The Framers Forum

This is the one we use - not exactly cheap, but excellent for frames finished with emulsion

Take your point,but don't currently possess the equipment,or probably the skills to do that kind of thing so It would be saleable!. If that's what they wanted I would have pointed them in the direction of a cabinetmaker

We spray them with a polyvine dead matt varnish, which does what it says on the tin

I tend to agree its a strange thing to have done but I'm not one for turning away work and although the first one took some head scratching, future ones will be fairly straight forward. We screwed some wooden bars inside the mannequin which also allowed us to fix the whole thing to the backboard. Th...

Just finished framing this wedding dress in a 8.25" deep box frame, consisting of a square edge moulding joined to 2 pieces (as my saw will only cut 100mm high) of 90mm x 20mm timber and all 3 pieces joined with pocket hole jig. The spacer to hold glass and cover screw holes and create rebate i...

That's a wonderful machine, best piece of framing equipment I ever bought and hopefully purchased before the worsening exchange rates puts the price up!

Living close to the longest steam heritage railway in the UK we are often asked about the artist who puts a mouse in his pictures

It's instagram and twitter that work well for us, and we don't pay a penny!- With Facebook's latest algorithm its hard to get your post seen unless its widely shared or you advertise. We only have 250 likes on Facebook, but on a recent post (which only got 7 likes) was only seen by 46 people It is r...

I am amazed at people admitting to less than 100% compliance with waste regulations in a public forum where their business name is also published. The mods might like to assist them by making some deletions. We would happily recycle our float but our waste transfer agents aren't interested in colle...

We have 2 1100l wheelie bins, one for general waste (including glass) and the other for plastic/paper recycling ,both are emptied weekly and as we have a new contractor in town we have just negotiated it down to £30 per week ( we were paying £45.00 a week) including vat for both to be emptied.

The other thing to remember to do on Instagram is hash tag
