Re: pics of frame notches

bagged74, something just looks odd with your notch. from the pics, especially the first one, it looks like one side goes up, and the other goes down. was this intensional?

i've never done a notch, so disregard my ignorance, but shouldn't they look pretty much the same on each side?

its an optical illusion from the picture. It does look that way though now that you mention it.

Re: pics of frame notches

I would say 3/16. I didn't do the notch way but i would imagine that 3/16 boxed is plenty strong.
