My wife needs some pictures framed.....

I have a miter saw you can borrow 😉
I too have a miter saw.

What I don't have is the picture frame molding.

I looked into stock molding at the Warrenton Home Depot and they have nothing for a picture frame. Associate was dumbfounded when I asked for picture frames or molding for same.

Youngest artistic daughter bought a canvas several years ago at Hobby Lobby and made a nice painting for my wife. Wife wants it framed.

I was joking about the saw, I'll run an extra stick of moulding for you. 210' isn't any more work than 200.

You just like making this complicated don't ya lol.

Nice turn around on the tooling though! And with getting knives cut it makes future runs much simpler....though also reduces the excuses for not making "just a couple more" in 6 months
I've made everything way more complicated than it should be..lol. I thought 200' would last the last time.. this will be the third run.

My wife has been on me to make more picture frames for out house but I've been avoiding making any more picture frame moulding. Partially because it's a pain to make onna shaper with the design I came up with, and partially because I didn't want to have a knife ground.

I broke down today and called my knife supplier. With any luck I'll have more stuff added my never ending list when the new knife shows up.

Edit to add, this would be great to run on my 4 side moulder if I had worked on it and it was functioning.

I was blown away when @don long casually dropped "So, I called my neon guy" in a post a few years back.

Now, here you are with "I called my knife guy" for a custom planer knife.

What's next? :dunno:

That would be awesome!

The picture measures 24x30" and the canvas frame is about 3/4" thick.

Would your profile work for this?
picture frame.JPG

Not really, that profile is really just for matted pictures. The rebate on the back that needs to fit the glass, picture, matting and backer is only about 3/8" deep.

For a canvas it needs a substantially thicker profile. Something closer to this.

That frame is actually just a bolection moulding with a backband. In fact it's the profile from Neil above.

The angled rabbet for the glass/picture on the knives is what through me off. Thanks for the pictures to show how it's angled off of the wall.

Once I finish these cabinets I intend to use up some of the scraps taking over my shop for picture frames and cutting boards. Thanks for all of the inspiration.

Found a old picture that shows the angle better. Like crown it needs held at the spring angle if you don't want to figure out the compound miter angle. 20200405_092737.jpg

Thanks @jar944

One would think that a stock profile would be available for picture frames.....

They have a couple they call frame moulding (3/4" by 3/4")

Looks like you can get more typical profiles from framing suppliers. I'm guessing there just isn't a market? Or all the little framing shops are just a front for bigFrame controlling the market.

@larry4406 did you notice the new 2026 tax assessments? I about choked. My place had a 65% jump.
WOW!

I just looked on-line. Ours had almost 22% increase. My friend in Marshall, his place went up 35%.

My wife had told me that our monthly payment had gone up due to tax escrow increase.

I wonder if the assessment will jack up again when I get the final inspection on the master bath addition.

I'm expecting a millage rate reduction, to match and frankly will be really irritatied if they don't.

How are you planning on obtaining a rate reduction?

County hiked the tax rate this past summer to meet their budget from what little read this morning.

I assume they will reduce the rate since (also a assumption) the entire county assessment likely went up by 30-40%. They did the same last time, though the county wide assessment went up 20+% and the rate dropped less than the increase (shocker). Though they increased the rate every year after so the rate in 2025 was the same as 2021.

I disputed the 2016 assessment, and managed a 50% reduction of the assessment increase. Not sure how likely that is this time.

I went and looked on-line and pulled the tax data into excel. Several years there were no change for me. We bought the place in 2014. Wish my income rose like the tax graph. The early spike and reduction was when we demo'd the garage and had it taken off the tax roll; didn't last long.

We are rural (you were here) and not a lot of comparable homes as we are not in a subdivision.

Similar jump this year. The drop was the crash.

I assumed everyone had a knife guy? If don't you should get one..😆

I've known Neil for about 7 years. https://www.instagram.com/mttoolco?igsh=MTVnaXp4azgxM2U3dA==


This was the first knife he ground for me (which happens to be the panel mould profile of the wainscoting) IMG_20190326_221526_567.jpgIMG_20190329_145813_530.jpg
So you have a knife guy and I am excited about finally getting a 1/2" shank router :)

Anytime I'm feeling smug about my tool collection I just drop in here for a real quick piece of humble pie.

Had a bit of a ebay buying spree a couple weeks ago, and added 6 additional shaper heads.

4&6" four knife thin knife heads and a 8" (10" with knives) raised panel head20260327_215717.jpg

Another 4" thin knife head
20260323_101035.jpg

Edging/rebate head. I think this was a prefilled head out of a edge badger, alternating shear cuts toward center for no tear out on either face. Screenshot_20260324_092747_Gallery.jpg

And a 4"x4" dual hook corrugated head

would you mind sharing prices for heads like those? I have no clue what to expect, primarily because I have no clue about quality, etc.

I bought those because they were cheap, or rare (or both) all were between $60 and $125

The 4x4 corrugated head (from titan) retails for a bit over 450

And the raised panel head depending on where it's from (that one isn't made any more) is also expensive (this example isn't great as rangate is excessively priced) and thrbhead is a leitzScreenshot_20260410_164649_Chrome.jpg

We learned pretty quick to always remove the canopy cover at night in the desert. Even the daytime can get crazy. Every time we've been to Willow Springs there's at least one team chasing their Easy Up across the paddock.

I take it down if it's windy, it was dead calm last night.. right until it wasn't apparently.

Looks like 8am got me
