 This is Chichu again. Now what we're going to do in this video is put up frame angers for this for this piece of art that I bought a few months ago From a sort of a local cafe gallery That we went to and what I've done is done a little move to a new space So I'm sort of doing a fair bit of rearranging and I hadn't had the time to put this up yet Or the place actually hit a wall the space, right? but in this new move there's a beautiful little area that I do want this picture to be up and There is a video out Showing you the space and how we do the measurements for the space and you know, I put together a little video of Showing you this piece What the art looks like What we're going to do in this video is Basically do some measurements to make sure this thing is going to be centered Okay, and this is just simple measurements and one of the reason I wanted to do this is because One one of my friends was working in a gallery and She was putting up some artwork and there's a certain, you know, there's a certain cemetery in Presenting art in nature really so what I found out when I was there is Open space in in arts in art galleries is huge like empty space And they like to lay things out sort of symmetrically or there's you know They try to put some kind of cemetery within the displays, right? So when she was putting up some artwork You know, she asked me to help her out doing some of the calculations And I thought you know, I never really thought about You know what it takes to be able to put art up or to be able to do measurements So I figured I'd do a little video and show you how I end up doing things I'm not sure if this is the official way of doing things or what not This is just my way of doing things depending on the space that I'm working with. Okay Now for this piece, it's not very heavy The heaviest part of the piece are these I guess these are two by twos most likely. Okay So it's a it's not that heavy of a piece. However, the walls I'm going to be putting it on are Plaster and this isn't really old house All space that I've done this partial move into so We're not 100% sure what's behind the walls It's been really hard trying to find The studs the the beams, I don't know how you know if they're how far apart they're put together You know, we've tried putting up some other stuff and There is no rhyme and reason of what's behind the plaster So what I'm going to do is to make sure that this piece, you know, doesn't Accidentally get bumped or shake loose or the walls, you know, the plaster doesn't give I'm not going to just put one Hanger frame hanger here. What I'm going to do is I'm going to put three different three hooks here one in the center and two Offset on either on your side with the same distance. Initially, I was going to put five But that's going overboard a little bit Because all I'm going to do is I'm going to put nails into the plaster about you know long enough So it's even one will hold it up three should be a plenty Okay, so what I do need to do is Do the measurements And do the calculations and it's fairly straightforward and what we're going to do is we're going to do it in metric and imperial In centimeters and inches, right? Just in case whoever's working You know, if you want to work in centimeters, you can see how it works if I want to work in inches You can see how that works as well. Okay now The other choice initially what I might you know thought about doing is I have some You know, as you can tell I got some, you know material hanging material stuff and they're fairly cheap And this one was I can't see this it was a dollar seventy, you know, you end up getting all this stuff and there's a You know, there's a wire here If I open this up show it to you, right? You know, they give you this Wire that you can wrap around these little hook things You know these guys I'm pretty sure if you've ever put up frames, you know You work with these things, right and you could go from one end to the other and you know Just loop it and it's just one wire going across and you can just hang it for one One hook, right But I'm not going to do that with the walls that we're going to do. Okay, what we're going to do is and I have another set here as well I sort of go ballistic on these things. I like these little Little knickknacks because they come in handy. You don't have to go searching for them and when you buy packs You're not getting a lot for your money, right? So you as long as you're semi organized, you can you know where to keep them You're all good and this is another one as well You know, there's stuff like this These are the hooks, right? Bang these in I think I think you end up banging these things in the walls. I don't usually use these I don't recall using these at all Um, you know, there's wire. There's other stuff. What wouldn't end up doing we're gonna end up using These guys And these guys go on the back here like this, right? Because this is the top by the way and this is the bottom of the frame. That's we