Hi there Morley! It's funny how the universe seems to always be listening to usl! A few weeks ago I couldn't find a good DIY tufting frame video to save my soul and suddenly I'm ready to pull that tufting trigger and buy the whole kit and my only issue is trying to find a good frame that does the job and is bigger than a postage stamp!! They all look so cheap and cost a fortune! I don't get it!! Normally I wouldn't draw the conclusion that making my own frame in my wood work shop, that I don't have, with all those awesome tools that I don't own, would be the my best bet but sadly I think that's not only my best option but my only option! And the really cool part is, I can just call up all my totally awesome wood working aficionado buddies who are always at the ready to give their 'Tufting virgin' a helping hand! But the truth of it is, I don't have one to call my own!! I've never used a power drill and the last time I went to Home Depot, I must of sniffed something I shouldn't have because I had to be rushed to the ER after I spiralled into the near death pits of anaphylactic shock!! haha But if there is one thing no one can accuse me of being is a quitter or a not even starter! How hard could it be?? Famous last words!! haha And of course I don't just want to build a normal, practical frame like normal intelligent people. Where would the fun be in that?? The room that all this magic will be tufted will have a few vocations, I'm hoping to use a passions of mine, taking that which is functional but not pleasing to the eye and work my bling magic!! Because I'll be doing a podcast in there, created content, when guests come it is the only guest room, plus my resin art, sewing, painting, jewelry design and various other artsy stuff, this rather small room, at the moment gutted from flood.....when all is said and done, it will be a very busy room!! Having said ALL that, I was thinking of jazzing it up a bit to go with the decor of the rest of the home that isn't gutted. I could make a gorgeous Victorian room divider and or back drop for filming and recording. Parts of the wood could be stained but using stencils and different shades of gel stains to give an inlay look once all the mouldings, corbels, brackets, appliqués etc are added. For that matter, some fancy foot work with some burl veneer would be coo!! I have a ton of gold leaf foil which would be nice on the accents. Maybe do the base in black chalk paint and wax which would give it a matte metallic look. Maybe add some dowels across the top with a top decorative shelf with mouldings which I make myself out of clay or resin and do some built in lighting, I have some antique gold sconces that would be great! I could also find some decorative antique hardware like hooks etc to hang equipment on. And maybe build into the base, some storage for supplies. I actually have some really cool wooden legs that look like claws feet which maybe work. Maybe the base could be like a bench or ottoman to have the storage and to make it more sturdy And could be used as a step up to get to the top of the frame. A built in power bar could be good as long as it's hidden! And then to cover the frame when it's not in use, some beautiful fabric with tassels and fringe to give it that formal Victorian look. Maybe if it didn't make it wobble, it could go on castors/wheels to move it around with ease. And after all that, I think that would be one hell of a room divider or privacy screen etc. Or.... put a pale cotton cloth with red drapes on either side and it could also be a pretty cool movie screen with the projector!! And that's in case you find yourself in Montreal and feel like a good tufting challenge! Take good care,
I saw he claps the smaller frame to the table to tuft. Does the larger one need to clamp down also or the long legs allow it to be sturdy and not need a wall brace?
@@MorleyKert Hi from Puerto Rico! Could you please specify the dimensions of the complete legs assembly? I read in one of the comments that the base is 30” for the small frame and 48” for the big frame. What about the horizontal part, the one that goes attached to the frame side? Thanks!
@@oscarfigueroa3462 Hello from Canada! Yes those are the correct dimensions for the feet. For the large frame, I think the vertical legs (which attach the feet to the frame) were 60" tall. For the small frame, the vertical legs were about 24" tall.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a bigger frame. This was awesome Thank you!!
I’ve watched dan since about 2016. Such a great guy and you seem just as great! Awesome stuff!
That is awesome, simple and fully functional.
Thank you!
Nice work, simple sturdy design. Tack strips is a good solution for securing the cloth.
Thanks, Dave!
Great job
Thanks for sharing this video
That's the coolest gun I've ever seen (frames not bad either) 😁

Take good care,
Pocket holes were a good choice!
They’re pretty perfect for something like this!
Do you have all the sizing of wood for the 2 1/2 frame ?
This is perfect!
Thanks bro totally bout to build this 🫡
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽🤙🏼
¡Saludos desde Canadá! Nunca he estado en México, ¡pero espero visitarlo algún día pronto!
Hello from Scarborough!
Hello from Toronto! Thanks for watching 😊
How long should the feet be to be stable? Simple and beautiful design!
Thank you! For the small frame, I think they were 30 inches long, and for the large one, 48 inches long
you've got it guys, but can you also build a size-adjustable frame?
Im looking to do a large frame. Do you have a cut list?
What kind of drill are you using ? Is it a type of driver?
How do you get the frame to not warp
I saw he claps the smaller frame to the table to tuft. Does the larger one need to clamp down also or the long legs allow it to be sturdy and not need a wall brace?
I think the bigger one is sturdy enough on its own
Judging from the size of those screw eyes, Dan's next rug will be made with stainless steel bridge suspension cable.
How long is the 2x4 on the sides
Do you have a list of all tools and wood?
All of the tools are listed in the description! Are there specific dimensions you’re interested in?

@@MorleyKert Great, thanks for replying!
No problem! Let me know if you would like other details 😊
What are sizing on larger feet
Plus sizing for braces on feet back side
U should hide ur license plate man, ppl be weird on the internet. Awesome video tho.
Bush baked beans don’t give out their ingredients just for likes!!!🤔
