Re: Daler mountboard corner samples
Somewhere on my travels I met a framer who made his own corners in each colour he stocked. He cut them 8 cms wide by about 80 cms long Then he could position the 2 over the customers artwork to make a "temporary" full sized mount He told me Joe Public found it much easier, and quicker, to ...

Re: fully recycled coloured mountcard??
Dont customers ask for some bizarre things! :head: I wish the paper industry would get a very simple message across to Joe Public Trees are like apples, potatoes etc. They grow in the ground, they are used , and then more are planted OK I agree trees take a lot longer to grow, but they are still a c...

Re: New framers and secondhand equipment.
plus if you get some training before buying equipment, you might find out that you are no good at framing :sweating: or you are not cut out for it :doh: :itwasntme: , so you have not wasted your money on equipment you are not going to use, you can just walk away :wounded: A post from Steve that I t...

Re: New framers and secondhand equipment.
May I chip in here ? Preferably before you start buying any equipment get some training :yes: Then the chances of buying the wrong equipment, stuff off EBay with parts missing ( there was such a post yesterday) will be greatly reduced Also any trainer will save your hours of wasted experimentation (...

Re: Selling up
Norrie, You are not dreaming! :lol: I've recently discussed exactly the same concept with a 3 friends, all well past retirement age, but who still have all their equipment + boards + mouldings etc and still do the odd frame job. They all have the same idea as you. So much better to sell the entire l...

What condition might it arrive in? But Sophie wrote she wanted 840 x 640 which is a tad over A1 (594 x 841mm) For speed and convenien...
