Any frame builders got any tips or tricks for me? I know a table would make more sense but I just have got the space at the moment

What type of frame are you trying to make? If it's a stretcher they are best with very specific joints which require a special router blade to cut. You can make frames that don't 'rack' under tension but they need to be pretty thick. Stretchers normally have a rounded edge so the tensioned canvas doesn't touch the stretcher bar.
-
I need to buy some lengths of pine and some router then to create to “male” then.
I’ve put some diagonals in but that’s not going to enough support to stretch a canvas
-
What special router blade?
-
I’ve got the bits for the outer frame. But not the cross pieces so will need to make those.
-
Finally managed to build a frame. Pure impatience meant I did the frame first then the cross member second. Idiot. Next time crossmember first.

hello LFGSSers, my friend is running a short online evening art history course and asked me to tell people about it. She is a great, great teacher:
This new course explores the impact of identity politics on the practice and curation of visual art from 1965 to the present.
We’ll be taking a closer look at artworks informed by feminism, anti-racism, post-colonialism, class and labour advocacy, LGBTQ+ and disability rights as well as their intersections. These works often represent the artist’s authentic life experiences to counter and interrogate stereotypes, leading to innovations in both the subject matter and form of art.
Such innovations also include the varied forms of activist art, direct action and public intervention aimed at combatting the systematic exclusion of minorities from culture. Activism has informed the re-writing of art history, the curation of exhibitions and the expansion of collections.
Though ‘identity politics’ is a contentious term, students will examine its origins and the contemporary intersectional politics that follow on from it, moving beyond the tokenism that merely extends existing canons, aiming instead to question the very value systems that underpin them.
