Linen wrapped liners

Post by tinapetvi »

Hello.
Can someone explain me how to wrap a linen over the wooden liner. I tried to do it, but inside corners are not accurate.
I am a beginner in framing and would appreciate a lot if you guys can give me some advise.

Thanks, Tina

It's usually best to cover the liner before cutting to size on a morso or guilotine rather than a saw, that should give you a better finish on the corners.

Hi and Welcome Tina. :D

You might want to try asking on the US Forum - http://thegrumble.com/forumdisplay.php?3-The-Grumble

Wrapping liners seems to be a way of life over there. It's not so popular in the UK.

Are you trying to wrap a joined liner, or the four indivdual legs before they're joined?
