to fit pre cut glass i'll get to the point everytime Itry to cut the
frame to suit the glass it is all way eather too short or long is there
a simple way to do this
I was gonna pass on this, then realized that if I can't find
ready-made frame, I'm gona have to make one.
So, did a bit of searching, and have posted three plans, in
separate threade (more people can run across them that way). I would
suggest your local library also.

Too long isn't a problem and is a good way for a novice to do it.
Intentionally cut your pieces too long (just by a little) and then "sneak
up" on the proper length by slowly reducing the length with multiple cuts to
each piece. I've been working wood for years and I still sneak up on lengths
for some things, particularly miters for frames that have very small
tolerances for error.

This is not really different than cutting pieces for a frame that would fit
a picture.....
Measure and cut from the spot that the glass or picture has to fit into. Be
sure to take into account and subtract the width of the part of the frame
that the glass or picture will recess into.

Yeah, and don't you just hate it when you shave off 1/32" too much on the
fifth sneak?
