thank you for putting this up for us! i'm gonna start building my own stretcher bars... i bought premade stretcher bars for an 18x24 canvas from the local art store that my teacher said i HAD to buy from. $42 later (plus $20 for the canvas), i'm feeling incredibly ripped off now : (

Exactly what I was about to look for ! I've had canvas lying around my bedroom for some time, and was about to try and figure out how to do the myself !
Thank you !

For a small investment, I would add a pair of canvas pliers. They make getting a good tight stretch a lot easier and if you're going to do many canvases they keep the strain on the hands down. Also I've found the best way to get a good even stretch is to start at the center of each side, then go to the opposing side and working with a few staples at a time out to the corners.

dude, as tutorials go this one was spot on. sound info with some good 'action' shots. XD
gotta admit tho, im too lazy to go to this much effort, therfore, i use cardboard! the lazy and cheapskate way around canvas problems. XD
