How to Make Professional Quality Picture Frames

Video Description

Update! The spline jig has a video AND plans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OjLyZpU5rc plans for it on my website https://www.almfab.com/store/plans In this video I'm covering the basics of making picture frames. One of the most confusing parts of framing is how to plan your frame. What kind of mount, what spacing you want around the art, and what allowance you need to make the art fit in the frame properly. I've simplified these measurements and created an easy to follow worksheet that you can get for free on my website.
