Making a Small Art Frame | Hand Tool Woodworking
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2024
- This frame was made using only hand tools and took about 4 hours, including stock preparation and finishing.
I've made a number of frames, and I'm getting better with each one. This video shows you the basics of how I make my frames with a very simple decorative rabbet "moulding" on the front face of the frame.
The art that I framed was a print of the Mexican actor/comedian "Cantinflas". The print was made by artist José Pulido, whose Etsy shop is found here: www.etsy.com/shop/MisNopalesArt
Since I'm a Spanish teacher, I thought it would be cool to not only support an artist, but also have a piece of art related to Mexican popular culture.
I hope you learned something and/or enjoyed the video!
Thanks for watching!

It’s always so awkward for me to plane with my right hand (which is what I have to do with the rabbet plane), but I feel like I’m getting better!
Brilliant video, good to see another southpaw woodworker. I have success swapping the fence to the opposite side of the rebate plane and using it left handed. You just have to be mindful about your depth as you can't use the depth stop, or the nicker for cross grain rebating.
wow,😁 look at that pile of shavings!
I can't think of any additional praise to give you that isn't already in previous comments. I subscribed.
Nice little project. I especially enjoyed the end. When I was a pre-teen in the early 1960s, we moved to Mexico. It didn't take me long to become an enthusiastic Cantinflas fan. A new movie with him in it was always a big deal for me.
Oh how cool! I discovered him as an adult. I can imagine it must have been something to grow up anticipating the next film!
As a kid in 1956, we drove in to Boston to see him in "Around the World in Eighty Days."
Will watch it later :) working now ... have a great year mate!
Thank you! Definitely watch later if at work 😁
I found another way to continue when the fence on the rebate (I'm from UK :) plane started hitting the bench was to just remove the fence. Once the rebate is a certain depth it seems to guide the plane. Still, if you have a shoulder plane it's probably less hassle just to grab that.
Happy New Year!
Happy new year, too!
good job
Thank you!
Muy bien hecho 👏👏😉
Thank you !
Nice collection of literature, it was one of my majors in college (other being math), and as a Mexican, props on Cantinflas.
Gorgeous frame.
Thanks! Actually got my doctorate in literature with a specialization in Latin America! And Cantinflas is 👍
Nice work, good mitres are always tricky by hand 👍🏻 Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Sure are! Thanks for watching!
thank you it is a very good result and always success for you and always given the health of your family ..... make another project and I will definitely see it ...👍👍💖😇😷
Thank you! I wish you and your family great health too!
Fantastic work :)
Ah the joys of watching a left hander use his right hand to make deep rabbets ... Remember, YOU are the only one able to see all the grueling work you put into sanding and re-sanding and smoothing that piece. Its really good without so much finicky sanding. In my opinion. Your work continues to improve and the times to create shorten accordingly.
Thank you! Ha you are right. It is a learning curve for me, but still, I wanted it to be good as possible. Cheers and Happy New Year!
Real nice video! Cool art work too. Thanks for sharing. Tom
Thanks for the kind words, Tom!

Andrew, que bonito ficou esta moldura. Você é muito caprichoso cuidando dos detalhes. Quero aproveitar para te desejar um Happy New Year!! e também para toda a família Milacci que nos mostrou coisas incríveis aí dos Estados Unidos. Um grande abraço!
Brigado! Feliz ano novo pra você!
Am approaching the framing of a nature artist's work; wonderful timing! Thank you for sharing your talent, and for the good ideas you use. Happy New Year!!
Thanks, Dennis! Good art should be seen!
Will you be documenting the project?
@@TheHandToolery No, but I may tell you about it... 😊
@@dennishanes2165 Ok!
Bo’ano. Obrigado pelos videos de 2020 e desejo-te os melhores pra ‘21. Abraços
Feliz ano novo! Brigado e um abraço pra você!
Hola Andrew, Nice job. So, you are also a teacher? That's great. Cheers from Montevideo, we can speak spanish time to time if you agree. Have a nice day 😀
Happy New Year for you and your family!
Gracias! Y Feliz año nuevo a ti también! Ok, so eres de Montevideo tengo que decirte que mi artista musical favorito de todos los tiempos es el inigualable Jorge Drexler. Cabal iba a verlo en vivo en marzo pero se canceló, obvio, por la pandemia. Un saludo, Alfredo!
@@TheHandToolery Ya va a haber oportunidad de ir a uno de sus conciertos 😀. Y hoy en día hay que hacer un poco como dice Drexler "tema, tema..." Para ir saliendo de esta situación. Un abrazo.
@@alfredog2762 Se programó la fecha para septiembre de este año. A ver qué pasa. Pero sí, ¡tenemos que poner "codo con codo" y salir adelante!
I have the same plane minus the fence attachment. I’m also left handed like you and know the awkwardness of using them since they’re right hand oriented
Sure are! We lefties need to demand better! 😂😂
Than you for all your hand tool videos. I learn a lot from them. Could you please let me know if that rabbet plane has a skewed iron?
Thank you for watching! The Stanley 78 does NOT have a skewed iron.
Thanks ! Do you also use it for across the grain rabbets or do you use another one? Or are you fine with it for both. If you use a different one could you suggest/recommend one from Lie-Nielsen or Veritas?
@@edwardleonard9901 Hey! I use it for cross-grain, too! It works fine with the nicker, but it doesn't leave a great surface finish. So, I take it close to final dimension and then finish by hand. As far as other brands, I wish I could help more, but I have zero experience with them. Of course, I would love a skewed iron plane, but I don't have one at the moment. That said, I love the Lie-Nielsen look over the Veritas--purely preference for the older/classic style over the very modern Veritas.
Looking your video a question have jump from my mind. What do you do with all those shavings? I have big bags of those and all weeks are more
I take them to the dump, unfortunately. I don’t have a way to dispose of them otherwise.
I like the decorative rabbet on the outside.... never thought of that
Do they make left handed rabbet planes?
Thanks! It’s something I like to do on most of my frames. I wish they made lefty planes. The fences can be moved to the other side but the depth stops can’t.
Please make more videos
Will do! For now I’ve got over 100 for you to binge!
Andrew, wha'ts your combination square brand?
It’s from Home Depot-Swanson. I tested some for square when I bought them, and these were bang on. They don’t hold as tight after about 2 years of use, however. Still I like them.
@@TheHandToolery danmit, here in Brazil they are expensive (R$145, last time I checked). I will try to make a plane and need an accurate one, but so far has nothing been easy. Thanks, and nice art frame!
@@luizgabriel3388 Aw, sorry to hear that! If memory serves, I paid $20 (maybe more) for both, and at 5-1 exchange, that's R$100, so that is a bit of a markup for sure! Unfortunately, I've found that to be true a number of times, that products can be marked depending on the market.
Why did he put those thin sticks between the glass and the picture?
It sets the picture back so it isn’t directly against the glass.
@@TheHandToolery thank you for the fast answer... ;)
@@haisamjab Of course!
YOU WILL show us CLOSLY ,PLEASE.
Cutting glass, I hate it with a passion.
My work;)
We threw away a bunch of old frames and I saved the glass. This was 5x7 so it fit perfectly without cutting!
@@TheHandToolery no worries! It’s part of my work.
