Making picture frames or mirror frames is the perfect starting project for the new woodworker. Picture and mirror frames encompass a wide assortment of hand and power tools. The projects are, in general, physically small, so a large woodworking shop is not a requirement. Picture and mirror frame building is a good educational project for the younger woodworker and makes an excellent gift.