are that's the way of set it up so um We know how it's gonna hang so the thing's gonna sit like this and these guys You know allow you to the what do you call it the teeth? I guess here the triangular teeth These guys allow you to adjust it accordingly, right if it's hanging like this You can adjust it accordingly Now since I want to I want this to be as sturdy as possible This is a double set But I'm gonna use a triple set. I have a Nice little triple set here. There's three of these guys, okay? And these guys have nails these little guys If you can see that these little guys go In those and these nails the bigger ones go into the walls and you hang it from there Um, but I'm gonna see and there's another set as well But I'm gonna see I'm gonna try to use wood screws on this That way, you know, I don't I don't have nails. I know I rather work with screws because screws are tighter And always you always have an exacto knife, right? It comes in handy So what I'm gonna do I'm gonna hopefully I haven't cracked this open yet. So I'm gonna crack this open and I do have here. Let me show you this. This is something I picked up a while ago and it's It's you know, it's useless if you're you know working professional stuff, but for home use Any little yeah, I just like this comes in super handy because it's got Whole bunch of different size stuff and I don't know how long I've had this. I've had this a long time and It's nicely organized And it's my to go You know Little bag of tricks that I go to to try to find things that work So I do have some wood screws here. So what I want to do I'm gonna see if This fits inside one of these holes since I haven't cranked this. Uh, sorry crack this open yet You know what I got scissors here. So I'm just gonna grab the scissors and cut this my scissors a Screw driver would grab so Grab the scissors. Let's crack this open Or cut this open and hopefully This wood screw is not too thick. Oh, perfect. Look at that Goes right in So I'm gonna use these screws and that'll be tight on this end for sure And uh, it should be tight on the other end as well Now the little things on this is not in here. So since we're missing the insides of this Right had to go get Just the right type of screw driver for this and I guess this is called, uh What's it called a flathead or Phillips? I'm really bad with names I would be fired right now if it was back on the What do you call that construction crew right? Right, so what we're gonna do is I'm gonna put this back where it belongs I'm gonna put this back at where it belongs Because what we need to do is do the measurements and that's what we're Really concerned about the rest of it. It's just mechanics fairly easy to do So let's put all the stuff aside and we don't need this. We don't need this And we know where these guys are. We're gonna use these guys, right? I could just pull these out. I need six of them Two for each That's pretty good so we've got four And we've got six So let's put that there Get rid of this guy We do need this later though. We don't need this And we will be using a hammer as well. Oh, no, we're not gonna use the hammer That was initially my plan To put the nails in but I rather do it with the screws It's cleaner So first thing we've got to do To do our measurements to put the hooks in the right place Is we need a full distance of this thing, right? So let's do this Both an inches and centimeters So in centimeters, this is 92 centimeters And it's 36 and a quarter of an inch Okay for one end to the other. So let's write this down 92 centimeters So we've got metric Imperial I don't know if we should do this in and always whenever you're doing this always have A pencil handy so you can make marks and you want it to be a pencil not a pen So here we'll do this with metric So metric we had 92 centimeters and this was 36 and a quarter of an inch One two three four 36 and a quarter of an inch, right? So we'll do our calculations on you know, or write down the numbers anyway on a on a piece of paper on either side So you see and I brought a calculator and This is not my solar calculator that I've been using but another old school Calculator, I mean, I don't I think I got this in the 80s as well Says was to say Hollywood Hollywood calculator. I have no idea who these people are but it's been a brilliant calculator. I mean, I've had this thing Long time. I'm not sure if it's from the 80s or 90s early 90s Um, but it's been with me a long time Okay So what we're going to do is we know the distance from here to here from one end to the other 92 centimeters Or 36 and a quarter of inches, right? Now first thing we're going to do is The first nail on the wall. Hopefully it's going to be right in the middle, right? That's where we want it So what we've got to do is measure the middle of this and we're going to put a little tick on there Now the middle of Each one of these is each one of these divided by two, right? so 92 divided by two Is going to be 90 divided by two is 45 so 46 