What is an interesting way to frame a large canvas board/panel?
Q. I have a 24x28 inch painting on canvas board. I can't afford to frame it professionally. Any DIY ideas on how to frame it? One interesting way I found here was to glue it to a large piece of metal as a quasi-frame.

A. If you're willing to put small grommets in the canvas, put one in each corner, then string from there to nails in the wall. Or you can make a wood frame & string from the grommets to it.

How do I make a 4x4 tile framed mirror or picture frame?
Q. I have the tiles and now I need to find out how I go about making a framed mirror with them. I also need to know how to make a framed picture frame. Both projects are being done for class projects for the school's annual auction. All the tiles have been painted by the children and look amazing. I want the finished product to do it justice.
Asked by roomwithaview - Mon Apr 14 13:12:44 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You would need to get some wood and cut it to the size of the mirror or frame. Attaching the pieces at the corners will be important. I would recommend 'pocket screws' for this. it will make cutting and fitting of the boards easy and the connection between them will be very strong. This kit will do fine for your project This picture shows you how the corners will go together you will likely use 1x4 boards which measure 3/4" thick and are 3 1/2" wide. If thats to skinny then get some 1x6 boards and have someone cut them to the width of your tiles. You want to pick the nicest boards you can. After your frame is built you will want to cut a rabbit in it to hold the mirror. This can be done with a router and a rabbiting bit.… [cont.]

How do I remove the frame around the in-door ice maker on my Kenmore refrigerator so I can replace the spring?
Q. The spring is broken; so the ice maker chute won't close properly. In order to get at the old spring I have to remove the frame around the ice maker on the exterior side of the door. But I can't figure out how to release the frame on the freezer section door. There must be some tabs somewhere on the back of the frame, but I haven't been able to figure out how to release them to get the frame off. I can slide putty knives under the frame but don't want to force it for fear of breaking the frame off. Does anyone know where the tabs are? Is there a website you're aware of that provides details for the DIY guy who doesn't know how to Do It himself?

What is the best BALANCED combined compression and tension resistant dual-frame structure?
Q. This type of frame can provide resistance to multiple, repetitive, and variations of physical force loadings, impacts and pressures/stresses/strain s. Combined means one frame of compression-primary resistance is combined with another frame that is tension-primary resistant. Since this type of frame system can handle both strengths and agilities of applied forces, it can be designed and assembled for any strength criteria. These dual-frame systems exist, but are not currently common in the Construction Industry.

I replaced the frame on my bike with a used frame but never received the title. What can I do to make legal?
Q. I recently rebuilt my honda magna using a used frame purchased on ebay. A title was supposed to be included with the sale but was never received. The VIN number on the old title does not match the VIN on the new frame. I am not planning on selling this bike anytime soon but would like to have a legal title anyhow. Is there anything I can do about this situation. If it matters I live in Michigan.

EDIT: Farrah Fawcett.. you mean like this: Cause I'm pretty sure that her hair is framed.. and curled away from her face. However, I would not attempt this style for it is from the 80s. And, if you mean Meredith Grey like this: Then, she has her face framed with some sidebangs.. and it looks like one layer, unless its the way her hair has fallen over her shoulder. I suggest that you bring in a picture of what you want your hair to look like into the salon. It works wonders.. and then the stylist can figure out what you mean, without the fancy terminology.

What is the difference between a crossover and an SUV built on a car frame?
Q. I called the Acura dealer about the Acura RDX, and they said that the RDX is a crossover, and it is built on a car frame. I also called the Volvo dealer about the Volvo XC-90, and they said that it is built on a car frame, but it is an SUV (not a crossover). I always thought that an SUV is built on a truck frame, and any vehicle that resembles an SUV built on a car frame is a crossover. How is it that the Volvo XC-90 is still classified as an SUV even though it is built on a car frame? What other criteria are there for a vehicle to be classified as a crossover besides being an SUV-resembling vehicle built on a car frame?

There are over forty SUVs and almost thirty Crossovers that make up this segment. When PIN reported that SUVs were on the long tooth side of the dealers lot they were being kind to SUVs. SUVs have actually been on the dealers lot for almost ninety days - that s over two years in dog years and when a vehicle has been on a dealers lot that long it is no longer man s best friend.

How do I frame and mount a small painting in oils done on canvas paper?
Q. This will need to be fixed to some sort of board first, I am sure, but how do I do this? What type of board would be best (hardboard maybe?) and what adhesive should be used which will not spoil the picture? Once done how long would it take the adhesive to dry before I should put it all in a frame? Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Asked by Peggy - Wed Aug 12 11:27:22 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You're correct. The painting will need to be "floated" or adhered to a piece of hardboard first. (A couple coats of gesso on the hardboard will help prevent leaching of any oils in the board onto your paper over time). You can fix the paper to the board with any quality glue that is suitable for use with wood and paper - drying time may be up to 24 hours. Then mount the hardboard and paper in a frame, preferably under glass. Paper is not the ideal support for oil paints so careful handling is required. I really would suggest taking the painting to a local craft store if this process is unfamiliar to you. The cost will be relatively low for a small painting.

How do you keep you bed frame from moving?
Q. I have wood floors in my room and my bed is only a bed frame with no head or foot board. Every other night I have to push my bed back up toward the wall because it slides on the floor about 2 inches. I always end up with my pillow down between the wall and the bed. Is there anything I can get from walmart or target that I can put on the bottom or in front of the feet of the bed frame to keep it from moving? I forgot to add, the bed is not on wheels it is on flat footing.
Asked by Aunt Bobo - Wed Apr 15 10:18:26 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. While adding the rubber on the feet MAY help, I still think your bed would slide. I have the same bed frame and my floors are also slippery. I have a wooden chest at the foot of my bed, and that keeps it in place and it also looks nice. So if its in your budget, maybe get something like that. It looks nice, helps so the bed doesnt slide, and also its a good place for storing personal items or even extra blankets or pillows. If thats not something your interested in, maybe theres something else that youd like to put at the foot of your bed.

A. A switch uses the MAC address to make forwarding decisions. Switches use a MAC address table that stores the MAC address it has learned and the ports that they were learned from. When a packet comes into a switch the switch looks at the destination MAC address then looks up that address in the MAC Address Table to get the port to send the packet to. depending on the switch, ports can belong to at least two vlans, one for data and one for voice traffic.

A. Open Windows Explorer, if you have Windows (I'm not sure what the equivalent is for an Apple Mac). Your digital frame should show up as an extra disk drive, when you click on the + next to My Computer. If you haven't added any drives this will be something like Removable Disk (E:). Next find your photos in My Pictures (click the + next to My Documents), or wherever else you stored them on the computer. Select the pictures, by clicking once. Don't release the mouse button, but drag the picture to Removable Disk (E:), then release it. If this doesn't work send me a message and I'll explain Plan B.
