Many thanks Mark, I will have a look!

Many thanks for the replies, that looks like a great set-up prospero.
I may well have a go and let you know how I get on.

Sorry, this probably should have been posted in General Discussion!

Hi All,
I have just seen this in the Lion catalogue and wondered if anyone had had any success in using a, relatively cheap, mitre saw measuring kit with a medium priced mitre saw? I recon that around £100.00 for the Logan Saw Fence Kit plus £ 250.00 for a medium mitre saw (Dewalt/Makita) seems like ...

Problem Solved!
Thanks for the suggestion Justintime, there wasn't enough movement if I loosened the two bolts that hold the handle. I loosened the two nuts/bolts next to the cam nut and pulled the blades towards me, and retightened and all now fine! It my be useful for future reference.
Many thanks ...

Hi Justintime,
That sounds like a good possibility. I'll give it a try!!
Thanks

Hi pramsay13
Thanks for the response, I first noticed that I got a better cut years back and have just got into the habit of using the mountboard. It pushes the moulding back towards the blades by 1.5mm and the back edge gets a proper blade through it, rather than just grazing it without it. If I ...

Hi All,
I wondered if anyone out there can help, it may well have been covered before!
Cutting with my Morso, I can' get a clean cut on the back edge of the moulding without placing a strip of mountboard between the fences and the moulding. without this board the back edge cut is awful!
I have made ...

After many years of framing and using a mix of self adhesive and gummed tape, I have made the decision to use gummed tape on all my frames from now on. I came across this tape dispenser for the bargin price of
£ 22.29 inclusive of VAT and delivery.

I think I'm with you roboframer,

Cut a small oval recess and stick the sucker!

I am still thinking of the best option, I'll keep you posted. This could be one of those "on-going projects" ie. Work in Progress type jobs.

I think you know what I mean.

Hi prospero,

Unfortunately, the holes either end have been covered with a blob of paint!

Hi All

Following your very generous help on my last post, can anyone offer advice on this one.

I have been given a hand painted, blown, Lithuanian chickens egg to frame. Pic attached. (I think I must attract tricky jobs)

I have made up a small box for it (pic) and want to know how to mount the ...

This Oak moulding finished our new floor, where it met the stairs, very nicely!

Job Done! Thanks for your help, I put 6mm spacers in between the glass and back-board to give a real "Floating" effect. I attached it to the rear piece of glass with 2 tiny specs of dryish spraymount.

I think (hope) the customer will be well chuffed!

Wow!! And I thought I had problems!

It would be really interesting to see the framing method used.

Very good point pramsay13, back to the drawing board!!

Thanks for your comments, I was thinking of securing with cotton, the same colour as the lasercut, threaded through a small aperture in the back board. I do like the idea of the glass sandwich, this would look really effective! The customer did mention that she wanted a 3d effect. I think I will go ...

Hi All,

I just wondered if anyone out there has framed a Lasercut by Rob Ryan. If so, how did you attach to the back board?

Thanks, in advance.

Very funny featurepiece

Ha Ha, very good Robo
