones though unless I have some specific shaping tools)

2:26 where can I get this exact table thingy thnx

I do this, my wife says I could be mistaken for Scrooge. After I stretch the canvass I spray it and allow it to dry encouraging it to stretch up tight.

what do you use to hold the wood when you're using the planar to bevel?

you did a really fantastic job with that

2024 I came here . Nice thanks . I just need start up money 😢😢

awesome video man!

You can save a hundred dollars by buyinh a thousand dollars of power tools

I just finished building and painting 4 3ft X 12ft canvases. I was taught in college how to do it but today materials have gotten so expensive that I can’t imagine what art students have to do to afford school materials now. I ended up buying a 15 X 16 ft dropcloth on Amazon for about 30.00 and covered all 4 frames and still have enough canvas for some smaller paintings. Drop cloths seem to run about a 7 or 8 pound weight, some people like heavier. Of course I had to add crossbars to mine because they were so long. I just found your channel and don’t yet know if you covered that anywhere.

Thank you 💗

Good job man...

Thanks was very helpful

Love finding these legit canvas building DIYs as I’ve found RUclips has a lot of off-the-shelf bars 🤮 a teacher taught me long ago to buy moulding for the beveled edge. Thank you for this refresher!

Such a valuable video, thx for creating it!

I am new to this canvas stretching business. Great info. thanks

Extremely helpful

At my work, they always have old wood crates they use for shipping that they throw away. Anyone (even the public) is free to take the wood pallets and crates, so I take the best-looking ones and on my own time after work tear them apart. Once I have loose wood, I put them in my car, and drive home where I use a table saw, miter saw, and a rounding bit and stand to cut the wood creating the bevel for the canvas. Finally, I stretch out and secure the canvas, and volla. What's nice is the wood is free, so it saves on pricing. And I can make literally ANY size frame I want for effectively the initial investment in tools, canvas from art stores (always on sale), and my time.

Waoh, What a Great Talent to have, I guess... But... Do you mind having a brief Discussion with you?

Nice, top notch

Pure talent.

When it comes to the drop cloth, did you iron it or anything to remove the fold lines?

Man sure love the way you do the corners. Had to slow playback to .25 but got it.

Fantastic work ! It was very interesting hearing your story :) Best wishes :)

Sir, you did a phenomenal job, please do a video on how would you frame canvas paintings. Framing canvas cost so much especially if they are large. Your expertise and all the details on how you save money is so important especially these days.

Fold the corners in bruh! C'mon!! *forehead slap*

You rock 🙌🙌🙌🙌

THIS WAS/ IS a the video I NEEDED! Now I am confident I can build tomorrow!

Excellent video! Exactly what I was looking for! Any chance you can jot down a list of all the supplies you’ve used in this video? Like the screws, canvas cloth, straight edge etc. I’m planning to make a trip to Home Depot - having that list handy would be a huge help!

seems so easy but its not

Very helpful thank you

This is the video I needed to see. Thank you

I know that I would mess this up. And don't really have access to the tools that I need... I wish somebody would make a really huge canvas for me. And then I would pay them for it

😳👌😊

Thanks you make it so easy ❤

I tried doing exactly what you were demonstrating with increasingly flawed results. No matter what I did, I just could not get it to look right. After studying the video more closely, I realized I forgot my sweet, sweet work Crocs. After rocking those bad boys, all of my canvases are turning out stellar. Thanks for the video.

Very nice bro.

You went thru the process so quickly I wasn’t sure if it was the outer or inner edge that you rounded over. This video was perfect timing as just today I was pricing some large canvases and it would cost way too much to have finished canvases in inventory. I just happen to have a bunch of 2x2s.

Thank you!

These stretcher bars in the video are a bastardized version of the ''Kansas City stretcher bars." (Created at the Kansas City Art Institute by artists over 100 years ago - Jackson Pollock's professor, Thomas Hart Benton). Except the actual KC stretcher bars are a lot easier and less expensive to create. You also need to cut outar knots in the bars because they will twist and warp, and the wood needs to dry out for about a year before you stretch. The list pricing from an art store is used to figure overhead/material costs when pricing your art work for sale. (or contracting) It's about the same cost when you figure in the prices of the cabinet saw, and mitering clamps it takes to "roll your own."

Hard canvas is a pain to paint detail.Buy a proper canvas guys.

Absolutely phenomenal, thank you so much

What is Gesso?? 😮

lol PRE HYPER-INFLATION PRICES, THANK YOU, BIDEN AND WALL STREET CROOKS AND COVID!

I just want to thank you for your tutorial. I was suppose to order a photo printed on canvas for my friend for their wedding online that cost about $130 plus tax... but it will not make it on time (If I pushed it to a rush order it's at $250... so I have to made my own by having the photo printed on canvas (by going to office depot, they finished the print job in less than 24 hours) and I used your tutorials to set up the frame. There was a lot of trials and errors because I was not the best at doing this arts and crafts stuff, but I found the mitre box forgiving and I was able to make the photo canvas on time for the wedding. It also saved me some money on materials and shipping as well that I made two canvases and I improved each time I made one. Thank you once more for teaching me this skill.
