Nice ideas, James. I saved these a long time ago. After a visit to the Gettysburg battlefield, I'm making a small shadowbox with a face frame that needs a profile. This is coming in handy. 😁
Thanks, for the "10 Free"! I will return some day and buy something (no moolah right now). I've always thought that one could make different frame profiles out of just regular router profiles - so, thanks again, this will get my creative juices flowing. :-) - Dave W
Love the double-inlay frame. Purchased your plans and hope to make mine walnut with maple inlays. Bonus for me is you show the cut order which is super helpful, thank you.
I made one of these frames and the challenge was pushing around small sticks of wood through a router table. Stumpy recommends double sided tape attached to a push stick. Good quality Sellotape holding the two pieces together also worked for me.
Outstanding video, James. As usual! I just acquired a Morso miter chopper that makes perfect miters in a matter of seconds. That combined with your video will allow me to expand my options for frames. Thanks a million.
Wow I'm surprised you haven't set up a Patreon account yet, as always great information especially for those of us who do not buy complex bits to make picture frames!
I love this video. Can't wait to try them. Can you tell me the router bit style which makes the large coving on the last two frames? Is it a core box round end bit, or a cove bit with a bearing? Thanks!
Timing is everything! Last night my wife asked me to make a couple of “fancy” picture frames. I opened my UTube in search of info and bam! There you are. I just printed your detailed plans and now I have the possibility of having my wife think that I am oh so special! Hahaha! Thanks for the help.
Some great ideas here. Another advantage I didn't hear you mention about this method is that you can build a large complex frame using a small 1/4" router since you never need a large moulding bit.
Something I picked up from Roy Underhill at the Woodwrights Shop (PBS). You can save a lot of wear on your more complex router bits by using your table saw to cut away a lot of waste (such as rabbets & chamfers) then take the job to the router table to finish the shaping. If you have them, set up all your routers in tables when doing a run of molding - plenty of free plans for basic router tables out there, it saves you loosing your settings when changing bits - one router = one bit, less fuss & skinned knuckles.
Yeah, OK, Roy uses hand planes and hand saws - rebate plane or plow plane, then complex profile planes which are a PITA to sharpen, modern router bits are relatively easy, just buy a new one if you have the money, but the analogy still holds. There is a the great show - one of the Colonial Williamsburg ones - where they have a team of blokes pulling ropes attached to one wide plane while another carpenter rides on top of it to form a wide molding for the Court House restoration.
I ran into a bit of an issue making one of the frames. All pieces were cut to the same size and glued up. But when I cut my 45 angles, the did not match. Each section of wood was a little off. I.e. the walnut match but the oak was off, if I slid it down a little the oak matched but the walnut was off. Do I need to raise them up a little off the tablesaw when making the 45 degree cuts?
I haven't bought it in a while. Charles passed away some time ago and I don't know what is going on with his website. It is still on there, at least. charlesneilwoodworking.3dcartstores.com/Pre-Color-Conditioner--Pre-Mixed--1-Quart--Ready-to-Use_p_47.html
I'm not seeing that you received a reply about a book/resource that lays out the various bits used in combination to achieve different looks - did I miss it? Wow - would love to get my hands on such a thing.
From build to finish, this is the best frame making video I've seen on youtube. Excellent demonstration and explanation!
GREAT video, you can be VERY creative with just a few common bits. Thanks and thanks for the download! !! !!!
Brilliant instruction. Clear, concise and 'safe'. Cheers
Thanks for the free drawings - and the brilliant tutorial (as usual!)

I love your channel. Keep the videos coming.
Game on. This was just what i needed. Thank you!

Thank you so much!! This is great
Amazing video and you made it so easy!
Thanks James..been thinking about this awhile now..
Great tutorial on how to use routers for picture frame
Outstanding video, James. As usual! I just acquired a Morso miter chopper that makes perfect miters in a matter of seconds. That combined with your video will allow me to expand my options for frames. Thanks a million.
Hi Dave I agree with you this is an outstanding video.
- Very, very interesting & challenging.
Great idea how to make complex frames with a lower budget. One of the best woodworking channels on the web. Thank you James!!
Thank you for interesting ideas ;)
Excellent video!
Thanks!! Exactjy what I was looking for
I agree with Mark...Thanks as always...rr

This is great! Now, how about a way to make canvas stretchers?

Yes, Roy sure loves his router table...

I was just messing with you.
Wow!!!

I.e. the walnut match but the oak was off, if I slid it down a little the oak matched but the walnut was off. Do I need to raise them up a little off the tablesaw when making the 45 degree cuts?
you can also use a bullnose bit too if you wish :)
love the red wings! go wings!
Can I use hide glue over stain
What size shank do you have on your router?
Hello, can you help me for the color of your frame
I can't seem to make the download page work.
Do you still use Charles Neil pre-Color Conditioner, and if so, do you have a new link?
I haven't bought it in a while. Charles passed away some time ago and I don't know what is going on with his website. It is still on there, at least. charlesneilwoodworking.3dcartstores.com/Pre-Color-Conditioner--Pre-Mixed--1-Quart--Ready-to-Use_p_47.html
+1 subscribers for you stumpy nubs...
Hi, Dave where can I buy some profiles plan, can find them on your website?
www.stumpynubs.com/product/picture-frame-mouldings/
@@StumpyNubs thank you Dave, much appreciated
I enjoy your videos. I haven't seen mustache Mike for a while. he ok?
7:05 You should make a picture frame so wide it ends up just being a frame of a frame.
Hi, is there a good book (or ebook) that I can buy and that treats the molding’s argument?
I'm not seeing that you received a reply about a book/resource that lays out the various bits used in combination to achieve different looks - did I miss it? Wow - would love to get my hands on such a thing.
Interesting but I prefer a less busy frame. All that complexity detracts from the piece you’re framing.
every time i go to the project page on your website i cant seem to scroll down on the page. any one else having this problem?
Yes I have this problem in Chrome (normal browser.) I was able to open with Edge browser though. Give that a try.
Heading said 10 but not showed 5. What am I missing?
There are five more (ten total) in the download.
I sent 5 dollars to recieve those plans 4 months ago. Still waiting.
