Spare Some Money With DIY Grooving
If you have over sized pictures or paintings and you don't want to spend a million to have them professionally framed, this instructable is for you.
It would save you quite a bit even if your pictures aren't that much oddly sized or you have some 4mm masonite boards to recycle...
Marking
Measure 2.5 cm from the margin (distance depends on the clip model you have at disposal), where you wish to have your framing clips.
Get Your "Dremel Work Station" or Anything Else Similar
Set the inclination on 45°
Grooving
Get your silicon carbide or diamond blade bit and set the machine on about 3/4 maximum speed,
Lowering the shaft through the lever, and sliding slowly the board, make a straight groove into the masonite backing panel; don't cut too deep....
Groved
It could look even better than this...it depends on your handy skills.
Clip!
Cut either glass or perspex to the sizes you need and...clip everything together!
Should the clip result a bit loose, bend it a bit by hand and re clip it.
Enjoy
Done!!
