Up until the last 3 floater frames for canvas, I struggled to figure out how to calculate the cut length for the floater frame. Lets say for example, the width of the floater moulding is 3/8" and I want a 1/4" space between the frame and the canvas, whose size is 18" x 36".
My question is: what method or formula would you use to get the correct cut size for length and width?
To me, the answer was not intiutive, but I finally figured out. However, I have to admit on previous attempts, I resorted to cutting the board longer, then cutting it down, a bit at a time, till I got the right gap -- this method doesnt work well. I also resorted to making a small test sample frame and using the measurements from that.
