Making a Simple Floating Frame from plywood scraps and a 2×6…gorgeous!
Making a Simple Floating Frame from plywood scraps and a 2×6…gorgeous!
My niece is a budding photographer and on a family trip to Alaska in 2018 snapped a beautiful photo of a mountain lake.

My brother had it put to canvas and asked me to make a frame for it. After watching a Jon Peters video on floating frames I was inspired. Originally, I was going to paint the frame black…which is why I used the brad nailer in the corners…but, I was so pretty that in the end…I couldn’t. The filler is hardly noticeable so it turned out alright. Maybe it’s because I live in the Pacific Northwest where I am surrounded by Douglas Fir…but, it I have to say it’s one of my favorite woods to work with. I think it’s beautiful and nostalgic. There is also something about taking an old board out of scrap pile and finding a gem that can be repurposed into something beautiful. If you have a piece of art on a canvas…don’t be afraid to try making a frame for it…it’s simpler than you might think!
That’s a beautiful frame and Stan π It really suits the picture and I love it π Blessings to you all π ΰ₯
Hi my friend. It was a good job as always. It’s pleasant to watch you at work. Greetings..ππππ
Gosh, you’re right, that photo is magnificent! But then, so is the frame. Lovely neat work Stan and a very enjoyable vid – I loved the animated paint job. I wonder if I left stuff in my workshop would it just paint itself? Cheers mate.
Good day eh!!! Very nice. Looks great!!! Take care!
very beautiful, Stan. But how are you able to always find pine (at least I believe it’s pine) with no knots?
Jon Peters is a great insipration for beautiful frames.
Say bravo to your niece. that photo is stunning
very nice, I may need to do something like this soon. π
Hi Stan, Beautiful work as always. The picture really does float in the frame. The only thing I would have done differently, as my father taught me, was to mix some sanding dust with PVA to fill the brad holes. Not a criticism just the way I was taught. Great work Stan. cheers, Huw
Very nice! It reminds me a lot of the floating frames I’ve made in the past videos. I think making the inner frame first seems like a much easier way to do it. I wondered about using the brad nailer in the corners, glad you explained the decision in the description.
Nice one buddy! I like these framework videos. Really need to make one myself!
Thatβs a great idea to use dowels!! Iβll have to try that sometime.
Absolutely speechless! The frame looks great but I am blown away by your precision, yet again. I could not make a single cut anywhere close to yours and I admire your work so very much1

Beautiful simple frame!
I really like the photo and the frame sets it off
That looks really really nice, Stan! Love the finish against that beautiful canvas.
Nice frame man, makes the picture even more great
Well don Stan. I love how you animated the finish going on! π
