Re: Mounting a ZX Spectrum.
Cool, they're both good ideas. The back is removable so the melinex wrap method would work, and as far as I know the device does still work so I would like it to be reversible ideally but they're quite a common item and it's not exactly in pristine condition now so something like removing the rubber...

Mounting a ZX Spectrum.
I'm working on a shadow box and a search of the forum reveals very little if I search for ZX Spectrum, the search ignores ZX so I just get Spectrum & they're all about the light spectrum :-) So, here's what I'm thinking. The Speccy itself is relatively heavy, I'm not sure the mylar straps would ...

WANTED: Blade sharpening in Sheffield.
I’m after a place to get my Morso blades sharpened and living in Sheffield you’d think that would be the perfect place to get them done.
Are there any places you’d recommend locally?

Re: I’m struggling right now.
Does the temperature of the room and blades make any difference?

Re: I’m struggling right now.
Here’s a photo of the blades. They were stored unused for years in a basement and a garage.
There’s a lot of what looks like staining on the blades that the white spirit, steel wool and scotch pads couldn’t shift.
Is it worth having them sharpened or just skip straight to a new pair?

Re: I’m struggling right now.
Thanks for all the replies, I'm definitely going to do a more in depth course at some point when I have the money. After inesting in a couple of machines to make things easier the whole thing needs to wash it's own face as it were, anything I buy has to come out of the money I make from making frame...

I’m struggling right now.
I’ve only been making frames since September, and only as a “side hustle” for family and friends right now and I started off on a high, tight corners, sharp edges… I felt like King Frames of Framistan! But now I’m struggling. I’ve hit a bit of a trough where nothing I make is up to the standard I wo...

Re: Social Media and Advertising
That's my take too, if you sell online then you can add tracking that lets you see which sales came from which adverts or social media posts, but once the interaction crosses over into the real world you lose any of that, same for magazine, TV & radio ads etc, it's always a gut feel isn't it.

50Mb is plenty fast enough. I have that at home and stream to multiple tvs simultaneously and play online games, it should be able to handle updating your subscription

Lion have a paper copy in stock but I'm not planning on making any more orders till the new year and I'd really like a copy of this book for Christmas, does anyone have a copy for sale, or know of an alternate supplier that can just post regular 1st class mail?

Re: Social Media and Advertising
Do you measure how many sales you get via each channel actively, or just ask clients where they found you?

Misfiring point driver.
I’ve had a Fletcher FrameMaster for a while, and today while finishing a job off it jammed. I took it to bits and I jammed it but now it’s not firing … until it does and then again 2 or 3 come shooting out. What could be causing this? I made a video here https://youtube.com/shorts/eaM1ZHXgSDg?si=JDT...

Pronunciation
I want to go and get a print done of an old football program so I can frame it.
A couple of question ...
1) Is a giclee what I want?
2) How the heck do I pronounce it?
Is it gishlee, gicklee, gishlay? Some mixture of all 3? I don't want to look like an idiot when I go into my local printer

Great tip about the lubricant, I don’t have that at the moment but I will add it to my toolkit! I honestly don’t mind the glass cleaning to be honest, for me it’s the almost that final piece of the puzzle and much like the old cooling towers next to the M1 at Sheffield, it means I’m nearly home and ...

How long to glass cutters last?
Title says it all really, how long to glass cutters tend to last, just the standard ones you get off Amazon.
I'm assuming the cutting disk goes blunt after cutting a certain amount of glass?
