In case you were wondering what a large bundle of wood mouldings looked like

approx 40 lengths of raw wood, unfinished moulding for sale - 10' and 8' lengths plus offcuts mix of obeche, oak, ash, pine - mostly from Rose & Hollis, some from Wessex all in perfect condition Just want to get rid of it now - any offer considered I'm based in Bishop's Stortford - buyer collect...

I still have quite a lot of full length raw wood mouldings for sale if anyone's interested. Can do a great price if you're interested in taking the lot. Must be 30 lengths or so, probably cost me £500+. Mostly obeche, quite a bit of ash and some oak. All good stuff.

And another thing...

Record 042 rebate plane - £100
This is an amazing tool for anyone needing to modify mouldings, in particular creating new or widening existing rebates. A real pleasure to use, Record is the brand you want for this sort of thing.

Steel band clamp also for sale. Big, strong, springy - perfect for gluing up frames. £25 + postage

yes, it's very cheap! I just want to get rid of this stuff now and get on with other things. The underpinner is only a couple of years old, and apart from a few cosmetic signs of wear it's in perfect condition. It's a pleasure to use - once you get used to it loading the v nails is quick enough - an...

Morso is sold now Guns look like they'll be sold shortly Keencut Ultimat 48" still available at present - £500 also Alfamachine Minigraf A2M-200 foot operated underpinner - £300 Both machines in perfect working order, neither has seen that much use to be honest. And still have moulding availabl...

just to clarify the Keencut is the 48" model

I think £500 for the keencut gold is a fair price, it's not seen that much use and is in perfect working order. If you're interested please make me an offer.

Point guns? £30 each for the framers point gun, flexipoint gun and multipoint. Please note that postage would be extra.

Wouldn't have got anywhere without this forum. Wishing you all well with your endeavours. All my kit is for sale, btw, have a...

Hi Gus
Totally happy to split. Do you want to pop round, see what I've got? As a hand finisher, you might like quite a lot of the odds and sods I've collected. 07776206016.

Betterpackages BP333 plus manual gum tape dispenser for sale. This is one of those one-arm-bandit style machines which dispenses a pre-determined length of brown gum tape, all ready wetted and cuts it off nicely for you. Much less mess than other methods, very quick and easy and convenient. The guy ...

Everytime I have to join one of those spindly, skinny slips I tell myself there must be an easier way to do this... so now I'm asking, what's a good way? I'm talking about the sort of 4mm deep, 10mm wide things like SL1 from Rose&Hollis.

Thanks for all the replies

I want to make small 6 x 4 photo frames as off the peg items for customers to go away and put in their own photos. What's a good way to construct the mount so the customer can easily and effectively insert a photo without having to tape it in, etc.?

thanks!

Would be interested to know how you get on with this.

I cut a mount the other day comprising two layers of 2000 micron board glued together to create a really deep bevel. Problem was the face paper in the middle showed up as a different colour to the rest of the core papers. I'm wondering what to do about this? I could buy solid core board so the colou...
