Finally!!! someone who explained why the need for the bevel and what direction to place the bevelled side!! Thank you !!!!!

I learned two new techniques from you that are invaluable. I thought I new everything about building a canvas from scratch for years, but I never actually thought of just cutting the wood at angle and adding an additional piece to make a corner-round.....I was nailing in corner rounds which is way inferior to what you just displayed. Your gridding in the back is interesting, because if I don't feel making a halflap cut on a larger piece, I can do just what you did and make smaller pieces and move up the center piece. Very good tutorial.

Awesome video! My wife and I were empowered to make our own frame based on this tutorial :) Thank you so much!

SPOT ON! FROM ACROSS THE POND, THIS YANK SAYS; THANK YOU, WELL DONE! ! !

Thanks for taking the time to make such a clear and concise presentation, I can't wait to give this a go.

Thank you for taking the time out to share your knowledge with us!

Thanks Glenn. Today I made my first canvas. Thanks for having shared your super clear explanation. If you believe in Karma I hope somehow it comes back to you!

I have watch many, many, many videos to try and figure out how to do this. This one is by far the best I have seen and answers all the questions I had and explains in detail how and why to do things. Thank you for taking the time do share this information with us.

Thank you for this video! The time you have invested is much appreciated, Making a frame for my canvas does not seem as daunting now. Very clear video and great audio, I had no trouble viewing or learning. Thanks again

In this video I teach you how to make your own stretched canvas in any size you like. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you! So helpful!!

Thank you for helping me to get help from woodworking professionals to find the size that suits me

One of the better videos I have seen on this subject. 5 ***** stars.

Oh my goodness..I cannot Thank You enough!!!! There’s no way I can afford to buy larger sized canvases so this is going to open a big door for me to be able to dream about bigger pieces of art. Many Thanks 🙏🏽

Did you make a large frame ? How did it turn out ?

thank you for making this video easy to follow.

I wish all tutorial vids were this easy to follow! Thanks for this!

Thanks so much! I purchased a abstract painting and assumed unframed meant an actual frame..lol so I opened it up and it was just canvas and no way to hang it...this has really helped me out.

Best 20 mins of life 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Excellent video. You taught me stretcher construction theory and canvas-stretching techniques that I didn't know. Cool!

Fantastic tutorial ---- the BEST i have seen on making large stretched canvases Thank you.

Greetings from NE Atlanta, Georgia. I'm "considering" painting as my newest hobby and I'm trying to learn as much as possible about canvas and frames before I start. Thanks for a great demo! 😀

Thank you so much. Very easy-to-understand tutorial. Great ideas.

Un travail remarquable et des gestes précis . Le résultat est tout simplement parfait. Merci pour cette générosité

Super cool now i can actually fit all the puzzles together... I love this video

Great lesson! This was better than how I was taught. I need to adjust my practices now. Thankyou!!!

Yeah big thankyou brother. You made it nice a simple and encouraging. I appreciate this video a lot. Going to be stretching my first canvas and many more to follow this year.

Great video. I've got a commissioned piece that's 77" x45" so I think I might have to be building my own frame. Thanks very much and all the best. James UK

What a great tutorial and a lot of work was put into this. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the video. What kind of canvas do you use?

Thank you for the awesome video! Really helped us mount some odd-shaped art by ourselves!

Marvelous, Great ! I really appreciate the time you took to share these knowledges, I learned a lot!. Thank you for sharing.

Working from one center with three staples, going to the opposite end and stretching that center with three more staples. Now do the same process on each of the sides of the frame. Now start over again with the first side you started and put three more staples. Now go to the opposite side again, stretch and do the same thing. Now do the sides again. Do it all in the same order, working left and right, left and right, back and fort, back and forth as you work each side. The goal is to force the lack of the canvas into the corners evenly. It helps keep the canvas absolutely the same flat on all areas. I do like the way he made the frame. It's tough making perfect corners when it's just straight two flat ends connecting together. Good technique. Would be good also to check it with a corner square.

thanks mate for the great instructions on making a large canvas. I just finished mine and it looked great!

Thank you very much for sharing this step by step canvas building tutorial, it's very useful : )

Nice video. Excellent camera and editing -- and very clear voice-over commentary. Definitely a thumbs up.

Thanks for the heads up. Great work

Thank you for this great video, you are a good teacher!

very helpful tips you got on...i love the way it's done. very pro. thanks bro!!!

Excellent instructional video.It is very gracious of you to share your skills and knowledge. Such instructional videos help enable people all the world in their endeavors. Thank you.

