DIY Photo Frame - Handmade at Home Without Machines

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

These handmade DIY photo frames transform my photography into presentable works of art.
See materials and tools used below.
Photo frames in A2 format are not so easy to get and if, then usually quite expensive. So I set out to build elegant photo frames from beech wood myself.
The frames should be made of wood, elegant, cheap and be built without machines. The hand miter saw is a great help, but it would also work with a miter box (maybe less precise).
Since I used textured fine art paper for the prints, I didn't want a glass in front of the images. I used protective spray instead, so one can enjoy this beautiful fine art paper in its full glory. There is enough space in the photo frame for a glass in front and an acid-free protection layer behind the print, just have to use a different hanging mechanism.
I am super happy with these photo frames. The cost of materials was about 20 euros, including fine art paper and ink for the print. The time required for the first frame was quite high - I had to pay a lesson there and wasted some wood.
The last frame was done in about 2 hours not counting glue, oil and spray drying times.
Material list per photo frame:
- 6x beech wood strips 10x17x1000mm
- Glue
- Sand paper (grade 80, 120, 240)
- Linseed oil
- Isolation tape (flexible but strong)
- 3mm MDF A2 size (ordered pre-cut from hardware store)
- Masking tape
- 2x eyelet plates & 4x screws
- Wire
- Nails
Tools:
- 3 clamps
- Hand miter saw
- Metering rule
- Hammer
- Screwdriver
Thanks for watching!

    Just amazing!!! I only have one question, what spray do you use on the print? Is it setting spray? So happy to have discovered your channel btw

    Thank you! Since I don't like putting glass in front of such beautiful fine art paper, I use the "Hahnemühle Protective Spray" for a layer of UV and fingerprint protection that does not impair the viewing experience in the slightest. Cheers

    Gute Arbeit ! Tip zur Erleichterung beim Zusammenbau: Für die Gehrungen (Ecken) gibt es auch spezielle Schraubzwingen. Ist dann nicht so ein Gefummel wie mit dem Tape und garantiert rechtwinkelig. Und ich würde zum fixieren kein Malerkrepp nehmen. Das wird mit der Zeit porös und klebt dann nicht mehr. Ich würde die MDF Platten eher mit dünnen, waagerecht und nur teilweise in die Rahmenleiste eingeschlagenen Nägeln fixieren, sodaß sie die MDF Platte festklemmen.

    Danke für den Tip. Ich hatte im Baumarkt auch schon ein Spannband mit Eckschablonen in den Fingern, war mir dann aber doch zu teuer. Beim dritten Rahmen gings dann ganz fix mit dem Tape :) Für die Fixierung der Rückplatte hatte ich auch noch Stahlreiber (Drehfedern) und Leinwandhalter bestellt, die dann in den Rahmen geschraubt würden. Das Ziel war aber, die Sache so zu machen, dass die Bilder möglichst einfach zu wechseln sind. Schrauben und vor allem Nägel waren mir dann doch zu "permanent" - deshalb das Malerkrepp. Aber danke für die Warnung, ich werde hin und wieder nachschauen, obs noch hält. Oder gäbe es ein geeigneteres Tape?

    Gut zum kleben eignet sich sog. Naßklebeband (gummierte Papierstreifen auf der Rolle). Damit geklebte Bilder halten bei mir schon Dekaden ohne Ablösung im Rahmen.

    @@heinundpiet Super, danke! Das werde ich beim nächsten Mal auch verwenden. Das Malerkrepp lass ich vorerst mal dran, bin gespannt wie lange es hält.
