The Framers Forum

Thanks for the advice, I think I now have an idea how I am now going to do things. Cheers!

Hi Dave, I think you have answered my question, yes I was trying stacking using a couple of 7mm - your explanation would suggest this is not good practice so what I might try is single wedges a lot of glue and clamping, if that does not work back to the old pins method, long time since I did that!

Hi Dave, the underpinner I have is a pneumatic Euro but just doesn't seem to have the oomph to insert more than one wedge. The other problem I have with it is it will only take 7mm wedges which has never been an issue on softer frames. There will be quite a large number to do over the next few weeks...

I have been asked to do some oak frames, the underpinner (an old Euro) struggles to put the wedges in. I have not really used oak before so I guess there must be another method to join the mitres. Is there an easy way of pinning them, I do have a load of easy clamps so have considered using them to ...

Going on from glass waste which I now have covered with two options. I have planning application in for change of use and conversion of a room to a photo studio. Environmental people are bing a real pain. I mentioned that I get rid of a lot of offcuts of mount board to schools who use it for project...

Eventually tracked this company down, based in Grantham. This must be their current website.

Thanks for the suggestions, there are a couple I might follow up.

What is the best way of disposing of waste glass? I have heard there may be companies that will pick up waste glass, how do others do it?

Really useful little programme. As to the fixing of the cove box to the frame, I use a hot glue gun but have also tried silicone sealant which works the same, just allow more time for it to set solid.

Thanks for the information, if I do ready made frames in future I will give this a go.

Just out of interest, what is the best way to take the sharp edges off glass?

Got one so now happy!

That was the framing side of the business, I guess the big boys will pick up their customers now!

I used them but their stock became less and less. Friendly but no stock.....shame, local company born out of Mitrecraft.

In good condition at a reasonable price, anyone looking to upgrade and have one available?

Wizard no longer available for sale on this forum, thanks for your interest.

Due to giving up picture framing on a large scale.....comes complete with new Bambi compressor. Any trial welcome! Offers?

A decent offer an it is yours and we are not talking anywhere near £11,000

Brilliant machine, needs a new home!

Might give Estlite a go then, seems to be quite popular and the cost of Framiac does put me off somewhat.
