Pallet Resurrection Picture Frame

Found an old pallet laying around? Want to create a rustic looking frame with no complicated joints and no painting necessary?!
Well, this instructable will take old discarded pallet wood and turn it into a beautiful, funky, and vintage looking picture frame.

Two strips of 36" pallet boards

Table saw

Miter saw

Belt sander

Wood glue

Clamps

Glass and glass cutter

Matt and photograph

Glazing points

Cut the pallet strips into two 20" pieces using either the miter saw or table saw.

Rip the remaining pieces in half lengthways using the table saw. Cut 3.5", 4" and 5.5" pieces.

Use a sanding belt to create a v-groove appearance on both top edges of each pieces.

Using the table saw, rabbet each piece for 1/4" deep and wide to accept the glass, matt and photograph.

Put rabbets to the inside and align to the inside and square to the edge pieces.

Glue each piece to eachother and clamp the frame in place. The glue takes 20 minutes to dry. Remove any excess glue with a flat head screwdriver or credit card or wet towel.

Measure the inside of the rabbet and cut the glass 1/8 of an inch less than that. Cut the glass using glass cutters and ensure a square alignment.

After your matt and photograph is inside, add the glazing points using a strong flat tool to secure it (ex. putty knife or paint scraper)
