Excerpt Ten: FINISHING THE STRETCHER FRAME. Thomas Baker finishes assembling the wooden stretcher frame, shows how keys are used in the corners of the frame to tighten canvas, discusses tightening canvas with water, and tells why canvas can become loose. Next he will cut out a piece of canvas to stretch over the frame.

You're a fucking idiot. You're hitting them in perpendicular while you're supposed to hit them in diagonally so the wood chip pulls the sides apart. What you are doing is useless. No wonder you don't think these are good, you don't know how to use them!

Get a grip on yourself, now. Rein in those emotions. I assume you're talking about the wooden wedges in the corners of a stretcher frame. "Pulling the sides apart," no matter how you accomplish it, as a way of tightening a loose canvas is simply a bad idea. It unevenly strains and ultimately damages the canvas. Banging in wedges (perpendicularly, diagonally, or any other way) is a mickey-mouse fix for a loose canvas.
But if you like it, bang away! (diagonally, of course). It's a free country.

"But it's just such a poor idea, I would never do it, if I were you". Shouldn't you call this, Thomas Baker's How Not to Stretch a Canvas Tuturial. I don't understand.

Somebody claimed that the music I ended the final segment with was copyrighted, so I had to pull it. So there is no #11 on YouTube now. However, other people here probably have videos showing how to stretch canvas with pliers, so you'll have to go looking for them (and look for someone using the pliers in a criss-cross pattern, which gives a more even stretch).
Or, if you're serious enough about canvas stretching, you can always go to my website and buy my DVD, to see how to do it my way.
