Framing a Painting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- I have made a frame for artwork that our friend, Irene Henjum, painted. I used reclaimed pine paneling to make the frame. I made a wide face that surrounds the painting. I mitered the edge of this and attached a thinner piece of the same pine wood that takes up the thickness of the painting. With these two pieces mitered together it gives a look of a much larger, thicker piece of wood wrapping the painting as a frame. As I had a lot of room on the back side of the frame, I attached triangles in the corners to hold the miter of the frame together and to the top of these triangles, I added some tabs that spring from the corners of the frame towards the center and hold the corners of the painting. This allows the painting to float in the frame without any noticeable connection.

Frank, that looks awesome! I am honored to have my painting featured in your video!
It's a lovely piece Irene, glad to see it displayed with such care. You should be proud :)
That fade in from black at the beginning has been a real nice intro to the videos. A gentle "Hello."
You my friend are such a joy to watch.
That's a very nice painting. And a very appropriate frame for it
I like the "floating" aspect. It's subtle, but makes an impact.
Finally Frank makes something that makes me think: Hey, I can build this, too!
Nice! This give me an idea for a frame that would have more than one painting of the same size. That would be a nice addition to my hallway
The frame really complements that painting 👍 nice work as always Frank
Perfect! What a complement to the painting! It is simple and beautiful all on its own but, doesn't distract from the painting itself! Bravo, Frank!
Hi Mike great video
Not going lie haven't watched in a few years but just fount and rewatcjed your maple blanks video can't believe that was 9 years ago now
Great to see your still grinding and still pumping out great videos
A beautiful frame for a beautiful picture. Very nice.
Perfect! Beautiful...painting and frame!
Great looking frame sir. You are right it’s always about the painting when it comes to frames. This frame made the painting even better
Yes, it provides a thick buffer with the outside world so that, against a noisy brick backgound, the painting is still sitting alone in a sea of well-crafted but neutral material. So when your eye is over the painting, it has emphasis on the painting itself rather than emphasis on the frame or on the background.
Hi Frank, you've got a good eye; it's spot on. Best wishes, John
First, I love the painting. Kudos to your friend. It's beautiful.
Second, the frame is excellent. I like the idea of a thin frame as a way to emphasize the painting but this goes against that and sort of resets the viewers eyes with respect to the background.
I love that painting! Your friend is talented!
That turned out great Frank
A nice look, especially with the brick background.
Beautiful painting and lovely frame!
That painting is gorgeous and the frame you made really compliments it.
My wife is an artist so I make frames pretty often for her paintings. I think you made the right call not "overpowering" painting with the frame. I use a stepped rabbet router bit and the paintings sit in one of the steps (inserted from the front of the frame) and it also gives that floating appearance without the need for shims. I know a lot of guys using playing cards or business cards as shims for these purposes. The frame looks great. So does the painting. Well done and thanks for posting
I love the colors she used...has a strong effect on me. I'm impressed by your engineering.
"It's ART Jerry. You wouldn't understand!"
incredible how you can take something so seemingly simple as making a rectangular picture frame and do it in such a way that it's really truly instructive. And of course, those terrific video enhancements such as the diagram over the video.....those as so cool. Thank you for posting this Frank.
Cool idea. If you made the gap between the frame and the painting larger you could use clear acrylic on the corner tabs and the painting would look like it was truly floating.
Ok i’ll have to admit the finished frame looks good.
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Beautiful painting......and frame!
Looks great! Nice job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The wood compliments the painting. Turned out fantastic.
Goodness...that's quite a bold painting; it really commands your attention. The wrap-around frame you made for it is lovely, and the floating feature is different, and really works with piece.
awesome job....love the way it floats in the frame...
That is a beautiful frame!
beautiful frame for a beautiful painting =)
Very cool. Not overstated at all
Beautiful piece! And a great frame!
Very nice painting, that really comes to life in this frame. You always find a way to make something special, even when building a frame. Esthetical and technical very well done.
Trying to up my video making game a bit and yours are always so nicely framed and composed with great lighting. Coupled with interesting and informative projects and you get great content! Thank you again...
I've seen others (and I've done it myself. I think I learned it from Bourbon Moth) use playing cards to center drawer faces in a face frame; same number of cards wedged into the gaps above, below, left and right. That might have been a good way to center your painting in the frame!
I use playing cards as shims in most all of my projects.
Beautiful
That worked well. Thanks for the idea.
I make my own frames for my paintings. I make slotted ones traditional ones or ones where the painting is on the front of the frame with molding over it and wooden pegs to keep it in place
Very elegant. Really complements the painting. Definitely want to try to make something similar for a couple of my own paintings.
Love your videos dude. Always fun to watch
Amazing work, Frank! I've never seen a frame like that! It's just brilliant! 😃
I have lots of paintings of mine which the frames are broken... I need to make new ones. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looks great, Frank.

