Attaching the canvas
10.
(A)
Stand up your frame and push it against a wall. Lean your particle board
canvas from Part One inside of the frame legs. They should be pressed against the
support legs on each side, with about a 4in gap between them.
(B)
From the back end of the horizontal frame legs, measure and mark 17.25in (43.8cm) out on
each. Angle the canvases, so that the inside of the angle is on the 17.25in line and the top of the
canvas is flat against the bottom beam. Attach to the canvases to the horizontal frame legs with
two
long wood screws
2in long wood
screw
(C)
Attach the top of the canvases to the bottom beam using three evenly spaced
screws
on each.

Drew's Note: WARNING: This frame is
designed to lean against a wall for
safety. If it is not against a wall, it could
tip over. For added safety, you can
toenail one of the vertical frame legs
into a stud or use an L-bracket (not-
included), similar to what you would
for an oven safety bracket. Look for a
stand-alone update coming soon.
