Building the Frame of a Kids Art Easel

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Jon on behalf of Expert Village in this video clip we'll be cutting out the rest of our frame pieces as I start laying out my side I'm going to add just a little bit more stability behind this piece so I'm going to put a cross member piece located at the top and part way down my piece. So that when I place my backing piece on it's just a little more stable, now those cross member brace pieces are going to be 4" wide X 16" long, I'm going to need 4 of those and that's going to come out of the rest of my oak board. First I cross cut my pieces to 16 then I use the joiner to clean up one edge, then I rip each piece once to 4 1/32 after that I use the joiner again on the remaining piece as you clean it up. Once that's done I rip my last 2 pieces and lastly I use the joiner again on all 4 of my pieces to take off that 1/32 and clean up that edge, and now my pieces are finished."
