treesner Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 How do you hold in the photo on the backside of a picture frame? I just screwed these in so you can twist them to hold pressure down on the cardboard backing but figure someone has a better solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chestnut Posted December 21, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I have used these quite often. but i generally try and make the frame so the materials and backing are almost flush with the back of the frame so it will hold them. Otherwise you could use nails or a picture frame point driver. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I use this and really like it!

gee-dub Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 That is a cool solution treesner. I too use "turns". I use keyhole slots to hang. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I’ve had the Fletcher framemaster for about 20 years and really like it, I have used nails that I squeeze in with a channel lock pliers using a scrap to protect the outside of the frame. the glazers points used to hold in glass also work if the fit of the backer board is close, just push them in with a putty knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted December 22, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 For slightly larger frames, I use 4 fender washers, recessed into forstner holes that overhang the rabbet in the frame. Grind a flat on one side of the washer, so when turned correctly, the flat is flush with the rabbet and the artwork drops in. Turn the washer to lock it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick LoDico Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Another Logan user here. The ease of use and speed makes it much better than the other methods I've used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I used to do a lot of picture and custom art frames. I use one of these - work great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 If making more than a couple frames, or if you ever expect to make more, a point driver really is a worthwhile tool. Logan here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I don’t like points for frames that get reloaded annually. I prefer the swivel tabs shown above. These often require some paper shimming to get proper tension to hold the swivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These often require some paper shimming to get proper tension to hold the swivel. This is a good point (pardon the pun). When reloading photos, I often just pull the points out and then reshoot new ones. To be honest, though, I don't see this happening too often for the average person. When its custom art work, i have never removed/replaced the originally framed art. Some custom framers go one step farther and use gum backed paper to keep out dust and insects.

I think I would just drill down a couple spots with a forstner bit then use a double washer so it pivoted out over the photo area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like that style better than the fully flat ones that are more traditionally seen in frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bankstick Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Chestnut, where do you get them? FWIW, Hobby Lobby is about three miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Amazon but that's because i'm lazy. Hobby lobby probably has them i just couldn't be bothered to take the time to look, especially when amazon comes strait to my door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
