 Good how to. June 7, 2008
I like to do it myself. This book takes step through for frame making. Easy to follow and every time I read it I get more out of it. Get your own, I am still using mine.
A good book for the beginner. February 14, 2002

This book is a good book for the beginning woodworker, or someone who wants to make a few frames for their photos.It offers step by step instruction for building standard mitred frames, cutting mats and glass, and construction techniques. If you want to simply make some traditional frames this book will definitely help you out. On the down side the book hasn't been updated since 1958 and as such it's woefully out of date. It uses and describes all hand tools, some of which are not even available any longer. There is no information about the benefits of a power mitre saw, radial arm saw, or any other power tool which would greatly help in making frames. Additionally I was hoping that the book would outline some non traditional frames, such as mortice and tenon jointed frames. It did not, only standard mitred frames. Overall I would recommend this book for someone totally unfamiliar with frame making. But if you have a basic understanding of woodworking and understand mitre cuts then this isn't the book for you.

Excellent book for the beginner (me!). Clear and concise. Excellent step-by-step instructions with photos for each and every step. This book covers all aspects of frame construction, painting, mats, glass-cutting and usage. A great book to trigger your own ideas to create custom frames.Drawbacks: Original publication is 1958, and the tools and techniques used are pretty old (e.g., use of a hand saw and miter box versus an electric miter saw or radial arm saw). Photos are all black and white, so some detail is missing.
