second best quote. A London framer once had an 8 month lead time.

Be interested to know which mouldings they can't cut Square Framie. If they cant cut square what chance do we have using a Morso. Over 5 years of buying certain items of chop I have had one wrong length, replaced over night for delivery next day and one damaged again re delivered following day. You ...

Augment even. dam you auto spell correction

I use chop (Lion) for hard wood and (not Morso friendly mouldings) and argument my stock range. It depends how busy you are and your relationship with your supplier. Buying one item of chop and paying the delivery charge makes it uncompetitive. If you order several at once the delivery is free or ne...

Yep like Steve N. Cut a hole in plaster board stud wall, works a treat, now have 5m

Hi, just wondered how framers wrap the finished frame prior to collection by customers. I use bubble wrap but have see heave duty wrapping paper uses. What do others use?

Has the Christmas madness started for any one else yet. 5 customers coming to see me tomorrow 3 have mentioned they have art to frame for Christmas. It started about the middle of November last year but seems to be ramping up early this year.

Thanks for your help Steve, glad its going to a good home.

Last chance to have this for FREE before it goes to the scrap yard. Shame but desperately need the space

Looking for a new home for my Ademco 2226 press. 26" x 22" in full working order. Its mounted on a stand and is very heavy. Free to a good home. Based in Hertfordshire. Collection only.

Furthermore the stretched image will not be framed. I have suggested stretching it over a board and building a sub ...

you could try framiac www.framiac.com

Thanks you much Tangent, very well explained, look forward to seeing the other dragons framed and mounted. One other thing where did you find the Dragon paper cut? I have seen a few on ebay but none as nice as your Dragon.

PS Happy Christmas

The dragon looks great, am I right in thinking you sandwiched the paper cut between two pieces of glass, spaced away from the gold under mount then spaced the double mount and finally glazed with a third piece of glass? would love to see more photographs

No but I know a man that has.

Hi can we see a picture of the finished item

Hi, I have been given a large etching to re frame which has been stored in a damp room. Subsequently the print is badly cockled and wavy. The customer is fully aware of the problems but has asked me to do my best. Does any one have any suggestions as to the best way to try to salvage the etching. Th...

Hi, I've just noticed there's one in the Lion catalogue page 55 of the Feb 2013 issue it's £21.30 (or free if your mate gives you one!)
