How To Make A Canvas

<p>Let me present you a master class, how to make a frame for canvas with your own hands at home.</p> <p><strong>So, we will need:</strong></p> <ul><li>Lathes (I had two of 2-meter long);</li><li>Wood cement (I used “Jointer moment”);</li><li>A tape measure;</li><li>Abrasive paper;</li><li>A hummer;</li><li>A staple gun;</li><li>Staples;</li><li>Angle bars, screws.</li></ul> <p>1. Measure the length of our canvas frame – I had 180 cm.</p> <p>2. The side faces I work up in the following way: get the two lathes together, and apply to them one more lath on the side and measure 100 cm.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/CVNIcbnzN3UVorqtCKEJZD5MuBs=/2db914171b3b46109efc7ad56ca5441d"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/CVNIcbnzN3UVorqtCKEJZD5MuBs=/2db914171b3b46109efc7ad56ca5441d" data-image="26530"></a></figure> <p>3. Since the picture is big I made two vertical sticks additionally.</p> <p>4. The saw ends I processed with abrasive paper from the butts, in order to smooth out the surface and remove the cuttings.</p> <p>5. Then I put the frame to be on the floor.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/AH-UKKZuZ5Ou3uF5QNNjVGocGjI=/2232ecd038784b87af626842aed26633"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/AH-UKKZuZ5Ou3uF5QNNjVGocGjI=/2232ecd038784b87af626842aed26633" data-image="26531"></a></figure> <p>6. Further I started with the lower left corner – put some wood cement and pressed, then processed this place with the staple gun from the both sides for more firmness.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/vwka7YuFSJH18edeayGr4-iOF4c=/8066d14b41864a0db854bdf0347d99c3"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/vwka7YuFSJH18edeayGr4-iOF4c=/8066d14b41864a0db854bdf0347d99c3" data-image="26532"></a></figure> <p>7. Then I work up the bottom with wood cement and staple gun, keep on with the right corner, and process the top.</p> <p>8. The frame for canvas is ready, I leave it to ripen.</p> <p>9. For more reliability, screw the angle bars on the corners from the opposite side.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/CdzmPw69T6nJpi2Rdg2EVUuqM80=/7ad9ec0511bb4bc99a474cb57323688d"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/CdzmPw69T6nJpi2Rdg2EVUuqM80=/7ad9ec0511bb4bc99a474cb57323688d" data-image="26533"></a></figure>
