The Framers Forum

thanks guys...will consider putting my price up I think but not sure the customer would have paid £80 for the pleasure!

Ok...happy to do so. I think it is important to distinguish between someone like me who uses photoshop daily as a result of the photography side of the business and a professional photo restoration expert. I have to balance the time taken to restore something against what I could be making on a fram...

Hi all, I wonder if there are many of us that offer digital photo restoration like this to clients and if so, how much you charge for such a service on top of the framing?

Cheers, Pete

It worked! Changed the blades, small cuts, black pad very low to moulding before the join....thanks for the advice everyone. http://www.aperturaphotography.com/wp-c ... s_9076.jpg

will do....many thanks

You say your blades are new within the year 2012 or 2011? if they are getting on for 12 months old then they need sharpening. Oak blunts blades in a flash. You need to keep you blades as sharp as possible. Your wedge positions seem fine. I would say it is because there is slight depression of the m...

FYI, I'm using a CS89, hard wood wedges (7s) with one at the very start of the join (inside edge), one 3/4 of the way along and one in the middle of those two.

Many thanks Richard for the advice.

If the face is open and the back of the cut is flat, then the blades are not at 90 deg to the moulding and since the blades are fixed then the moulding is tipping when it is cut, because of the resistance of the wood. How sharp are your blades? and how many bites are you taking to cut the wood? Tha...

Hi, I wonder if anyone could give any tips on cutting hard woods - something I don't often have customers ask for until recently. I'm having problems getting a accurate join. I'm using morso F to cut 137200000 ARQ Barefaced Oak Moulding. Am sure the morso is set up correctly as I have no problems wi...

Pete, I have a Facebook page for framing and a personal one but they seem tied together somehow, how do I seperate them? Do I need to set up a completely seperate Facebook account? Sorry about the 'help' question but you seem to know a great deal more about Facebook than I do! http://www.facebook.c...

love your baby photos - but what on earth is the point of a facebook page - surely a website is better - folk that see facebook already know you so ?? don't see the point . Hi Mike, Thanks for the compliment. Social media is very powerful advertising IMHO. I've only had a business facebook page for...

Hi all, For those that read my page on making framing on the web interesting (http://theframersforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7780), you will know that I'm a big fan of getting customers captured from the web. I wonder how many of you have a facebook business page? If you do, did you know that yo...

sorry about the problems viewing the videos. Seems like a problem with those that use firefox? I have changed the code for the embed and it is now working on my end in Chrome and Firefox. Thanks for the feed back and let me know if you are still having problems.

Haha! thanks for looking!

No problems here :D Could you explain how you made the spacer/shallow box for the shirt? I liked the way you incorporated it all into the glass package instead of gluing it into he rebate of the frame with the glass already in place. :?: Hi David. As I say, I'm new to this and this was my first rug...

thanks for letting me know....not been reported before with over 600 views....anyone else having problems?

Hi all, I hope you had a great Christmas. I'm relatively new to the world of custom frames but I think it is really important to engage with customers on the internet these days and video seems to be the most efective way. I thought I would share two video time-lapses that I have recently posted whi...
