Re: Pricing help
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 model b...

Hi. I'd be £96.50 for Job 1 and £250 for Job 2. We are based in the South with very little local competion. From where I'm looking you seem to be under pricing. Clearly I have no knowledge of your location/overheads etc or the prices your market can tolerate. Do you get many pushbacks on price? If y...

Hi Jon
Take a look at Simons K/0857 or R&H A255 - 35mm deep but face is more like 21mm on a length I've got here. Sold as a tray so nice wide base for pinning. Could rip a little off on a table saw to bring down to 17mm.

Great job Dermot. Looks very good. You aren’t the only one doing it! We’re trying but had delamination issues lately usually at the point of applying stain. I’m sure it’s down to the type of contact adhesive we are using. Do you mind me asking what type you use? Water-based or solvent based? A brand...

Re: Ways to frame a sports shirt?
If you make sure the foam insert is a very good fit you don’t really need many attachments. I use a couple of stainless steel dressmakers pins either side of the collar into the side of the foamcore, and also either side at the bottom to hold in place. They are pretty much invisible.

Thanks. Looking for someone experienced in hanging fine art to advise on collating, collections, placements and layouts more than just banging a nail in the wall where they are told to.

We get asked very often about a picture hanging service. It's not something I have any interest in providing but there must be someone reliable and recommendable offering this service. Can anyone point me in the direction of service offerers in the South (South West) that might be able to help. Elde...

Mine is going part-ex for a Nexus edge in the next few weeks with TGS Repairs. Not sure if they have a taker for it yet. Ask Jamie Griffiths on 07817848324. He’ll know the whereabouts and availability of most Valiani’s in the UK.

Re: Do you photograph your finished frames? If so, do you publish them?
I only take pictures of the ones that are a bit special, out of the ordinary or I’m particularly proud of. And as you rightly pointed out photographing anything with regular glass looks underwhelming, however artglass usually photographs better. If I know in advance that I’m going to use a piece on ...

Re: working with thin mouldings
I agree. Using a rigid back like MDF and stapling through this would be a simple way to increase support. An 8mm moulding base sounds too slim for a D-ring for risk of splitting. I’d be avoiding any fixing on a frame that slim and rivet to the backboard instead. The ideal solution as you’ve mooted w...