"Pieces of the Frame" is an excellent book by John McPhee. Recommended reading!
I'm in my 60's and I've done work working stuff all my life from small objects to houses. I found Varathane (brand name) very early on. I think my Dad used it. I'm wondering right now how many gallons I've used. I've done floors with it and bench top things like coffee tables, end tables cabinets etc. I bought it by the gallon.
really cool design. very pretty.
Awesome Thanks for Sharing
Great job!
The first project in I don't know how long you didn't use you cnc.
Nice work.
That's quite the respirator you got. Frame turned out good
Nice Frame Good Job
Very nice, thank you. Cheers
Not too shabby.
Supposedly, plain corner bevel joints are even stronger than most other corner joints. It's surprising since iend grain to end grain is considered the weakest glue bond.
That's a really nice project Frank.
I almost thought you were going to cut the painting down to fit the frame 😉
Making the two tabs different thicknesses. This is where I would have screwed it up dozens if not hundreds of times because I also would have recessed part of the threads as well as the bolt head, because I have to overbuild EVERYTHIING!!!! Eventually I would have made the blocks adjustable because I can't cut anything accuratey, acurately, accurately...
Next time you could use some playing cards for shims. Great video as always!
at the beginning, without anything in frame, i expected the pop teleport thing you love, lol
"...first they were too thin, then I cut them...and they were too thick."
🤣🤣🤣
So glad you went with a wide profile, the proportions look great. I've been a custom framer for a long time, and I understand that thin float frames are on-trend, but they rarely help emphasize the work. If it's a big statement piece that's displayed in a prominent place, why try and tone it down with a tiny frame?

I know you have sponsorships and such, but have you tried deft satin? Personally I don't like the spray paint version, but I'm a big fan of the satin and Matt finish applied by a brush, it has a tendency to self level quite nicely. For whatever reason, the satin and the mat are slightly more expensive. I have found you can use the standard stuff for everything except the top coat and achieve the exact same finish. It's not a huge savings, but it leaves variety on your shelf at least. I'm quite picky, I prefer a French polish, I dislike any finish that removes the feel of the grain entirely. I'm pretty much a permanent convert, two coats with sanding in between is good enough for 90% of projects, the really special 10% I follow up with a friction polish, I've been with deft going on 20 years, it works quite well for me
I built my frames for my Art School graduation and I did something similar. I didn't want to have a thin touching the sides of the pieces, so I created sort of an L-shaped sides the piece was able to sit on that gave "air" around the piece. I think it came out great, but I feel no one really appreciated the effort I put into making them. Most were surprised I made my own. lol
A flipped around version of the "L" I did. I like it
@@frankmakes thank you! I also made some with glass too for watercolor pieces I did. I really like building the substrates I worked on too. I enjoy your channel, I love your shop! 💙
This one time? In band clamp?
Neat
Frank, you are a wizard, but you gotta just leave the wipe on poly behind my fren. 🙂 There are better finishes out there.
What type of hood were you using ?
Do you like it ?
Beautiful Frame. Painting ?
The painting is on a stretcher. Did you lock it in place by screwing it into the frame? Will that cause problems later?
You could do the wire on the wall instead of the painting. Nail in the painting.
Frank, The frame is definetly different, but that’s who Frank is, right?!
I'm sitting in the van in shock ,that you bored the holes freehand
Your uploading videos make for a great time.
Relieve your stress with 8-minute news in Ukrainian*Europe.
R@d Done B0tton. Great Power.
frank you should have set the picture in a rebate, to let the frame move in the stretcher that has wedges in it , not great idea to screw it down, the canvas could shrink or grow depending on the seasons , check other framing techniques , the frame is held in a rebate with clips screwed into the frame not the stretcher
👍 für den Algorithmus
No glass?

In 50 years time someone will be trying to hang up the painting using those "bolt tabs" and be very frustrated that it wont hang level no matter how precisely they screw the bolts to their wall.
7:52 Expansion bolts in the mortar!?!?! Tsk tsk tsk....
Excuse me Mr. Frank, but those steps going in to your workshop need brakes on the wheels. Thought you were about to go skating for a second lol
The brakes on the wheels have warn out
your fancy lens makes it so barely anything is in focus now
Franks father in law paid for EVERYTHING
What do you mean?
Who’s your friend- Jackson Pollack?
