Anyone know of a cheap place online to purchase picture frames?

[Mears]

I have a 32x24 art print that I'd like to frame. Custom frame shops locally want an arm and a leg to build a frame. I found a site online a while ago that allowed you to buy the pieces and then assemble them, but that option went away once the frame reached the size I require. Has anyone purchased a frame online? I really don't want to spend $100-$200 for for $5 worth of wood.

If you're moderately handy with handtools, I expect you can build a nice frame from molding from Lowe's or Home Depot. The most expensive part would probably be the glass pane.

That's PRECISELY what I do - except lexan instead of glass. glass is heavy. glass breaks. glass sucks.

The "Cheap Frame" site doesn't have frames that are big enough.

I did find one site that has "reasonable" prices ($75 not counting shipping): http://www.framesbymail.com/cgi-bin/frames_custom

If anyone is interested, I found this article on how to build them using molding: http://www.popularmechanics.co...01.html?page=1&c=y
