Who is that smart looking bloke in the picture?
I’ve been wanting to do something like this project for quite some time as my wife loves pictures and every time she wants to hang another she buys a frame and I always tell her that I can make that……….now I will be able to! Great one!
I miss speaking with you in person and hope that you will be making a trip to the Woodworking Shows in the states this year especially in Somerset, NJ where we first met.
thanks,

Now I can frame all the pictures I’ve taken all over the world.
Minor typo – the video says ‘rebate plane’ not picture frame..!
Thank you for the heads up Richard. Now corrected.
