    Do you have any idea of what everything cost you to make the frame? Even an estimate would be good! This seems like a wonderful idea to keep the weight off your hands and shoulders. You are only moving the machine that glides on something that you can move right or left and up and down. Is this correct? Thank you for doing this for us! You need to patent it for sure.

    Nail and glue 2 - 1x2” together to form an L.
    Nail and glue 1- ½”x½” to form a track.
    Repeat for the other side.
    Make sure that you check your carriage wheels in the tracks. You don’t want them tight. You just want them as a guide.
    Join together at the ends with 1x2”x2’.

    I made the side pieces with the scraps. If you’re using the Flynn frame you need to put everything together and set your machine on the carriage. Put the frame in the machine then you can measure how long you need to cut your side pieces. I guess you could measure from the table up to the top of your machine and get the same measurements. But you need to know where to mount your side pieces. So put your frame in and make sure your carriage is as far back as it will go then slide your frame forward to the needle. Now mark on the side of your frame where you want to put your side pieces. Attach your side pieces with nails and glue or screws. Attach the frame to your table with the 2 clamps. There you have it!

    Hope this explains ok.

    I took these pics after I made it but I hope it helps.
    Do you have a pattern for the flynn frame side pieces or how do we make them I dont understand ?

    Default Still using this frame?

    This tutorial is from over a year ago- are you still using the frame? Any updates or modifications that have improved your design?! By any chance could you post a few more pics- namely of the end pieces? I don't have the pre-made frame you used, but would be interested in buying one to help me construct this! Thanks!
