What's a chop?
A chop is a picture frame molding that has it's corners all mitered
and cut, to any size you require. Then the four frame sides are sent
to you, for you to put together. This is the exact same way that almost
all picture frame shops buy their moldings. Now you too can order the
picture frame moldings the same way, many at prices LESS than what a
professional picture framer would pay for these chops. To put them together
is easy using our methods,
How
To Make Picture Frames.
Why Chops!
Chops are the absolute best way to order picture frames! They pack and
ride well without getting damaged and it is far cheaper than shipping
big boxes containing frames all put together. Buying chops allows you
to order any size frame you need! This is the exact same way that 95%
of the professional frame shops order their picture frame moldings to
make their own picture frame, now you can do the same thing. It would
be a very foolish move for a frame shop to stock thousands of feet of
picture frame molding, many of which may not sell. There is also at
least a twenty percent waste factor in length molding, and it costs
a great deal to ship long boxes of picture frame molding via truck freight.
By ordering chops, a frame shop does not have any inventory to stock
! We also put picture frames together for those who do not wish to do
so.
Is It Hard To Put The Frames Together!
No, not if your even a little bit handy with using a hammer. We have
thousands of people putting our frames together. The corners are mitered
on a chopper which is set to cut the corners at exactly 45 degrees.
This chopper uses very thick and heavy steel blades to cut the moldings
It is like a big knife, not a saw, there are no saw blades. Using the
links above you can read all about how to put our picture frame moldings
together just exactly the same way a professional picture framer puts
pictures together. A professional shop putting together lots of pictures
uses a professional v nailing machine. But there are dozens of small
professional shops all over the country that just glue and pound in
the v nails with a hammer, you to can do the same thing. Please read
the links above about building frames.