right and 36 and a quarter divided by two Is 36 divided by two is going to be 16, right? Uh, sorry 18, right? So 18 and a quarter divided by two is 18 and 1 8 And that should be The middle so hopefully we go to the same place, right? Uh, if not one of these is incorrect. I'm way better with metric than I am with imperial so The 30 uh 36 Um, or 46 is You know, 90 90 sure. It's correct So let's check it out And you can lock these guys, right? So we're going to go to 46 is right here That's the center and 18 and 1 8 is 18 and 1 8 and yeah the same place, right? So we're just going to keep the tick there and I'll show you I don't know if the Camera is going to be able to zoom into this thing Close enough anyway, but So 46 if you look at it 46 Where is it? 46 is right there, right? And 18 and 1 8th is right there, right? Because imperial is divided into 16s right So all the ticks If you go through this thing Each one of the ticks on an inch on a metric system on an imperial system like this is 1 16 So there's 16 ticks between these right and if you wanted to know how to break a line and Into pieces. I have a video out there for breaking a line into pieces Um Into odd and even pieces. So if you know if you're not sure how to do this That video will help you out Now this guy is going to go in the middle here, right? Now because we're not you know, this isn't Exactly just one hole here. I really doesn't it really doesn't make a difference how far off center. I am But let's just measure this thing. Let's see how many little Notches we have here, right? So we've got one two three four five six seven That's cool. If that's seven That's odd so One two three on this side, right? Go over one and then one two three on the other side So I'm just going to go right in the middle. So I'm going to line this up with the center one Being right on top of here and I'm going to go fairly close to the edge here Okay, I'm not sure if you can see this well enough, but whoop You guys don't know everything's moving. So I'm just going to go pretty close to the edge here. Okay uh, one reason is because if I decide to hang this up somewhere else that hooks Sometimes the hooks are you know further up and they're at the bottom here instead of nails Then I don't want the hook to show up top. So I'm gonna Be close to this if I was going to go in the middle what I would do Actually, we could go in the middle. I guess is measure this and put the holes right In the middle, right? That way everything's lined up in the middle. But once you get close to The edges here should be fairly easy To put these in okay Now all I'm going to do now is go off in either direction Right a certain distance Now just for exercise for for fun. What we're going to do. I don't know if you call it fun It's you know exercise. I guess we could go as at any distance we want right look at lay this out you know one here And go off center and lay another one a certain distance And do the same on the other side because you want to be symmetrical, right? Symmetrical here and as long as we've measured this and we definitely would want to measure it That's where we're going to put the holes in the walls right with the nails All right, so measurement is super important for us to know where everything is right But what I want to do is I'm going to take the average between these guys from the edge to over here That way the weight is distributed evenly Okay, instead of all being in one area, right? It shouldn't really make a difference, but I like being sort of symmetrical with my With my work as symmetrical as possible Okay, so if we're going to go in the middle Then all we need to do is Divide 46 by 2 and that's going to put us Right in the middle of these guys, right? It's going to go over here and whatever answer we get we just measure the same distance this way All right So 46 divided by 2 40 divided by 2 is 20 6 divided by 2 is 3 so this becomes 23 And 18 and 1 eighth divided by 2 18 divided by 2 is 9 And 1 eighth divided by 2 is the same thing as 1 eighth times 1 over 2, right? Because if you're doing division you change it to multiplication and flip your fraction And 2 is a fraction since 2 is 2 over 1, right? So it's just multiplying the bottom by 2 so this becomes 9 and 1 sixteenths Right Which is perfect Those these ticks these measurements are available on our You know meter stick here or what do you call measuring tape here, right? I told you I'm bad with names, right? So what we got is 23 centimeters. Let's go over here And let's just lock it And we've got 23 centimeters here That's where we're going to line up the center of this other hook right and 23 should be 9 And 1 sixteenth and it is all right. So that's one two three four five six seven eight and then eight on the other side, right? Perfect So the measurement works out So these are Our calculations as simple as it gets right all we're doing we're just dividing by two every time So Let's go Oh, yeah, we've got to put a little mark over here. Let's