I Bearing guided moulding cutter
I Jigsaw.
I Clamps.

Making a Picture Frame
To make a picture frame either MDF or glued
blocks of timber can be used. The frame will
need to be a minimum of 20mm thick but will be
dependent on depth of mould required. If using
glued blocks ensure the long grain is used to
prevent fracture.
The picture frame can be made using a hand
router, and a 12.7mm diameter template profiler,
with shank mounted bearing guide. The frames
have two holes that allow the frame to be
secured to the material using pins. Alternatively
double sided sticky tape or hot glue can be
used. The template material can also be drilled
and countersunk to accept a woodscrew.

Workpiece
Draw around the template on both the inside
and outside edge. This pencil line will give you
the frame outline. Allowing for a 3mm offset,
rough-cut the outside edge of the pencil line with
a jigsaw or band saw. The inside aperture
should also be jig sawn with an extra 3mm
offset to give a rough frame outline.

Workpiece
Place the template onto the frame and secure it
with pins (or double-sided tape) etc. ensuring
the pins are not proud of the top surface.

Clamp the template and component onto a
workbench; the template will need to be
uppermost. You may need to place a sacrificial
bed onto the work-bench as the router cutter will
cut into it.

Fit cutter to router and set cutter height so that
the shank mounted bearing guided profiler will
contact the template. Lock depth and with the
router on the outside edge of the template,
switch on router and begin to cut in anticlockwise direction until the frame outside edge
is complete.
Repeat operation for inside edge but this time
cut in a clockwise direction.
Rebating Back of Frame
The rebate for the back of the frame can be
routed with a bearing guided rebate cutter that
can cut a 12.7mm rebate. The inside edge
rebate can be cut using a hand router or in a
router table. If a router table is used ensure that
the cutter is guarded and that a lead on pin is
used. The rebate height should allow for the
thickness of the glass, picture and back.
Ensure that you feed in the clockwise direction
when cutting the inside rebate.

Cross section of frame.
Moulding the Frame
To rout the mould onto the face of the frame the
mould can created using a bearing guided
cutter, on both inside and outside edge. This
can be achieved using a hand router with anti-tilt
support fitted or using a router in a router table.
Routing the Back
The back can be routed using the correct size
template and 12.7mm profiler. The templates
for cutting the back will create a back that is
about 2mm smaller. This gap allows for ease of
assembly. The back can be made from 3mm
hardboard. Draw around the template and
rough-cut 3mm oversize. Secure the template
to the back and with the template uppermost
and using a shallow template profiler in the
handheld router rout out the back in an anticlockwise direction. (For the back of the 5” x 7”
frame the template will need to be rotated in a
clockwise direction as the inside of the template
is used). The back can be used as a template
for the glass to be cut professionally.
Finishing
Apply a finish to the frame. After the glass is
fitted and picture is placed in the back it can be
secured to the frame using pins. Two eyehooks
and picture wire can be used to hang picture.

picture and back.
Making a Plaques/Plinth
Plaques can be routed on both a router table or
with a hand router; the procedure is the same
as creating the outside of a picture frame. The
plaques can be made from MDF, or timber. A
template profiler cutter or trimmer will allow an
exact size plaque, or a guide bush and straight
cutter can be used if a slightly larger plaque is
required. It is advisable to use the smallest
plaque on a router table so that it can be held
more securely in a user made work table
device. Once the edge is profiled the plaque
be moulded with a guided moulding cutter.

Finishing
