Tools & Techniques > Woodworking > How to Make Picture Frames

Learn how to make your own picture frame using solid poplar wood.

Miter one end of all four pieces of frame, essentially making the first cut on each freehand. Next, butt the mitered end up against the stop block, reset the miter blade in the opposite direction at a 45-degree angle, and cut the other end of all four pieces. If you are making a rectangular frame (rather than a square), remember to change the stop block position to the correct length for the other two frame members.
