Tips for Making Wood Frames for Stained Glass
Beginning with the size of your finished panel, add the mitre allowance to get the correct outside size to cut the frame:
1" wide frame stock: add 1-5/16"
1-3/8" wide frame stock: add 2-1/16"
2" wide frame stock: add 3-5/16"
Use framing screws #8845, for the corners. Following the package directions, drill corner holes and insert screws.Delphi Tips:
To prevent the sideways "drift" or "stepping" you may experience when assembling the frame, just place a C-clamp covering both mitred edges. Keep it snug - not too tight, and insert screw.
Side-mount Hooks #8841 are a strong and secure method of hanging framed stained glass panels. |
