How do I make art canvas frames on a low budget? Which basic tools are required, and which wood is best to use
I need to make the frames with a view to stretching canvas over them, priming them and using them as artists canvasses, for paintings and the like.
Initually if you want to produce a lot of work at a low price
Go to the lumber yard and buy wood in bulk.
Buy the paint and Gesso in large buckets
Buy the canvas in a roll.
Get a staple gun.
If you just plan to do three or four small easel sized painting its better to buy them ready made.
