Summary
Creating Picture Frame Moldings From Door Casing
Brian discussed his process of making picture frame moldings from door casing. He highlighted the challenges of using door casing, such as its unevenness, and how he uses a feather board to keep it straight while cutting the rabbet for the glass. He also explained his method of creating a rabbet in two stages to ensure the pieces fit together perfectly. He further detailed his glue-up jig, which he modified to accommodate larger clamps, and his finishing process, which involves painting the frames gloss black. He also shared his technique for cutting mats and backing for the frames, emphasizing the importance of setting up stops to avoid overcutting.
