The Framers Forum

Dermot and Justin: Lovely bit of work and always good to hear about a bit of collaboration between framers :clap: Fascinating to see the areas you've had to repair/rebuild and then the finished frame with seamless blending so that you'd never know it had been done. We've dabbled in this sort of thin...

I've not used a Frinton frame for a while now - is there enough rebate depth, or did you have to build out the back?

Even with trimming down the height of the Nielsen moulding, we did get them to build out the back as well.

This is one for our wall next to the design desk. We sell a good number of Frinton Frames every year and customers love the flexibility they offer to change decorative elements or colour. We decided to create a wall example to (hopefully) act as a great advert for selling even more of them! :clap: W...

We’re with BT at work. Not the cheapest but good service, very good if we ever have problems and it comes with an EE back up dongle which has proved useful at times.

The correct phone number for the seller is 07989 731468

If you have tried to contact them on the previous number, please do try again on the correct one.

Thanks

Jo

Mainline Mouldings - cannot fault their service and they use a genuine Morso machine for sharpening

We've used them for years and highly recommend. Easy pick up and drop back to you via Royal Mail/Parcelforce.

That's a great start to a Friday

Good quality ceramics, fused or blown glass art, stained glass decorative items or mosaic art items seem to do well in some of the independent small gallery shops in this part of the world. Particularly if made by local artists.

Hi Zac

Welcome to the Forum and to framing.

Our Simons rep visited last Thursday, and said their special offers on sundries are on at the moment.

Hi Is there such a thing as White /cream with Black core conservation mountboard? Simple answer is no. You can get solid black in cotton, but any black core with white or cream face paper isn’t Level 2 Conservation. It would be Level 4 Standard board. John mentioned Nielsen boards - a lot of their ...

This was a topic from 2014.

Well that's another set of clamps we're going to have to buy now!

For small frames at the moment, we find our Veritas 4 way speed clamps to be really useful.

Padded pole - yes Into spacers - yes Don't think stretch - think support - and yes you could just do it that way on a rectangular framework and then swap it to the triangular one. My only concern in this instance would be the differing tension between what you can achieve for the support fabric on a...

Great projects to do Justin (I flipped your photos for you :D ). For the jacket - because of the very boxy shape of it I'd be looking at created a padded pole, slotted into the sides of the frame (on the inside) itself. The jacket can then be support stitched to that in various places so that it is ...
