Fingers crossed I'll be awash with football shirts again this year

fLAT HEAD vS PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS ANYONE ?
Come on everyone, a quick straw poll...
Flat head screws or Phillips, what do you use ?
I use flat head but after 25 years of fastening D-rings on the back of frames I'm starting to ask myself why I don't use Phillips screws ...
Genuinely interested,
Bagpuss

Re: 2 Chevron Towers
Hi David, hope you are keeping well. These look in very good condition, I had the 8 sided Nielsen a couple of years ago, great for getting a lot of chevrons on display if you havent got a lot of floor space
See you at the Guild BBQ on the 22nd David ?

Hi, much to my embarrassment, I have never framed football boots ... there, I said it, so embarrassing. :oops: Below is a photo of the mount and how I need them displayed ( signatures on show ), I'm creating a shadow box but need to attach boots to a back board, I was thinking perhaps through the la...

Taking Photos Remotely from Ceiling mounted camera ?
Are there any digital camera enhusiasts out there ? Years ago I setup a Canon Powershot on the ceiling and linked it with a cable to my laptop, the Canon software allowed me to zoom in with the lens and take pictures whilst viewing the picture on screen, great idea but bit messy with trailing cables...

Re: Spring Fair
Hadn't seen this posting before Christmas, I just discovered today that neither LION or D.J. Simons will be there, what a shame,
I'll be there though, I'm visiting a friend that weekend in Sutton Coldfield so thought I'd pop in and have a mooch round, it gets me out of the house ...

Tower of London Poppy to frame, anyone else ?
I had a customer call today to say he had ordered a ceramic poppy from the Tower of London display. He asked if I could do a 3 sided glass box/frame, I'm going to try and talk him out of this idea, I was wondering if anyone else had been approached about one of these poppies ?

Re: Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
Offset the whole cost of the car? :shock: Maybe I need to stick a business card in the window and get back on to my accountant. I bought this car 2 years ago and I thought then that my logo would look good on the wide flat doors, not too sure why I left it so long though, it's a funny looking littl...

Logo on the car, FINALLY !!!
I can't believe it's taken me quite so long but I finally pulled my finger out, got in touch with a local car graphics company and today picked up my little Toyota with my logo on it, it's not perfect but it's a great first attempt :clap: It's all vinyl cut and I was amazed at the detail on the logo...

I have just done a search in the forum about mounting cigarette cards, couldn't quite find what I wanted, hence this post. I don't frame a lot of cigarette cards but recently I have had a few. Cutting the mount is not a problem with the CMC but the customer wants to see the reverse of the 50 cards i...

Well I finally finished it off and although it was a bit of a pain to do and probably under priced, I'm quite pleased with it ( see below ). I decided against a foamcore cove box, I actually built a wooden tray for the 2 clay plates, I threaded wire through the plate hangers already on the plates, t...

Thanks ever so much for all your thoughts on this, there seems to be quite a number of options doesn't there ?
