SGF, Supreme Grumble Framer
A customer called this morning. Is bringing in some kind of slate artwork for framing. I think he said it was about 40 lbs.
I've heard a lot about strainers on the grumble, and I think I have an idea how they are constructed, but even less about how they are attached and used. So a few questions, and feel free to add answers if I'm missing some questions.
1) Does the strainer attach to the artwork, or the frame?
2) Does it fit inside the rabbet behind the art, or beyond the rabbet behind the frame? If inside the rabbet, do I size it to fit snugly into the rabbet opening?
3) Is it best to mitre the corners and join with glue and vnails, or some other type of joint?
Thanks for the help.
