Thank you so much for showing us how to correctly build a frame! I can’t really afford to have my artwork framed every time so this will be really helpful.

Wow, I am so happy the algorithm sent me your vlog. This is an elegant frame. I went to the big box store last night and purchased moldings, I will keep the thinner ones. I will have to return the others I bought and get the less expensive board and the outer molding. I have material, glue, Kreg Jig, outer band, clamps, and a Miter Saw. I do not have the cutter you have. I don't know that I am strong enough to cut with that anyway. I am going to look on your channel for what you use for the backing to finish off the frame. Thank you so much for such clear instruction. I am excited to get my framing on.

Yes please, would love to learn more about making frames!

Amazing! It looks so beautiful and harmonious with your portrait!

I'd love it if you made a playlist with any of your "behind the scenes" art videos, like framing, matting, display techniques, anything like that which compliments your painting videos. I wasn't able to find any other framing vids of yours when I tried looking because of the sheer volume of great content

Nice video - again.
Pocket screws are very fast and strong... Many wood joints would technically be stronger but would take unreasonable amount of time for a picture frame.
Using pocket screws is much higher quality than I have seen in many frames that are sold.

Again - thank you for the video.

This is great! My husband was a woodworker, I am a seamstress - I have all the materials and tools and the jig to make very nice frames. Thanks for the ideas!

Thank you so much for the video. My husband is into woodwork so I can nag him into making one of these lovely frames for me.
Kind regards
