Picture frames 101

It’s been 3 weeks, and as you might have expected, Wrigley has been keeping me really busy. I’ve been chasing him around the house, making sure he doesn’t make a mess on the carpet. Thankfully housebreaking is coming along nicely, and hopefully in another month I will be able to start venturing back into the shop.

While I haven’t been in the shop, I have had time to do a lot of woodworking related reading.  I have a bunch of posters I Want to make frames for, and since I have never made a frame before, I did what I always do when I need to learn how to do something; I bought a book. How to Make Picture Frames is an excellent book, It shows you how to make several picture frames using your table-saw and Router. On top of frame construction, it also covers sizing the matting, to keep the poster visually balanced.  At $12 it’s an excellent purchase, check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
