Well if you have the camera fixed to the ceiling, you will have to climb up to switch it on, also press a button on the back of the camera to activate the wifi link to the tablet. The camera has rechargeable battery , but it's a little bit like the ones on a phone in shape , square and flat and it ...

I got one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00RTGJSQU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

you can link via wifi to a tablet of phone, to down load your images, plus you can control the camera from the tablet including the zoom, but it would mean climbing up each time you wanted ...

I'd also be looking to wrap round a bit less of the image than in bagpuss' picture, but that may just be me.

Heh, easy there fella ! the customer was very pleased with them :clap: You can't be too precise with these things, unless you're doing these things day in day out, then you could probably ...

I asked this question a couple of years ago, when I was considering PreView, I may well still consider Preview but at the moment I just want to get a camera to mount on the ceiling again.

Years ago I setup a Canon Powershot on the ceiling and linked it with a cable to my PC, the Canon software ...

Most of my customers are pretty relaxed, I always tell them that some things are worth waiting for

2017-11-20 10.24.14.jpg I thought I'd give you an update, I ended up going to B&Q and got some 12mm x 34mm strip wood, made a frame ( below ) and then stretched the canvas over it, it looked fine, no sign of the frame through the canvas, the customer was v pleased : )

Can someone remind me how best to "relax" a badly creased drawing in the Hotpress please ? Im not sticking it down, just want to get creases out, haven't tried this for years. Thanks,

Thanks for the advice everyone, I don't use Arqadia unfortunately, I don't have a power plane either : (
Just Googling companies that sell these already stretched, I see that some stretch over 18mm blocks of what I assume is MDF, rather than a stretcher bar, as you can see from photo below, these ...

ah, I have used a floater mouldings before but these canvases just need stretching, I was just after a suitable stretcher moulding that isn't too deep but has a clean edge rather than a rounded edge like some stretcher mouldings, thanks anyway.

Hi Alan, sorry, only just getting round to stretching these 5 canvases and just checked out L2427 ( see photo below ),
I wanted to stretch the canvases onto frames, is that what you were thinking, I've never stretched using this sort of profile before?
Have I got the wrong end of the stick ?
L2427 ...

I've had a couple of those 5 piece canvas artwork come in ( see photo below ), not big, 19cm wide, tallest 54cm.
Can anyone recommend a suitable Simons or LION moulding to do these please, I was going to buy from the LION - L2459 which is the Classic profile about 18mm deep for canvases and I can ...

Thanks for the advice people, as I'm often told, 99% of the things I worry about never actually happen, it turned out fine after all that. Not ideal but under the circumstances and i had warned the customer that it wouldn't go down totally flat, I cut a sheet of 5mm foamcore to size and laid lengths ...

Hi all,
my heart always sinks when a customer brings in large laminated maps, well anything over size really ....
The map is a whopping 150 x 95cm, supplied rolled up, laminated both sides, you know the sort of thing.
The customer wants it mounted and framed (no glass), I dont have a cold roller so ...

Hi,
I've never had one before but I have had my first review by a Troll on Google Business, to be honest I have most of my reviews on Facebook, every now and then someone does one on Google, I only had 2 5star reviews, then a few days ago I had a 1star review saying I had no black frames and I had ...

This rather large bench has been in my Workshop for the last 5 years, dimensions: w48in x d48in x h32in
I added the shelving myself, just chipboard. It's a big old lump, the actual top is 1.5in thick, I have dismantled it but ...

Hi,
a good customer of mine is threatening to bring in a dolphin shaped jigsaw ... now I have framed jigsaws over the years and they've generally been rectangular not dolphin shaped, I stick them down using drymount film onto 2mm MDF board. I'm thinking that I would have to profile the dolphin shape ...

Well that was a heated debate :rock: All good stuff, well here's a photo of the finished product, I actually used Neschen Filmoplast T Cloth Tape ( LION ) to attach to the Linen backing to the foamcore board, as I said, I did have to cut the mount in 2 sections as I can't cut Jumbo board but under ...

Thanks everyone for your advice, very much appreciated.
Roboframer, I really like what you've done, are you able to cut Jumbo size board on your Gunner/CMC ? My options were limited when the customer brought it in, I can only cut mounts in standard size ( 815 x 1125mm ) so I worked out I could only ...
