If this is your first visit to my blog, you may want to begin reading the blog post titled "A BRIEF INTRO" and then follow with subsequent postings. "Stretching the canvas" is a two person job. Much thanks to Cody for helping me out with this chore. The canvas was stapled to the back of the lumber 1 x 2's. I manned the canvas pliers while Cody stapled, making sure that the canvas is wrapped very tightly. We worked from the middle out constantly rotating the stretcher. Then the gesso, which is a thick priming type material, was applied in two thick coats with time for drying in between. Then the canvas is sanded lightly to a smooth finish.
