I agree with the above post from David and would emphasise "be very careful" as some of these fakes can only be recognised by experts

Fantastic finished article

I would love it in my home.

Keith I am one of many who do not doubt your commitment to the framing industry The help and support you have given framers over your working lifetime is exemplary.

Please keep up the good work and keep throwing ideas in the pot for us to chew over:yes:

Peter.

Good reply Rainbow :lol: It reminds me of a very old "Jethro" joke. He walked in to shop in Cornwell and asked for a bunch of roses. The shopkeeper replied " we are a circumcision clinic and we don't sell roses" Jethro replied "then why have roses in your window?" the shop keeper " well, what do you...

Is it just me or do others find it fascinating looking in to peoples homes when they being interviewed or pontificating on the current crisis. I find myself glued to the TV and studying the pictures on the walls in the same shot as the person. People from all walks of life are interviewed and commen...

Wonderful video - thankyou Steve for posting

I am so sorry to hear about Ricky. He will be sadly missed, not only on here, but by many others.

Sincere condolences to all his family and friends.

To mount and fix the few records I have framed I use those domed mirror screws prospero suggests fixed to a more substantial backing board than is the norm. On the rare occasions I send framed items through the post I have made a box for the frames from scrap wood/board strong enough to protect the ...

Prospero :surprised: is not the only early bird! How many on here remember the days of Magnolia + Sisslings etc. They were a big players back in the 60's 70's and 80's I can relate an amusing story about Harold Horn at Sisslings. He phoned Daler to place an order and was asked " What's your account...

Hi Paul :D If you are interested in a brand new unused genuine Dremel kit, I have one. I purchased it recently with good intentions to make some special frames and have never got round to using it. In fact, I had forgotten all about it until your post. I would be happy to let you have it at a price ...

Same sort of thing happens with my brand new all singing and dancing TV. Purchased just before Christmas from John Lewis. I mainly buy from J L because of the after sales service and extra guarantee. In spite of paying the extra fee for installation I have had the engineer out twice to solve faults ...
