How to Make a Picture Frame Sled. Perfect Miters Every Time.

- How to make a picture frame sled for perfect miters every time! This genius sled eliminates math when trying to determine the length because it measures from inside the rabbet. In order to make perfect picture frames you need two things… One the two corner pieces must add up to 90° and the short sides as well as the long sides must be the exact same length. Picture frames are not measured by the inside or outside length but by the rabbit so we can set the stop to create a frame for the exact size of your artwork.

I'm a professional picture framer and this jig is incredibly impressive! Rule of thumb, make your frame 1/8" bigger than your artwork/matting to allow for expansion
I like the contrast that the red square has. Nice improvement from the last one. I appreciate creators who recognize opportunities in their projects/designs and don't hide it but rather share their experiences so we all benefit. Definitely going to build one of these.
Holy cow!! I’ve been a woodworker for over 40 years and I must say, this sled is the best idea I’ve ever seen! THANK YOU!!! Definitely on my to-do list! 👍
Made your original a few months ago and it's been a wonderful addition to my shop. Asked my wife for a mat board cutter for my birthday, which she thought was really dorky. But now, thanks you you Sir, I've made all kinds of frames for my home. Thanks for the updates on this very handy jig!
This and your crosscut sled are two of the best videos youve made over the years!!!
Huge thanks to you brother. I’ve made a ton of picture frames and I made the first version of this sled. These videos have been a huge help for me. Appreciate you.
Brilliant. one of the best woodworking ideas ive seen for a long time.
I made the stripped down version of this sled and the miters were perfect on a 18x14 inch frame. Thanks so much. The entire idea of matching the left side cut with the right side for a perfect 90 degree angle is brilliant.
Just finished mine. Tomorrow will try it out!
I love the aluminum square idea. Never seen that before, but it is a perfect solution.
Ditto that. That being said, I would still try to ensure accuracy so that the stop is accurate / same angle as the cut line.
I don´t know what it is about this video, but out of all of your videos this is one of my favorites.
I think it is, because it is well explanied and calm.
Bloody genius... A thing of beauty!
Thanks David - this was on my list of projects and it is great to have your vid on this. Perfect timing!
Outstanding upgrade. I made the first one and will be upgrading to your new one! Thanks for posting
Great, informative video. Thanks Dave. As always your passion for your work shows.
I've loved the sled I made off your original plans, and experienced every single one of the issues you talked about in this video and can't wait to make my next version along with you to fix them!
Just discovered this video a few days ago. I got the plans and built one yesterday. I finished it up this morning and just buzzed out an 11 x 14 frame from some southern yellow pine I had in my cutoff bin. The miters are air tight and the inside measurements were dead on. Thank you David for one hell of a jig. I have been making picture frames for a long time and thought I had a good system but this one is so much easier! No math just set it where you want it and go!
Right on, thank you!!
I’ve looked at many frame jig videos. This is so perfect! I’m making this! Thank you!
The best I've seen. And I've seen a bunch. You did a great job of explaining everything. Thanks for your time.
Love it David. Pure genius
This is the best miter jig I’ve seen! Genius!👍🏻
The best ever ! Covers everything ! Thank you!
I like this approach for frames. Using the aluminum square for this was brilliant. I must add to my collection.
Exactly what I needed!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Yes! I've been waiting for this video. Can't wait to build it!
Fantastic, watched the old one a couple of years ago and now the new one. So useful, thank you!
Thanks for the updated 'how-to"!
Whoop whoop! Been waiting for this. Thanks so much brother.
Just built this sled . What a time saver its going to come in real handy I have a ton of frames in my future .
This video is excellent and I'm definitely going to make one of these. Love the improvements and the step by step instructions. Keep rocking, David!
Thanks Cristiana!
@@MakeSomething So i just bought a table saw and realized it only has one miter slot instead of two. Can you tell me if this is going to be a problem for stability if I don't have 2 slots to guide the sled? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
@@SOKPUPPY Check out Michael Alm's picture frame jig. His is very similar but only uses a single track. Short answer: you should be fine... Here it is: czcams.com/video/Mr0p2DLPTts/video.html
Great video, Dave~! Your projects are surely shop improvements~! Thanks for sharing~!
Hi David, thank you for this. I've seen other videos on how to make a picture framing jig, but didn't grasp the fit-up until you explained it. Now I'm gonna make myself a picture framing jig! Thanks again!
Awesome idea using the square!!!
One of my Favs!!! I love the improvement
Love your videos man! Love the way you give actual other options to us instead of just saying “you can use other ways and means to do this” and then just breeze past. Lovw our work and love your music too! “Stay safe and teach us something” :oD
Great jig and presentation. Thank you.
Very timely update! I’m just about to make a picture frame jig for myself, and will build this version. Thanks!
Awesome series of videos! Loving it.
Fantastic mitre sled, fantastic video.
Thank you.
From Missouri
You're a genius! Love your videos! Keep it up! Thank you for sharing! This will be probably next on my list of things to make! And your picture frame clamping jig as well!
