1) Remember,   that the saw blade itself will "eat" 1/8" of the board at each cut! Before commencing verify that the boards are at least 49"x 97" and NOT 48"x 96". Though the diagrams don't show it, there will always be a little scrap (about an inchor so) left over.
2) All measurements are "clear".
3) Framing size allowance is only 1/16",  too large and it won't fit into a standard frame, too small and the board will fall out of the frame.
4) Be certain that all cuts are square. Use 1/8" thickness for boards cut up to 20"x 30". Larger than this will require  3/8" thick boards to prevent warping while painting.
5) Max recommended size for masonite boards for painting is about 36"x 48". Larger than this would required bracing as the board will tend to warp .All sizes are for standard American sized frames.
6) Board will require minimum 2 layers undiluted gesso or 4-6 layers if diluted. Apply as demoed in class.
7) Normally we designate framing sizes using the smaller number first. ie:  18"x 24". When designating sizes to finished paintings, the vertical is always listed first. In photography and computer work the horizontal is always designed first. For the purposes of this table only the VERTICAL WILL ALWAYS BE THE FIRST NUMBER.