This answered all the questions. Thanks.

awesome tutorial, where do you get the canvas rolls from ?

thanks for your time, a very useful video. I'm off to the DIY store now. Cheers

Wow, your video makes the process look so E-Z ... haha. To ensure my frames are square ... I use a square - I couldn't believe that you would just trust that your frame would com together squarely - because I use hand tools, regardless of how careful I am with my cutting - I still end up having to use a square - I got a " monster sized " metal one - the biggest I could find because I love huge frames. I always use framing brackets and gluing. I don't bevel the lumber. I don't do those support thingies on the ends. Building a frame actually takes up more of my time than the actual painting does - which is why I (when I can afford it) I buy professionally made frames like the one you've made here. This vid is loaded with useful info. for anyone who wants to take the plunge into building their own frames. The DIY feelings can be very rewarding. Thanks for sharing ....

thank you for your through explanation! Helps heaps!

Thanks for the lesson!!!

mean glenn, off to do my scholarship block course in this area tomorrow and sunday, love your tutorials you simplify everything with out all the tech lingo and explain things so even miss dyslexic here understands with my inside out brain wiring haha, cheers lovingb yoyur downloads too thanks for your efforts and sharing your talents

Exelente Muy bien explicado Felicitaciones. Todo al detalle. Saludos desde Bogotá Colombia.

Hello Glenn, thanks for an excellent how-to lesson. Hope you have an advice for me. I bought an oil painting that is not stretched yet. It's about 30x36. I need to fold as little as possible around the frame because the composition will ruined, the artist did not leave enough space around the painting... What's the best way to deal with this? Thanks in advance!

I usually get my frames made, I'll make one myself for the first time, so this video was very useful. I usually don't use that many staples. Personally I think is so many staples.

Lovely, great - very informative, very clear instructions.

This is verry good, i always paint on my wall because i couldnt find where to buy the frames n a galerie wanted alot for them

thank you for this tutorial. it was very well done, plus I love your accent...all the way from The Bay Area California :)

Nicely built. The only thing I do differently is at the corners. I fold the canvas under so that no diagonal layer is visible, also no extra staples on the sides are required.

Very good and comprehensive how to.

Very good tutorial and helpful!

Awesome video, Im so happy he uses milimiters like a normal person and not inches!

Thank you. Very well explained.

great explaination... I must follow this instruktion... I hate to buy cheep canvas from the shops, but this is real and professional... this is so good I dont need to watch any other here ... now I just need to find a stretsher... I even make my own canvasmaterial... thanks and regards from Germany... (*_*)

Great tutorial - very professional - thanks

The best I've seen so far!!!

Amazing information just handed out bless you sir..

Excellent Video, thanks.

I don't understand every things you explain - i'm french - but your tutorial is clear and excellent.Thanks for sharing.

Perfect video!

Omg good job very well explained

Great video, thanks ever so much

thank you great work

Amazing, Thanks!!!

Just right as what i need . Going to make one

Would you do all of this same stuff with the wood parts if you were making a canvas half that size? If not, I'd like to make a video request to you because all the other canvas-making videos I've seen don't have nearly the same quality in structure and tension that yours has. Thank you for making this video, by the way!

Great job, really helpful

Awesome videos man! Ty

genius! thank you!!!

now that's a pair of work jeans, top marks

Thank you very much for the great video very well explained really appreciate it

beutiful done! I would like to get hold on bigger canvases, also using the linen i prefer. really inspiring! a question, maybe a little late. do you not need to ree-stretch the canvas later? been impressed by this kind of custom frames but in my head, as you paint on it you will stretch the canvas a little. making it loose when your done. an easy reply to this comment could be “no”. haha. thanks for the inspiration.

Hi, excellent video demo. I need to know what you suggest to have the canvas not run over the edge with the image. They are with a black border. I do not want the image to be cut off or wrap around but show the edge accurately. The quality of one company I am using is good but they still tell me the accuracy is very difficult. I wonder if I should send them a file with a ¼" black border to the size required so that when they add the black border the stretching will pull up to the actual edge of the images. Will

Excellent explained....

Thank you. MASTER 👍👍👍👍👍

Thankyou, very helpful

Thanks for sharing. Not if I've missed it but you said you are going to explain why first four screws weren't going right in? Still a great tutorial.

Very clear.. thank you

Thank you!

Great Video. Nice job done :)

Thank you very much.

j'adore, merci

Thanks alot Mrs.

really great video! where do you get your canvas from?

at some point you should be measuring that the diagonals are equal to insure that it is square before all these pieces are glued and screwed, perhaps making marks on the table to keep it square while working.

great tutorial! just a question: what's the best wood for do the job? thanks ;)

Magic video

It's been over 10 years since I did this. Great refresher. Btw you forgot to talk about when you tightened the first screws.

he did say to tighten them after putting the top support for hanging. waiting to tighten the screw after putting the support makes it flush

where do you buy your canvas from? What kind do you normally purchase? Thanks, love your videos!

excellent video

Informative video I learn lot from this video

すごいですね。あなたの仕事は綺麗です。 amo

That’s awesome what size would do I need to purchase

wish I had the tools/materials and skills to make this.Its looks soo good.thanks.

I just have a question, how do you do to to avoid the screws get crossed at the corners?

Great video but as an art student I wasn't taught why to drill in rail within the inner rails. Can you explain why?
