Thats a fantastic tutorial. I am making a picture frame too, but how do you keep the glass, matting, picture, and backing in the frame after it is all put together?

The triangular points are pressed into the sides of the frame on the back using one of these from www.rockler.com.

Thank you Nick

There are probably a few methods. One of them as shown by Woodnthings.

I used a few pieces of thin Oak as on the pics (can be nade also from metal or, you can use large washers)...I calculated the glass + cardboard + plywood and routed to that depth.

I installed a leg on a hinge and a string so LOML can hang it or just put it standing on a shelf or cabinet...the string is holding the leg from "opening" all the way...

Niki,
Good set of pictures to show your method. Detailing the "corner blocks" and strap clamp makes it easy to understand.



Glazier's points like these:



Are just a push in type...no specialized tool is needed.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
