Dewayne nice frame I like the clamping system, and the splines. I made my wife a floating wall frame to put all her certificates in at work for her office. Frames can be difficult to make at times, thanks for sharing

What type of router bits did you use to make the curve and top lip of the frame edge?

Nice frame Dewayne, simple but elegant. Good job with the clamping rig.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Tony some things are better kept to yourself huh?

I haven’t made very many so I’m not tired of them yet. Actually I enjoy making them. I started using the splines to decorate and also strengthen the miter joint. I am experimenting with different decorative designs on them also. I don’t really like the way I am clamping though. There is a frame clamp thread posted a few threads later that I may copy. I think I have another design for frame clamps favorited just have to go look. Both are similar.

Asloanie it is a 1/4 round over bit least that is what I think it it called. Don’t know the name of all the bits but I usually set it to just round over and not put the recess in it. Pictured below.

Noting holds better than a spline joint. And they do add a nice touch to the frame especially if the woods have a nice contrasting look.
I shouldn’t of said I hate making frames I just prefer making something else.
I like all things wood!

Keep up the good work Dewayne !

Tony I usually don’t like to make more than one of anything but don’t necessarily hold myself to it. Like you I enjoy doing some things more than others. Haaaa Haaaa

I’ve been making a lot of frames the past few years. Each one is a challenge. My miter trimmer made making them a lot easier and less stressful. I love using the spline joint. Strength and good looking. Nice job.

Dnick you should post a project on your miter trimmer if you haven’t already. I would be interested in seeing it.

I went and looked at your projects and saw the miter trimmer. Do you use to cut the whole joint or to trim to fit? I also liked your spline jig which I favorited. I made something close that I can cut the spline and also taper the face. I will post it soon.
