I'm not new to woodworking, but have not done a lot of picture frames. I
can construct a frame with tight angles and all that, but I have problem when I need to secure the glass, picture and backing to the frame. I have a few expensive tools from Rockler: a Squeeze tool that puts point into the frams and a "point driver" that bangs them in. They work great until it comes to the addition of a glass front. If I'm using oak, cherry or maple (which are hard), the hand squuze tool often slips when driving the point, causing a shock which breaks the glass. If I use the point-driver tool, a "bang" is part of the way the tool works, which also breaks the glass. I can't find clips, as yet, for doing this and it's driving me nuts. I'm not a professional framer and don't feel like taking a course, but wondering if anyone out there has any ideas...? Best regards, Paul |
