Has anyone made a "Lebron" stretcher frame? I'm looking at one in the Decor Framer's Woorkbook. Does it really work? Is it worth the effort? The instructions seem to lack some details. I need to make a 2in. deep stretcher for a canvas that will not be framed and don't want to use the pre fab type that slide together as the corners seem weak and tend to "butterfly". If the tight joint fastener is placed near the back of the frame will it properly expand the front? I'm thinking of adding an extra dowel towards the front of the stretcher for strength and stability. Good idea? Others? Thanks, Terry
