See materials and tools used below. Photo frames in A2 format are not so easy to get and if, then usually quite expensive. So I set out to build elegant photo frames from beech wood myself. The frames should be made of wood, elegant, cheap and be built without machines. The hand miter saw is a great help, but it would also work with a miter box (maybe less precise). Since I used textured fine art paper for the prints, I didn't want a glass in front of the images. I used protective spray instead, so one can enjoy this beautiful fine art paper in its full glory. There is enough space in the photo frame for a glass in front and an acid-free protection layer behind the print, just have to use a different hanging mechanism. I am super happy with these photo frames. The cost of materials was about 20 euros, including fine art paper and ink for the print. The time required for the first frame was quite high - I had to pay a lesson there and wasted some wood. The last frame was done in about 2 hours not counting glue, oil and spray drying times. Material list per photo frame: - 6x beech wood strips 10x17x1000mm - Glue - Sand paper (grade 80, 120, 240) - Linseed oil - Isolation tape (flexible but strong) - 3mm MDF A2 size (ordered pre-cut from hardware store) - Masking tape - 2x eyelet plates & 4x screws - Wire - Nails Tools: - 3 clamps - Hand miter saw - Metering rule - Hammer - Screwdriver Thanks for watching!