Just found your site and love it. Very clear and easy to understand your instructions. Now I'm a subscriber, and looking forward to watching all your videos. Thank you.
Great job. This is perfect, making my sled this weekend. Thanks
This video was super helpful, making mine this weekend. Thank You!
Finally got to use this jig yesterday , make it several months back. It worked out perfect , cuts were dialed in & this jig made it sooooo easy . Now to make your jig to glue up the frames.CHEERS!
Another great video. Definitely need to make one for myself. Also, that notorious RBG sticker. Love it.
Fantastic tutorial. Im half way through making this sled now and ill most likely make the rest of the items from this series.
You da Man David, I'll be making the jig right after I complete my outfeed table! Thanks!
Nicely done & executed David! I definitely have to make me one of those picture frame sleds! Thanks....👍👍😉😉
I learn, I laugh, I love you, man!
will be making this! looking forward to the picture framing videos
It almost seems like you need a handle or something to push on. Love the design! Good tip on the square
Splines are divine!
Brilliant, really like how you present projects. Well done.
A great upgraded jig. I agree the aluminium square rule is a good option. Thank you for sharing 👍😎🇦🇺
Fantastic, thanks for making the video, very useful 😎
I've been looking for a new jig to make on my table thanks David 😊
My favorite part of this video is when you slap the glass into the frame! You are hilarious. Keep up the good work.
One of the best woodworking videos I have ever seen. Amazing technique and very well explained. Thank you so much
Right on, thanks!!
I like this version over your old one. Good idea on using a framing square and using a speed square to align the framing square. This is defiantly and must do jig for one build picture frames. AWESOME!!
This is an awesome sled, definitely need to make one. Thanks 👍
A lot of people are going to make this jig. Thanks David.
Excellent jig! I love the "because it's red" reasoning, I'm like that too. I gotta make this one day. 👍
hehe! Thanks!
Made the spline jig yesterday this jig and the glue up jig are next on my list! Great job!!!!
Fantastic work, Dave! Thanks a lot! 😃
As soon as I can I'm going to make one of those!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great job on the project and video David. 👍🏼👍🏼
Very generous, thank you!
Made the original and love it. I love the idea of the extra toggle clamp. I use to have the same issues. Tyvm. And I did make something:)
Awesome build. I'm trying to make picture frames now and it seems like there are a lot of "ok" ways to make them, but very few really great ways that are no frustration.
Awesome improvements!!! Need to make this!!! I have several picture frames to make coming up.
Just ordered the plans for the Sled and the Picture Frame clamps Awesome Videos!!
Thank you!! Greatly appreciated!
I like the new additions to the jig!
Your videos are great - really enjoy the content. One idea for this jig: what about cutting off the little triangle on top of the stop block where it crosses the ruler so you can see the measure more easily? Or at least scribing a line on it and filling with sharpie marker. Great job again!
Awesome, that will save me a lot of headaches. thanks
GREAT video. Finally someone uses some science math to do woodwoking. Love the idea of using ruled aluminum guides to help insure precision. This is a quick and dirty Dubby sled alternative to square picture frames that accounts for the rabbet that throws most picture frames out of wack and causes them to not look right.
Thank you 😊
great video, i will be making one of these soon!
Another awesome jig! I also really like the little side notes you do like talking about the CA glue, I will definitely remember that the next time I go to buy some.
I made one after watching your video and love it already. Keep up the great vidio info.
Awesome!! I made your latest jig and it came out nice! I made my first two frames, however the miters weren’t perfect, I quickly found out why... my rabbit (sp) was not set to the exact height of the ruler, so that play was likely messing with my cuts. I think to make it easier I’m going to make my rabbit standard and exactly the height of the rule to make it “smoove”!! Thanks for being you and inspiring others!
I just made one based on your idea and it works great !!!
a great and useful jig, thanks
I was going to mention adding a second clamp.. but then you updated.......nice.
Awesome upgrade from the previous version! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks David!
Dude this is exactly what I needed!
Wonderful
Been waiting years for this video! Thanks!
bravo. well done sir. appreciate the amazing explanations too.
Suddenly I want to frame everything!
God bless you sir 🤝
Great video, easy to follow. Great design and build. Mahalo for sharing!🐒
excellent
Thanks!!
Just made this. Awesome jig! Be careful make sure you line up the left edge of the square up to the right side of the blade slot.
Wow found this video now I'm making one in my garage...thanks man.
This is great! So I had some trouble finding an aluminum framing square in my area and it forced me to think of alternatives. I ended up with a very simple solution of using 1/2 ply as the sled and a smaller rectangle of 1/2ply glued on top of it with the factory edges as the fences. I’ll eventually glue aluminum rulers to them. I routered a T track into the one side to secure the 45 angled pierce with a knob. Cheap and easy. Can’t wait to make my first frame
It nice to see how you got on with the jig and making improvements
Good to know about the glue, THANKS
Love it.
