The Framers Forum

I like it, simple is the way to go :P There are no photos on the frame visualisation page, so hard for people to visualise what you mean by frame visualisation ;) I wouldn't be too worried about offering people a link to other sites. It can be done so that sites open in a new window, which leaves th...

Ouch, I'm afraid I'm not getting you on google at all now and I'm 8 pages in.
Time for a change methinks.

Hi Dave, I'll pop them in the post for you and you can buy me a beer when I'm next in Norfolk.
Send me a PM with your details.
Cheers

I had them for a Cassesse that I inherited but there is some debate about whether they are okay to use.
Search on the forum for a thread about it.

I'm having a clear out and found a few boxes of inmes wedges that I can't use any more.
Yellow 7mm - 7.5 cartridges.
Red 5mm - 14 cartridges.
Not much but might help someone.
They are going in the bin if no-one wants them.

Not bad at all.
I'd rather see it cut by hand tbh

What about a wooden spacer with a white finish on it, or even a small narrow moulding.
I wouldn't bother with silicone as there can be problems with fumes given off. Don't think you'll need anything if the spacer is robust.

Why not take the old hose into the place you were the other day and get them to supply you with the same set up, simple :Slap: Are you not allowed to quote? :P I took it all in with me, and the guy said do you want it with fittings or will you just use your own. I said I assumed it would come with ...

As others have said I would ask him where your site is and what contingency plans are in place. I do web design as well as framing and it is unusual for someone to run their own server, as there are far better solutions available for less cost and far less hassle. I have server space from Amazon whi...

I was in a place today asking for a new hose, and they asked if I wanted it with fittings. I said I assume it comes with the end piece but apparently it is just the hose and the fittings are separate. Could I then just cut off the ends with the damage and fit new end pieces (there is still plenty of...

I think I hear what you're all saying.
Chewing gum over the hole it is then.
Thanks everyone.

My compressor tube developed two leaks, one the day after the other
I've tried wrapping a bandage round it, using framing tape, using electrical tape etc. but the air pressure is obviously too strong for my repairs. Anyone got any good ideas?

I'm replacing the mount in a frame due to severe foxing, but the customer wants an authentic antique look ( )
He asked if I could stain the mountboard with a tea bag to gain the desired effect.
Should I give it a go or does anyone have any brighter ideas?

Nice, what have you used for a spacer?

If I ordered 10ft of a moulding I'd expect 10ft to be usable.

Hi fusion framer,
I'd love to have these if they're still available.
I was actually thinking I should probably start experimenting with my Keencut Ultimat Gold.
Cheers

I generally don't use plastic mouldings as I found that there can be a small gap when I'm done. Sometimes though a customer will bring one in that the only match is plastic. I find the best results from glueing corners together with bison? glue and holding them together for around 20 seconds, then p...

We had guests staying with us from Brooklyn, NY, and as I brought them back from the airport a customer turned up with a photograph of Brooklyn bridge. It's the little things that make you laugh.

I've got a BEA pneumatic stapler (for my football strips and tapestries :wink: ) and the firing pin thing isn't returning correctly. I took the top bit apart and a selection of solid pink blobs fell out. I take it this is the stuff that makes it return, but looks as though it has become brittle with...

Interesting watching this thread as my mouldings are currently piled on an old pool table. I'm going to be getting some kind of racking / shelving system soon so great to see what others have done. Is there no issue with stacking wood vertically? As a boy I worked in Wickes building supplies and for...
