How to Make a Picture Frame

My name is Amitavh Bhattacherji. I'm speaking of behalf of Expert Village, and I represent my company Abstract Frames and Supplies Private Limited, Calcutta, India. Here you will see the hanging system, which is then fixed at the back of the frame. It is screwed to the back of the frame and a non-stretchable synthetic chord is used. Because, if it is stretchable, then the picture will slowly go down. But this is a non-stretchable synthetic chord, which is then fixed at the two hangers with a little bit of space in case somebody requires his frame to go lower or upper, there's a little bit of extra chord put on two ends. This, basically, is a complete picture frame. After we have cut the glass, the glass also comes as a sheet 120 by 100 centimeters length and breadth. From that we have cut our glass to the size of the picture. Once the mat is complete, this outside size of the mat is used to cut the glass and the back. As I have explained earlier, that the glass and the back are to the outside size of the mat. Thank you.
