The Framers Forum

I only use this sparingly, and I was brought a poster which had been rolled up, squished in a pocket, left in a drawer underneath something for a few years etc. etc. The customer wasn't hopeful that anything could be done, but I said I would try this self-adhesive mountboard from DR. Once it was don...

I took it to be a video of a sports shirt being framed properly, rather than one of these cheapo sandwich jobs?

Yup, it's 8mp. Not sure if the iphone makes things trickier, but I find my android phone can do pretty much anything you can do on a normal computer, just with a smaller screen.

Yes it's an android phone and yes I can upload directly.
Here's a completely irrelevant photo from my phone.
I call it 'boy with green balloon'

I agree with most that I don't think the book is used as much these days. That said, I have a free listing on yell.com as I still think they have a decent reputation. You can customise the listing with pictures and videos and opening times etc which then makes you stand out. Be prepared for a sales ...

Hi John, my extremely smart smartphone can upload a photo from it in the same way I would do it on the computer.
The smartphone gives me the exact same site, just with smaller writing.

Em, nope... if the copyright holders happen to see it I'll be really impressed and offer them a bigger discount.

I've bought a 1/2 page advert in a programme for a local car show.
1 frame will pay for it, so not a big investment.
I've got a picture of a racing car print that I framed so I'll include that.
Any suggestions for what else to include, special offer etc?

have a look at the video on my webpage

around :55 you will see me using the morso - it isn't meant as an instructional video but it will give you an idea.

Thanks geo, I'll have a look.
What kind of arty papers do you mean stcstc and is there someone that will do a similar service to dscolourlabs with those papers?

thanks stcstc,
any ideas what kind of prices, and does buying in bulk make a difference?

I realise that. They have come from glass slides that are over 100 years old so I'll need to check what process was used and if the resolution can be improved. I plan on offering them for sale ready framed from the website, and perhaps offer a few to local shops / cafes etc to display and sell. I'm ...

I've got a number of historical images from around our town and I'm looking to get them printed and then sell complete with frame.
Images are approx 1500 x 1000 pixels and around 1.2mb.
Any ideas about the best way to go about printing these and what kind of print would work best?

Hi folks, I have 3 boxes of Inmes Wedges.
2 red, 1 yellow.
Red is missing 1 stick, so there are 15 sticks in total.
Yellow is missing 1 stick, and another is 1/2 full so there are 6.5 sticks.
Free to a good home if someone is passing Stonehouse.

I've got a customer who is sure that she doesn't want any mounts.
If I'm going to use glass, what options are there and what looks best?
Are the Frametek spacers available in the UK?

Thanks guys, I've changed blades a few times so no worries there.
Main reason I'm interested is I've been taking a chunk out the bottom corner of the moulding recently and feel that I should really explore it a bit so I know what's what, although I've seen that this is quite a common problem.

I've got newly sharpened blades to put on my Morso F and I was hoping to have a good look at how it is set up / adjusted. Is there an e-manual going about or I've seen someone mention a video?

Thanks Kev, I'll have a look at your videos soon.
My video has been updated slightly:
Here's the new link

Again any comments / feedback welcome.

I've just had a video done, purely shameless promotion, i.e. not meant to be a how-to on framing.
Feel free to have a look and give me your thoughts / comments:

Hi, the CS88 is still for sale and it is working fine. I have upgraded to a pneumatic underpinner so I'm wanting to move this one on.
It is in good condition, as good as when I got it.
You are welcome to come and have a look or I could take photos.
