Re: Cold Turkey

Hi RoboJohn

I must admit that I did think it was you - you do have a particular way of saying things :) Also, you recently shared an image that I remember from a few years ago. Anyway, good to see you back again :clap:

Re: Poor cuts

Hi, yes quite simply the blades weren't sharpened correctly. Whilst they're been sharped and the edge is probably good that's not all that's involved with Morso Blades

The bane of my life actually

Re: AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the Art & Framing Industry

I think the whole AI art thing is just incredible & I can see both sides of the argument. My background was IT/development so I can appreciate the genius of the process - what humans can create these days is virtually magic. I did take a look at DALL-E but the only stumbling block was me!! When ...

Re: The Forum’s 7000th member

As a whole I like this forum, I've learnt a lot from it - and that's what brings me back. When I first joined, (10 years ago!! Where did that go!?) there were more framing techniques & samples of work that I particularly enjoyed looking at. There also seems to a lesser feel of community now and ...

Liquid Metal Metallic Paints

I have a few little things I want to make for sample pieces for the shop - I'd like to offer some basic hand finished stuff. Nothing fancy just something offer colours that wouldn't usually be available. Personally I really like nice metallic gold sight edges but I'm not sure on the best method or p...

Re: Mounting CDs

For records etc we usually use paper fasteners. I'd like to think they'd also work with CD's - I can't remember the size of the hole though :?
