There's something to be said for Mark's viewpoint and I guess it is about how you are set up and whether doing multiples is something you want to encourage or not. We regularly do runs of 20 or so the same, mainly luckily with that type of customer fitting the work themselves, so very happy to do th...

Very nice and interesting to see a new method for supporting the medals.

Congratulations, hope all goes well for you. Keeping the workshop tidy is one of the hardest things

You're welcome, glad you got it sorted.

Have you asked the Guild if they have a copy you could purchase? There were a load of back copies at the Guild event at the weekend, if only we'd known we could have picked one up for you

We had exactly the same problems years ago, but solved it by getting an oil free compressor when we got the CMC. Oil free might be the easiest and cheapest way to go in the long run.

Hardly anyone asks for the cheaper option of standard float. It also means t...

Kwik did you realise that the post you just replied to is a year old?

Carriage charge depends on how parcels there are, but usually around £7.95 plus VAT and there is no carriage free, all carriage is charged at cost according to their catalogue. Not sure if they have a minimum order value or not, we've not encountered one yet and there is no mention of one. A254 is 1...

Copy of the page of the catalogue.

Try A257 obeche from Rose and Hollis. Should be the sort of thing you are after. They have 3 sizes of this shape and I'm quoting the number from memory so might be slightly out. Would love to show a link to their website :lol: but you will have to make do with requesting their catalogue by post if y...

That looks like the little suction cup thing that you attach to a halogen bulb so that you can then change it without touching it with your fingers. That's my guess anyway

Sorry to see that you are finishing with framing Graeme, hope it's not health related. Best of luck with whatever comes next for you.
