The Framers Forum

We in the trade, called that a linen tester.

Here’s a thing I shoplifted from that side of our shop, extremely useful, especially for splinters!

I think as long as it’s not Apple you’re fine

It’ll all be here and you can try the free version, which can be tailored to you and saved; you can’t do many things like order/customer history, print orders etc etc, but you can do a lot with screenshots

I used FramR but I never paid for it, it was factored in to my overheads within its own software; my customers paid for it, just as they would have were it any other sofware ..... or anything else.

Use glue fairly liberally, not lightly Set up the angles of the fences with set squares etc by all means but to get things bang on, the left hand fence may need fine adjustment - use the widest flat moulding you can find and cut it upside down and tweak the fence in our out, fractionally. Make a sma...

Nielsen

It’s Nielsen who gave me 35% discount , on wood length.
25% on mountboard bar one colour (igloo) which was 30

I’ve just checked and it’s all still there but it looks like they’ve stopped my credit terms though!

If I was closer we could split the discounts!

We started as "Angmering Framing" we lived in Angmering and we did framing - say what it does on the tin, we thought. Took over a shop called "Stitches" - so we became "Angmering Framing & Stitches" and that's what it said above the shop window, "Angmering"...

Is it Larson Juhl? It's funny, I've been retired two and a half years and can still log in to every account I had and see discounted prices up to 35%, bar Larson Juhl. It's hard to give advice on this sort of situation without knowing a good bit about someone's business, what amount of consumables c...

I never took deposits either, well, I would, but didn't ask for them ...... most of the time, and I'm not sure I would in this situation (if I've understood it properly) either. If a large job had to be done in batches - and assuming I didn't have to order a load of stock many months in advance and ...

It's not in the grumble manual library unless I missed it, so it'll probably need someone to scan their own. TFG would be grateful for it.

I prefer something you can cut on, you can wipe clean and is disposable/sacrificial. Lino was good but eventually got wrecked and I ended up using grey board covered in gkass interleaving paper. The paper was changed at least once a day and the board maybe once a week, it had come from being used as...

Attaching to the window mount isn't what you should be doing and "the usual" acid free tape is probably dubious too. You should normally use an undermount, hinged to the window mount and that's what the artwork is mounted to. so that negates your acid free paper. It can be 'T' hinged and t...

Artwork should be mounted to an undermount and the thickness. and quality will depend on the level of framing, but it should be sturdy enough for the size of the frame. The stuff in your link is 600 microns which is flimsy. It may be OK as an additional barrier if acidic backing board is used but th...

"it won't take over 15mm" should have read 10mm

I started with one too. Euro moildings went bust years ago, their HQ was a few miles from me in Worthing If you ever see a Morso that colour, it's one of theirs, they had the manufacturer spray them to match their underpinners! I used these V nails, it won't take over 15mm and I never tried smalller...

Yes, I posted that vid a few weeks ago for someone looking for training on fabric wrapping mounts; that’s what reminded me I had the DVD.

There’s four parts to the DVD, that vid shows the first one, maybe all four are on YouTube, I’ve not looked very hard.

I have Baer Charlton’s DVD from a course I did with him in Saratoga Springs in 2006. It’s probably all on YouTube but I can’t find it yet, plus this avoids all the adverts I did the course because nobody does this in uk If anyone would like to see if it’s for them I’ll send it, but I want it back as...

Well I hope that was useful!

Pineapple what?

I think the holes are from this type of clamp

Not a solution this time but for future ref. Prevention being better than cure, get a band clamp!
