Need to Ship a Large Painting??? Let's Build a Shipping Crate!!!

Hey there!!! I started building my own shipping crates a few years ago for my large paintings to keep them safe. Why? Oh boy... So, this is a tragic story involving an original painting and my naivety when it came to shipping large scale paintings. Long story short, the painting was packed in cardboard with lots of packing material but was completely damaged in transit. And when I say damaged, I mean it looks like it had been in a battle with a Samurai. Something (I don't know what) had gone straight through the box, packing material, and unfortunately the painting. It had been impaled. Luckily, I had insured the package and the customer got a full refund. Needless to say, I was wary of shipping original artwork after that. One month later, I was commissioned to paint a large-scale portrait for someone on the west coast. I live on the east coast and was reasonably concerned about shipping this painting. I was not about to repeat what happened the month before. So, I decided to start building my own wooden shipping crates for my large pieces. In this video I teach you how you can build a sturdy shipping crate for artwork and hopefully you can avoid having a shipping tragedy like the one that happened to me. Materials: 1/4 inch plywood 1x3 wood planks 3/4 inch pipe insulation 1 1/4 inch exterior screws Angle clamp Drill Important notes: When cutting plywood, increase the length and width 3 inches to your painting i.e., for a 30x40 inch painting, cut the plywood to 33x43 inches to account for the interior dimensions. 1x3 wooden planks have a 3/4-inch thickness so for a 33x43 inch crate you would want to have two planks cut to 43 inches and two planks cut to 31.5 inches.
