How to Make a Floating Picture Frame

In this video we show you how to make a floating picture frame. This style frame is called a “Floating frame” as the artwork has a spacing around its parameter and feels like the artwork is floating. We used red oak to build the picture frame.

Hopefully you all find the video helpful and interesting.

Very clean Harki, and that spline jig was genius. Shame your frame was upstaged by your wife's talent ;)

[stephenzanowick]

As someone who has had a table saw accident, watching you rip those boards turned my stomach. A push stick is way cheaper and less painful than a trip to the emergency room. Plus you get to keep your fingers!

[stephenshippos]

absolutely crazy running your hands through that saw!

Beautiful job. I wish I had the lovely tools to make my own frames.

It's so smart to pre-fix the trims inside the wider boards and then cut them together under the miter saw.

Thanks so much for sharing. As an artist I’ve decided to make my own floater frames with basic equipment and so far they are turning out well with the help of your tutorials.

I particularly appreciated that you described many tips for accuracy in the construction process, such as double checking the angle measurement of the mitre saw with a carpenter's square and cutting one frame piece first and using it to set the measurements on the opposite side piece.

As a carpenter for almost 60 years, you need to learn how to use power tools. You're lucky to still have all of your fingers.

this was so satisfying to watch. I appreciate every second of it. I hope one day I feel comfortable to use these tools to make floating frames for my paintings. Thank you!

That biscuit cutter jig is genious. I always use a tablesaw jig to cut my splines and this looks way easier.

[Remiaiki-bjjy]

Felicitations, good job et merci pour la technique avec la biscuiteuse ✌👏👏
