nice method BUT.... how do you know *where* to clamp your stop in order to get a frame that wil hold a picture of given dimensions? 99% of the time one needs a frame to hold a picture of given dimensions, not an arbitrary size frame. So one needs to set the *inner* size of the frame somehow....
@josvanr Yes, you are right. There is such a variety of frame materials. You need to know is the "inset" of the frame, then add the thickness of the remaining frame material. No easy way that I know of to do this, maybe others have more experience and will see this and contribute some hints. One way that works great is to use a somewhat general oversize dimension, then cut a matte to inside and picture measurements.
The problem with your audio isn't the microphone. The gain control on your camera is causing your audio to "peak". The audio recording level needs to be turned down if your camera allows you to do that.
@knecht105 haha I didnt relize this video is an older one. The new ones are sounding pretty good. As a side, Im really enjoying your videos, they are very helpful.
ah yes ... my agony with microphones :( I did pick up a shotty, which am using in a couple of the latest vids ... not sure I am in love with it, as you have pointed out. I think I need a "real sound guy" to pay me a visit and help me along with this. Any and all suggestions and ideas gratefully accepted ... thanks again for your input.
Whoops... Accidentally hit the send button. I was just going to mention that a shotgun mic might not be ideal for your particular application because their pick up pattern is very narrow. If you used a shotty you would need a boom operator to maintain proper positioning of the mic as you shoot. If you were thinking of placing one on a boom stand you'll likely end up disapointed with the results because even a little bit of movement will cause you to go out of the mics pick up pattern. For
@victorscope ah yes ... my agony with microphones :( I did pick up a shotty, which am using in a couple of the latest vids ... not sure I am in love with it, for reason you have pointed out. I think I need a "real sound guy" to pay me a visit one day and help me along with this sound thing. Any and all suggestions and ideas gratefully accepted ... thanks again for your input.

Thanks for the fast response, the frames i intend to make will be covered by the canvas itself so should not be visible, i am just trying to work out ways to speed up frame making and canvas strectching, and was just unsure why corners were mitred
@fergawdsache Well, for your application ... as you indicated in your first message, of using the Kreg Jig, I would think that would be ideal for your application. We did do some "un-official testing for strength on a variety of hardwoods" on the Kreg joints both with and without glue and frankly, we were very impressed with the joints that didn't even have glue. Thanks again for your observations and ideas, it's nice to get different perspectives, it helps others too.
Yes I do have the Kreg Jig, and yes it could be used for making frames. As you mention, it is a visual look and it depends how you want to present your art work. I have also seen some beautiful frames made our of old barn wood where the corners are lap joints that overlap irregularly so there are many many ways of making frames.
Thanks for your questions, it helps to enlighten all of us :)
Well ... yes, I'm sure it is. I'm not sure how off hand. Getting the perfect angle is only half the battle you also have to have both rails and both styles EXACTLY the same length, If one rail is even a tiny bit longer than the other rail, you won't get a perfect fit. Same with the styles, if one style is even a tiny bit longer than the other the fit will be off. So, if you can design some sort of a "stop" on your mitre fence to set the lengths, that should work. Let us know how you make out :)
I get the gist of this, but using a close up when you are showing something on the table saw, for instance, would be much better, rather than to have people guess what you were doing.
I see you have a mono microphone plugged into a stereo jack. A $5 mono to stereo adaptor will make sure the audio is recorded on both channels. Good video none the less...
Thanks for the note .... actually I am using a cordless lapel mic, and yup it's mono. If you have a better suggestion I would love to hear it as I am no expert with this technology. I have thought about going to shotgun mic ... any thoughts??
Nothing wrong with the lapel mic (good choice). But when you plug a mono microphone into a stereo camera external microphone socket, It'll only record on the left channel. An inexpensive Audio adapter - mini-phone mono 3.5 mm (F) - mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm (M) will spit the mono signal onto both left and right stereo channels.

No: if you are 1 deg of on each corner you make, that equals 8 deg in total

Could this be done with a miter saw?
