13. The Formula (as a formula) Half the height of the frame or the sheet,

14. The Formula (as a formula) Half the height of the frame or the sheet, Minus the space between the taunt wire/saw tooth/lip of frame and top of frame itself,

15. The Formula (as a formula) Half the height of the frame or the sheet, Minus the space between the taunt wire/saw tooth/lip of frame and top of frame itself, Add that number to 56inches.

16. The Formula (as a formula) Half the height of the frame or the sheet, Minus the space between the taunt wire/saw tooth/lip of frame and top of frame itself, Add that number to 56inches. That number will equal the sweet spot – where you will mark the wall with an upside down “L”.

17. The Formula (as a formula) Half the height of the frame or the sheet, Minus the space between the taunt wire/saw tooth/lip of frame and top of frame itself, Add that number to 56inches. That number will equal the sweet spot – where you will mark the wall with an upside down “L”.

18. The Formula Why an upside down “L”? The horizontal line is the height of the nail on the wall. The vertical line is the number derived from the formula. The apex of those lines is where you hammer in your nail.

19. The Formula Why 56 inches? 56”, 58”, and 60” are numbers (the height from the floor actually) that equal what museum people call Eye Level. Eye level is roughly where a person of average height will see the middle of the artwork. I consider Eye Level an arbitrary set of numbers – but hey – you have to a starting point or a reference point to begin anything, right?

20. And other duties as assigned. The End.
