Wooden frames for photographs and paintings

The most beloved photographs, the first children’s drawings, paintings or other images can be displayed in house easily: just a few operations can be performed not very different framework from which you can buy at retail.

Wood Frame Structure

To make a frame just to have a conveniently milled molding in which it will host a fund shiplapping plywood or fiber. Among the background and fit shiplapping glass interlayer also cut to size to fit within the framework done. The entire assembly can be assembled based on simple stapling or use escuadritas aluminum triangular, flat or with a few folds. There are also some clips that they preserve all sides of the frame and glass, against the background of the board. Just that this is a very consistent (3-4mm).

First you must decide the dimensions of the frame, to be derived from the mere image or ridge that outlines strict image to highlight it.

Before cutting the base molding to the dimensions decided upon, consideration will be given as shall have more to compensate for the loss of sawing, especially if the joint is mitered
For lack of molding may be obtained from a smooth thick ribbon which shiplapping based practice a two-pass circular saw along. You can also obtain the-moose-based routing. In the case of not having these power tools, something similar is achieved by glue joining two strips, one above another and having a different section and thus provide shiplapping.
Transporting or molding strips measures and the long sides of the shorts, taking into account, as mentioned earlier, which can be lost in the miter, which will be achieved thanks to a rectangular or square.
The four sides of the frame with their respective mitered ends are available in many different ways depending on the tools and instruments available. It is very convenient to use the shredder radial saw or with the appropriate accessories applied to a circular saw, both manual and dry. Failing that, you can get sawed to 45 ° using a miter box or a special template, and even a double presser screw miter angle.
In any case, it is important to operate with the utmost care and precision to marry oblique cuts and there are no solutions of continuity in the corners of the frame.
Assemble wooden frames

Those mentioned above can be used clips or staples to which they hold two pieces that are to form an angle of 90 °. The union between the miter cuts are made with white glue.

If the frame is small, these additional operations can be reduced to a staple of the corner joints, making it always in the back.
Below is cut a piece of board (plywood or fiber) or a sturdy cardboard and hard to fit fully into the inside of the frame shiplapping. It must be possible in and out without edges exert pressure against the frame.
Place the board over a piece of his own actions, but of paper or card stock in a color that contrasts with the image to be placed and that bring out and emphasize their value.
Center the image on the cardboard or paper contrast.
Finally, apply the glass, to be cut to size and shiplapping enter perfectly into the frame. The bottom board can serve as a template for cutting the glass.
The staples are made from aluminum sheet having a width of 15 mm and a length of 70mm, fold forming a C of unequal arms. The party angle should be the same width as the frame.
Set four of these clips (one per side) so that all elements are retained.
The last operation is to apply, with a pair of steel nails, a ring or shackle to tables in the back and center of the upper side, in order to suspend the box on the wall with a spike or a hook.
How is assembled wooden frames?

While performing the gluing, the strips held in position. It is a point to drive through the corners for reinforcement.
On the piece of board cut to size shiplapping bottom, place a paper or cardstock in a color that contrasts with the image.
Inside the shiplapping place the glass cut to size 3, whose songs are to be grinding to avoid injury.
All items can be retained using aluminum clamps C-shaped profile and applying one on each side.
