I learned to make them years ago because I couldn't afford to have them made and didn't like Bi Marts! Some of the earlier one's were pretty crude. I get my glass by the case and doesn't really cost that much, especially compared to buying it pre cut. The wood is free and buy matts for $11. Can do two 12x30's with three sheets of matt. Use all the same matt so I can use the cut out parts on other size photo's. Worst thing about it is the one's I make now are simple to make and a whole lot easier than the one's before them. Tell your buddy not to give up!DogNewbie wrote:That's cool. Where did you learn to frame? My buddy is a photographer and has dabbled in making his own frames, but it sounds like there is a lot that goes into doing it well and correctly. The frame ends up being just as much a piece of art as the photo. I really like your use of barn wood. Gives is a great look!
