[ Try giving Lyn Hall of Fringe Arts.Lyn's ideas on mount cutting and framing are very up to date and everything that she teaches you is very hands on. I have sent a few customers to her and always get a phone call back from them to say thanks for the recommdation. She will teach you the whole bit f...

Try Ruislip Frames in Ruislip high st.
Speak to Mick who owns the Gallery.He does excellent work.

Give Lion a ring.We do a lot of different sizes with glass And acrylic.

Why don"t you try Putting the D rings to form a triangle ie 1 on each side and then a D ring in the middle of the bottom length of the frame.Then thread the cord or wire through and tie it off. When the picture is then hung the weight is then spread. The weight of the picture will pull on the c...

Just come straight down the glass with the glass cutting head and I always found that if you tap the glass by spreading your index and second finger and thumb give the glass a sharp tap in the middle of the length you have just scored it should break clean so long as your scoring wheel is adjusted p...

I would certainly give Lyn Hall a ring at Fringe Arts.

Just a quick thankyou to everyone who made the effort to come to the Framers Event on the 25th.I know that some of the customers who turned out for the Event travelled literally a couple of hundred miles to get there and it was very much appreciated by all the staff at Lion South.

Be very careful when buying an underpinner on e.bay unless you know someone in the trade who can go along with you to have a good look at it.If you are looking to start a small framing business I would have a look at one of the Cassese Underpinners.They are well made and if looked after not much to ...

Ring Stewart James Dyke at Lion in Birmingham.He will tell you exactly what you will require.
