You need to cut 2 times the width of the inset. I used 1/4 inch inset and had to make my lengths 1/2 inch longer. So for a 20 inch side, I cut it at 20 1/2 inches long Jason, great questions it took me forever to figure it out. You need to cut 2 times the width of the inset.

And I am having trouble cutting my miters to the correct size for my pictures; I just can’t seem to measure correctly for the cut. Like for a 10x12 photo what be the cut length or how to measure for the cut. Thank you I am just getting re started in wood working after 18 years since High School.

Push sticks should be used to keep fingers a minimum of 3" away from the cutters. I would expect Woodsmith to teach safe shop practices.

I do a good deal of needlework and would like to be able to frame it myself. This mitre sled would make it a breeze. Besides, my husband might even let me use his table saw if he thought there was less of a chance I could do anything to mess it up. Thanks, Paula Turano Joel,

I've made frames but I never thought of using copper strips like that. The only problem I saw was that this was some of the scariest tablesaw and router table use I've ever seen on a video. His fingers were so dangerously close I couldn't help but cringe. No guards, no push sticks, nothing to protect his hands in any way if the wood were to suddenly get kicked back. Safety glasses would've been nice too. I'm just not brave enough to EVER put my fingers that close to a spinning blade or bit. I hope nobody new to woodworking watches this and thinks that what he was doing was in any way safe or smart, from a safety standpoint. I've never seen a better example of when to use a good pushstick. Bruce That was a very informative video for people who’ve never made frames before.
