Frame making was a pleasure for me and used to be a great agony for me. What I don't like is the spring-loaded metal strip holder. The thing hits me in the arm and is difficult to use anywhere. Second, it takes some effort to put it on the frame. It's not that easy because you're constantly adapting. All in all, I can create something in a short amount of time, get everything in order, and make a really polished product. Anything I don't like about it pales in comparison to the value it offers. Whether you are making canvases for painting, picture frames, windows, or working with wood, this thing makes the whole experience really joyful.
