Re: Another frame

5ft x 3ft...that'd scare the life out of me! No need to be scared of over sized framing work as long as you have the necessary work space otherwise these large jobs will clog up your workshop. These days I don't get many jobs that size but when I do there is an upside. Firstly, it was a stacked fra...

Re: Another frame

That's a good example of turning an every day moulding in to something special :clap: :clap: :clap: It's one of the few moulding I buy these days by the 100ft because it is popular and good quality and a good price. Like you, I use it in a number of ways including stacking with small and large gold ...

Re: To bole or not to bole

Absolutely beautiful, and thanks for the pictures. I would not mind a look at the brighter frame behind :wink:

Regards the mirror glass, I would think twice before I replaced it. FWIW I find my customers prefer the original.

Re: Watching TV.

Thanks for the heads regarding the "Talking Pictures" channel, I loved Callen. I never would have found it as I've only got as far as channel 41 :lol: and now I will be looking out for "Man in a Suitcase" just to hear the opening music. :) and to watch the star stand his cigarett...

Re: Another frame

I like both examples :clap: :clap: :clap:

Being very nosey, it would be interesting to know the cost of the two frames. Not that I suggest, for one moment, prices are quoted.

Re: newbie advise needed - canvas framing

I mainly use mirror plates these days and not offsets. They come in many sizes and being malleable can be shaped as required. I buy on line in small quantities. Marks excellent point about adding a sloping slip is well worth considering for the reasons he mentions. If more depth is required I add so...

Re: gesso

I have never heard of Des Pronto but will investigate. As for Milliput, brilliant stuff, easy to use and has a multitude of uses. I would highly recommend it.

Can I echo the comments re your contribution to this forum. :D
