Woodworking : Woodworking Blogs
I’ve been wanting a Jointer for a while. Since I have a small garage shop and woodworking is only a hobby I have been looking at the Grizzly and Ridgid 6” jointers. Did I mention I’m cheap too? Anyway the Ridgid normally sells for $429. I went to HD today to buy something else and went down the tool aisle, to drool as usual, and they had the Jointer for $324!! Well I couldn’t pass that up so it’s sitting out in my truck in the parking lot and I am counting the minutes until I get off work and can go home to put it together! (original story)

Inside Picture Framing #6: Hanging
Posted from Woodworking Blogs at Lumber... 3 hours ago
Woodworking : Woodworking Blogs
For best viewing, the center of the framed image should be approximately 63” above the floor. Any picture frame larger than 8” X 10” should be hung using two hooks. This reduces the torque on the frame and also prevents movement of the picture on the wall. If the wire on the frame is too tight to use two hooks then the frame should be re-wired. When wiring a frame, the wire should be long enough so that the angle between the wire attaching point and the nearest hooking position is approximately 60° above horizontal. The wire should be short enough so that the hooks do not show ... (original story)

Inside Picture Framing #3: Dust Cover
Posted from Woodworking Blogs at Lumber... 3 hours ago
Woodworking : Woodworking Blogs
A picture frame typically has a dust cover on the back. As it’s name implies, this cover is designed to keep dust out of the frame package. However, it is really more important than that. Properly covering the obverse of a frame keeps out dust, insects and airborne pollutants that could cau... (original story)

This article is not about the artistic placement of art but rather about the physical placement. Any framed art or item that you value should never be hung on an exterior wall or above an active fireplace. Exterior walls go thorough drastic temperature changes during the days and seasons.

SideBoard

Woodworking : Woodworking News and Articles
I made this sideboard (buffet) from plans out of WOOD Magazine. It is all oak with Golden Oak stain and poly finish. It was a fun project but when I was about 90% complete I realized there would have been things I would do differently next time. I Hate when that happens!! It turned out ok but next time I will shop more diligently for the hardware. I got this stuff from Rockler and yes, it was overpriced like everything else they have. (original story)
Inside Picture Framing #5: Spacing around frame components
Posted from Woodworking Blogs at Lumber... 3 hours ago
Woodworking : Woodworking Blogs
All parts of the frame package (backing board, mounting board, mats, art, glazing) need to be spaced away from the edge of the frame so that natural expansion/contraction of each part does not cause bowing or cracking. In general, there should be 1/16” space on each side and 1/8” space at the top, more for large frames. (original story)
