Not enough detail on the finishing of the corners. Couldn't see the detail on the folding of each corner, went by a little too fast. The corners appeared to be a bit sloppy as a result.

I enjoyed the video. Clean, and straightforward. And I have a better idea of how to start making my own Canvases. THANKS! It all makes sense now!

I've been stretching my own canvas since I was a teenager -- which is a LONG time ago. This is the BEST youtube video for stretching canvas for the beginner I've seen. If you have strong hands you don't *have* to have stretching pliers, especially on smaller canvases. But if you're stretching anything, say, over 30" x 40" your fingers are going to get very tired without them.

Why is the painting in the right-hand corner blurry at 6:02

Ha! It's not a painting... it's a clipboard with paper towels that I use to clean my brushes on. I probably should have removed it for this video since I wasn't actually painting anything. :)
