You are not wrong Dermot! Probably £300 worth of saw blades too! Absolute game changer for us.

Still for sale. Better photo of dust extractor…

***REDUCED - NOW ASKING FOR £300 ONO***

Brevetti Prisma Double Mitre Saw for sale.

Included in sale SIP 1HP dust collector and spare set of blades.

Both in good working order. This machine won’t win any beauty contests...! It’s pretty old and is one of the first models of Prisma’s and dates around 1990. It’s had a couple of ...

I picked up a bargain antique Brevetti Prisma from a forum member with a 1HP SIP bag extractor. Cuts like a dream considering its age. The prisma has a slightly bigger footprint to the morso but not hugely so. Effective but not perfect dust removal. We only have the one workshop space so all cutting ...

When we moved shop locations 5 years ago we moved into a premises occupied by the only other retiring picture framer in town. It was only just round the corner - literally 30 seconds walk. We expected to get busier instantly as we expected our own regular trade to follow us and also to inherit the ...

Amen to that. Have been using uniquely artglass as long as I can remember. It now accounts for more than 40% of all that we frame. It's a brilliant product. Very scratch resistant and easy to clean. I've never had a broken sheet arrive or cause for complaint on anything supplied.

That’s got hidden metalwork written all over it! I’d price in at least one new set of saw blades into the price if I was brave enough to take that on! If anyone can, Dermot can! Good luck! Can’t wait to see the result.

Standard should be fine. Power trace is a tool I use all the time to generate vectors from images and is available in the standard version. Also the ability to export in .plt format is important for vstudio (Valiani).

D-Rings with bifurcated rivets into the back board?

SOLD

Any recommendations for compact retractable airline hose reels? The Axminster one Jo suggested in this thread is sadly no longer available. I tried the cheap yellow ones available on Amazon but they are rubbish. Size was perfect but very poor build quality and each one I tried sprung a leak, I think ...

I've still got my Ademco hard bed press. I am loathed to get rid of it as it comes in handy for squashing things
now and then. The carrier board lives on the top of it and makes a handy shelf for oddments. :lol:


Absolutely this! When I upgraded to a hotpress I ditched mine and I’ve missed it ...

I've just discovered this fantastic sheet and linear cut optimiser that I had to share. I have an order for a batch of 39 large frames for a client spread across 5 different sizes using artglass and 3.5mm mountboard, foamcore and backing. Clearly a big material outlay cost. It was a real ...

When making bobbin frames it's easiest to start from the outside (if possible) to account for a full run of bobbles. Make minor adjustments to mount margins to allow for this. Assemble base frame first and then attach bobbles. I use the wooden 'shot' bobbins from Rose & Hollis. C9 fits perfectly on ...

All boards stored this way. I suggest in whatever order makes best sense to you, be it by colour, product number, whatever. Vertical storage is so much easier. We designed a table to take our CMC. 18mm MDF for top, base and sides with 9mm MDF dividers every 10cm. Solid as a rock.

Vertical storage seconded.

I have found a fix for scuffed dark coloured boards that is pretty much successful every time! Drench a clean rag in water and wring out well (not completely though). Wipe gently around the entire mount and dry instantly with compressed air. The scuff has miraculously ...

Brilliant. Thanks Jo. Looks likely. Will get a sample.

I would look at pricing software, but as I said earlier, you still have to make the same assumptions on mark-up/wastage/wages/profit as you do with a spreadsheet. This is the spreadsheet I made, so it is fairly comprehensive...


Absolutely. We use a spreadsheet too. Loosely based on a markup ...

Hi - can anyone help with an ID for either of these please.Thanks
