Hi!
I was thinking about making my own frames for artwork that is on 24" x 48" x 1/2" birch plywood.
I looked for manufactured frames this size but cannot find any that do not cost more than what I could sell the art work for. LOL!
So I was considering making my own.
Lee Valley has an Economical Mitre Box ($49.90) that I was hoping would do the job. I know they have better ones but I don't want to spend a lot on something that I will probably only ever use to make frames.
I am not sure if the one they have will do for what I want to do though.
As I stated above the frames will have to accomodate a 24" x 48" x 1/2" plywood sheet.
Here is the Mitre Box:

Would this serve my purpose?
Thanks in advance,
James :)
