Re: Hi All

welcome

the advice on making frames first stop on. Charity shops
have lots of old frames,there will be lots in the back room
they cant sell. take them to pieces and reassemble making
smaller, you will gain lots of skills good luck.

Re: And now for something completely different

i always find my way back to wood, woodturning, walking sticks
and now picture framing , my first job was a bricklayer/mason working
with wood was seen as the enemy back in those days!
i put working with wood as being in my dna!
good luck with the project

Re: Flu jabs

Im not far off 65 which they say is the age to get it,unless other
health concerns exist.I always do research before taking any pill/potions
-big pharma has huge power over doctors and indeed the public
would I have a flu jab -no .I usually get a dose of flu about once a year
isn't that natural?

Re: Reasonable Price?

also check the horizontal bar at the back where it joins the main body
it can bend the main body or worse it can be repaired easily
but something to look for
