The Framers Forum

Hello Greenfields, The advice above is spot on - you simply cant compete with Chinese and Indonesians with big factories working 2 or 3 shifts a day with automatic cutting and joining machines. But what can you do? Have you considered producing framed prints of the touristic scenes of Donegal? No ne...

A true story about sex chat lines...... Years ago I was in contact with a framer in Niue, an island in the Pacific, pop 1,400. Was expecting an order and then heard Niue had been hammered by a hurricane. All tel and e mails not working for ages. Finally when they did work again and rang the framer g...

Hi Graham,

What a good idea!
I tried the link - got 2 pics - but they dont change.
Went and made a coffee - came back - still same pics??
Summat needs tweaking.

It's genuine! And its a good magazine - but geared towards the USA/Canadian distributors/framers But what may happen after 12 months is you get an invoice for the next years subscription. In larger companies it may well be paid without batting an eyelid, and then you are hooked. Smaller framers a mu...

Liz, Give Val a call at Slater Harrison 01625 578957 They may still have some COLOURMOUNT Centura Pearl CP17 in stock. If that doesn't work, she should also be able to tell you which distribs. have bought it and might still have in their stock. Nielsen are also worth a call to get their help with th...

Michelle, Thanks for the link. It really is an excellent site. The Danes have to be praised for all the effort that has gone into this exhibition, and the web site. :D As this presumeably is aimed at the general public - well those who are interested, I particularly like the link - "Ask the con...

Odems,

I have been fortunate to try some unusual food on my travels.
Sometimes it tastes much better if you dont know what its called!

I visited the A'dam Art show at RAI.
And had a boat trip from Marken to Volendam and back.
And rented an electric boat from De Gouw at De Rijp - to explore Eilandspolder. Saw a lot of wild life.

But now I cant figure out how to delete this post!

Hello Odems,

Another pic from Holland. This is Eetcafe De Zeilhoek at Katwoude. Excellent for smoked eel and asparagus moose!
Yesterday I went shopping, so tonight I had maatjesharing and asperges for dinner. Delicious

Hi Steve,

Your posts go on almost all night long!!
Admire your staying power...!!

Why dont you both open a frame shop in the Azores - as you are more in their time zone than ours??

Why have they gone to all the trouble of making a very artificial scene, depicting a frame shop. Why not simply go into a REAL frame shop and take ...
