Creative Inspiration: How to stretch a canvas...
This is awesome!
My wife is an ubber-cool artist and is always wanting to work with unique canvas sizes... but I didn't know how to build frames and stretch canvas to help her.
Thanks for the resource!
And... thanks for the awesome blog.
Keep up the great work!

Mitch,
Thank you so much! I was surfing around youtube one day and stumbled upon this video. I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Random tip: after you assemble the frame,instead of the metal square you can kinda push the frame into the corner of a doorway to make sure it's square... and keep rotating it and tapping it 'till it's square.
One of the cool things about stretching your own canvas is that you can use the heavy duty stretcher bars & there is no need for a frame.
Thank you again for the kind words and let me know how your canvas turns out