do 23 here as well or nine and one 16th, so I'm just going to do nine and one sixteenths as I flipped it over That's flipped the tape. So the inches are just closer to me So that's where we are and all I got to do now is Line these up with the seventh Hook indentation being Where it's lined up now if I had uh, I didn't I left my drill at the other location So I don't have my drill with me. Unfortunately. Otherwise the drill would be super easy I got to do this manually I'm going to make sure that this is Doesn't slip around too much All right, and I'm going to go a little bit on an angle Because that's the way I'm sitting the thing with screws is is once you get a hook into the wood It's easy You don't have to put too much pressure this guy's super hard watching us if this one works better So this thing is very difficult to screw into these guys, right? I don't have my drill My drills left at the other location. I'll have to grab that some other time, right? So what I'm going to do is actually I'm going to put These things in with the The nails that they provided And it's these little guys and there's six of them, which is perfect here. Let me show you what these guys look like So small And that should be plenty to hold each one of these in on either side, right? So I'm just going to grab the hammer here Um, you'll be faster, but it's going to be noisy unfortunately So let's make sure the Center part the center center notch Is right where it's supposed to be So let's put that in there. Let's see how hard this wood is. There's one Doesn't take much And much easier with the these little nails, right? So let's throw this in there. Let's make sure it's even, right? Push it in a little bit the whole sets. It's pretty even And we're gonna do this just have to be careful You don't bang your fingers because these things are so small What do we got? So here's another one, right? And I'm gonna make sure there's seven notches here, right? One two three four five six seven Right one and how many peaks one two three four five six peaks, right? So one two three going right in the middle, right? So we're gonna do this with this right in the middle bring these little guys Now we don't we don't need we didn't need the calculator, right? I thought the numbers the distance would for this would be a little bit more crazy It wasn't gonna be perfect for the inches anyway Now usually You know you get in your hammer and you just go tic tic tic tic You get it all standing up easy and then bam bam, but I'm not I'm not gonna hit it too hard because I don't want to Damage anything on the other side or on the On the art, right? So this guy here too Let's put this in that one's in the center as well So small There's a perfect exercise for a little kid to do teaching him how to perfect And this is gonna hold it really well Take a look at these things so small Look at that trying to hold onto that and hammer it So it's as simple as that and they gave us these nails to put into the wall So these guys hook on to the nails here, but what I'm not going to use these ones. I'm going to use Use a longer ones. Okay, there's three of these guys and these guys well They ended up being useless on this one because I didn't have My drill right which is something you should you should have drills come super handy Okay, so we've done the work from this end. We put the hooks on The picture right this one's a little Let's get a little angle to it, but that's okay So we've done the work from this end, right now what we've got to do is do the measurements on the wall And there's a space between two things that I want this picture to go up And we're going to measure the middle there on that side and then offset 23 centimeters or nine and one sixteenth of an inch From each from those hooks And that would be it. That's where our nails are going to go and all we're going to do is just align it and put it up, right? and You know, we'll take a look at the video from there. We'll go to that video and There is a video I will be loading up a video or I have loaded up a video That shows you what this art looks like and you will see it in the next video or we're doing the measurements For the wall, right? Quickly, but if you want to get a really detailed look on it I'm going to spend one video just showing you the art here because it's it's really I really like that it put a smile on my face and there is two other pieces that accompany This picture that are done by the same artist. Okay And that's it simple calculations just division You know, we did have fractions in here as well, but Uh, luckily, well, I don't know if it's luckily but made the calculations much easier They didn't have to deal with fractions in the metric system, right? You almost always have to deal with fractions in the imperial system almost always Uh, that's it. So there's two other videos that accompany this. Um, if you're interested to see the whole set They're out there. Okay. I'll see you guys in the next video. Bye for now
