Hi john,
You are right! My moulding length was a lot wider than 60mm. It was also too high for the maximum height of the morso blades, I had to pul them up further by hand!

Re: Anybody recognise this?
I bought some a long time ago in a job lot from a framer which was closing down, it originally came from Euro mouldings. The Frinton Gallery have it in various widths in the mouldings calalogue, these are hand made mouldings, not all that cheap but beaufully produced. I could not sell the lengh whic...

Re: Swept Frames.
When sweopt frame were easier to get, but not that easy to sell and get a decent price, I never had much success with them. Now they are harder to find, would I be right in guessing that maybe this is the time when they are like to be in demand and maybe more of a sellers market with the potential t...

Re: Thick repair wax
I haven't bought any for years. I got an old tin, but the label has peeled off, i think it was imported from another country. It was great becase you could mix the colours. it was not made for the framing trade.it was really cheap. I'm pretty sure that it is not made anymore, I was already expecting...

Re: Thick repair wax
Thanks Jerome,
That's quite interesting. Stearite powder used to be used in electrical insulators. It's a bit like powdered ceramic, maybe I could make some by grinding up something!

Re: Swept Frames.
WOW, I've never even heard about this punk art thing. Do much do these punk art swept frames need to look like the really traditional frames? Maybe, you might be able to make something which is adequate for your own market. Perhaps even using some of your left over bits of moulding, isn't the punk t...

Thick repair wax
I used to buy a really thick repair wax some years ago, which set to a very hard durable finish. It's no longer obtainable anymore. I no longer have any, I am being sounded out to do some repair work for a couple of previously regular customers in the interior design business, so I need a way of thi...

Moulding chevron sample sizes
I have recently been making some new moulding samples, to be honest the old ones are no longer looking as good as they once did and are propably no longer fit for purpose. I've not made many so far, but the outside dimension of each side has been chosen to be 230mm long, (almost 9 inches) which is s...

Re: working with thin mouldings
I have never been happy about fixing D rings to backing boards. Backing boards don't not remain stable supporting any significant load over time, when the load is supported in that way. O.K. screwing D rings into adequate strengh sub frames, even into adequate strength frames - no problem! A small s...

Re: Unidentified underpinner
That looks like it could be a Gieli machine, made in italy. They always used to the suppoerted with spares by Wessex pictures. They have a reputation as very solid and good machines.

Re: Cassese Underpinner Parts
Two tips. I stopped using the 12mm and 15mm Cassesse wedges long ago, because the horizontal crease which they have pressed into the wedge quite often causes jams and this means that I have strip down the machine to un-jam it. I now re-load the empty wedge magazines, which seem to work better than t...

Re: Cassese Underpinner Parts
There are many cassesse manual under pinner which all use the same pattern of hammer. Older models which are no longer current, are difficult to sell, so they are mostly only useful for spares. Quite a lot of the well worn out earlier models get part exchanged and sold on through the trade and get b...

Re: Ready made backs
Most of my stock of ready made frames have those brass plated slip-over hangers slip on the edge of the backing board, they do look a lot nicer than the standard black slip-over hanger. When I last needed to buy them, I could not get them in smaller quantities, so had to buy a bag of 1,000 hangers, ...

Re: Framers triangle points!
Are they the larger 13mm triangle points, for the old Kaha point guns. I've got some, but I need to look for them, because I don't know where they are. They come in a thin metal sleeve, and you withdraw the sleeve after the points are in the gun. The 13mm points are to large to for other guns point ...

Re: Underpinner advice please?
I have a CS-88 and before that I used a CS-79. They are both essentially the same internal mechanism and I have joined oak on both. There is a very definite difference in performance between a pneumatic and a manual underpinner, when it comes to joining oak, but it is worth bearing in mind that both...
