As someone who used to work for a high end custom framing business—use a stop block on the miter saw and cut each leg separately. Don’t stack pieces and try to cut them both at the same time. If you do, you risk screwing up two pieces instead of one. Also, cut your long pieces first—if you mess up, you can chop it down to be a short leg and save materials.

Ron Swanson voice Our teenager asked me one day before the wife's birthday if we could "just go out and buy" a 36 x 12 inch frame. I watched this video instead and made the thing myself from scrap pine. I am semi-competent amateur woodworker but I had never made a frame before. It worked. This man and his video have my approval.

very clear instruction without any delay of getting to the point of the process thank you for that

Great video! Thanks for showing the three different methods. Not everyone can afford a table saw or router table so it was nice seeing you do it various ways!

I love Norm Abrams. He's been a hero of mine since the 80s. A true master carpenter.

THANK YOU! I watched other videos where woodworkers assumed we all had 25,000 worth of tools. Impressive but NOT helpful. I really appreciate your guidance for doing this on a limited budget. 🙂👍 That said, I'm jealous of your router table. So many things I could do with that...

I learned a lot watching your video. My wife's dad was a locally famous artist and collector of fine art. He was the professor at University of Florida for 20 years and Sante Fe JUCO for another 20 before he passed away. My wife inherited part of his 1.3 million $ art collection so we sell fine art and have dozens of paintings that need to be framed. I'm hoping to learn how to frame some so we don't have to pay someone else to do it all the time. I like the fact you showed your mistakes and went back and corrected them. For that reason and the fact I learned so much as a beginner I subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much. ( Rusty)

That was literally the best instructional video with the meatiest content in the shortest time that I have ever watched. Thank you for being concise, precise and normal! Going to get my husband on this project for my irregular-sized artwork.

So glad to see you pay tribute to TOH with a picture of norm. After paying 350$ to frame a picture, I’m happy to have watched this video. I have all these tools and now the confidence to use them. Thanks!

I am a total novice at woodwork but enjoy what I do get to do (mostly cutting wood for small building projects). Christmas is coming, and I want to uniformly frame all of my husband's Navy certificates, awards, and pictures so they'll look sharp on his office wall, but frames are Pricey!!! So, I thought I'd see how hard it would be to make a frame and I found your video. The video is so well done - it's clear and easy to follow, and your easy manner instills confidence, whether I should be confident or not! LOL Well, I'm going to give this a try!! I will need to buy a router, but that's something I've wanted to do anyway. I'm nervous about trying this but also excited. And I think he will love having frames that I made for him, as well <3 I'll be watching the first frame part of this video many more times as I learn and prepare :)

That tape in the corner thing just blew my mind! That's why I was looking for a video..I'm not too corner -savvy ❤ thanks for sharing!

Best glue up for end grain is to thin coat the end and allow to dry 5/10 minutes. Then apply finish glue and assemble. I did this for plain T joint 3/4" square oak. On the test , the oak bent before the glue failed. Great video.

Incredibly well explained and demonstrated, thank you.

when I view video's, I prefer to "binge" on them. Having the next video cued up is just the greatest idea yet. It also goes without saying that I also enjoy a lack of a time wasting minutes long intro on each video - I know what I'm watching and why so I think it's great you get right down to it. I appreciate the smarts you offer. I'm not in this league but I think it's great to learn about the techniques you show. Thanks muchly - and yes, I'm subscribed

Great way to get Norm in one of your videos! I think he would be proud of your work.

Okay, that table router is 👍‼ Want want want!! It added such beautiful character to the third frame.

My man, thank you THANK YOU. This is the best process I've learned to get perfectly-sized art frames. That trick with the miter fence: chef's kiss

What a fantastic presentation of building different frames with different equipment.

Excellant Video. You went from simple to a little more complex and for a senior + guy like me it really helped. Thank you.
