Novice framer looking to train (W Yorks and further afield)
I am a novice framer in my early 30s currently looking to set up my own small workshop. As it is taking some time to find a decent space, and I am fortunate enough to be working part-time at the moment, I would be interested in the opportunity to work with an existing framer, ideally in West Yorkshi...

Re: Workshop Climate (Re-post from General Discussion)
Yes, I did put it to them that I would be keen to do these things, but the landlords declined.That's a shame. I thought it looked good - albeit after some up-front expenditure.

Re: Workshop Climate (Re-post from General Discussion)
Thanks very much for your detailed advice Jamesnkr and Prospero. I think it's safe to say that this space wouldn't be workable, and passed it up after running some of my needs by the landlords. Yes, it struck me as a very good shape room for receiving mouldings. Oh, and see what you mean JFeig. The ...

Re: Workshop Climate (Re-post from General Discussion)
Thanks JFeig. The RH was 60% when I measured it in the early evening. I realised it will have fluctuated it overnight, and it's that which I need to control. I don't immediately follow how the information about printing paper stabilising applies, so would appreciate you spelling it out a bit for me?

Re: Workshop Climate (Re-post from General Discussion)
Updated question: Does it look to you like I could make this workshop space suitable? Please see images linked to in thumbnail below. The owners have offered to put electric heaters in for me, and I know I could bring in an industrial dehumidifier. Three of the walls are interior, the one to the lef...

Re: Workshop Climate (Re-post from General Discussion)
I hadn't thought about that, but it seems like a good idea.
I suppose it is mostly mountboard, paper stock and artwork I'm concerned about, and would expect to keep that in a drawer unit which could be further protected.

Workshop Climate (Re-post from General Discussion)
(Re-post from General Discussion Thread. As you can see, I'm looking at workshop spaces right now, so forgive me if I'm thrashing about like an amateur...) I've found a few threads on this, but going to be really specific. I'm currently looking for my first workshop space as my equipment has grown t...

Re: Workshop - Acceptable Humidity Percentage?
Thanks for your response JFeig. In that case, would you say that achieving the right stability requires a workspace with an installed heating system? Rather than one with portable heaters, etc?

Workshop - Acceptable Humidity Percentage?
I've found a few threads on this, but going to be really specific. I'm currently looking for my first workshop space as my equipment has grown too large for where I live. I'm pretty much terrified of renting a place that proves to be too moist and makes paper buckle. All of the affordable places I h...

Hello from Leeds
Hello, I'm about to make my first post on the regular forum, so thought I'd drop an intro here for starters. I'm Nick, I work in film exhibition (that means communications work and event planning for film festivals and screenings) and I've been learning how to frame in my spare time since April. Som...
