The Framers Forum

Oops nearly quoted you then John :giggle: :giggle: Yes you do get a couple of bumps, but if you are using a barrier board behind the artwork/photo, should be no problem, the metal base helps to make the hangers more secure, if the spiky things should come through (depending on the thickness of the b...

Sorry,the star bit on the base plate is for the self-piercing rivets, the star helps the rivets to bend over, so scrub that for the hangers, but a metal base will help the spiky bits grab into the board, because if you have it on the bench top a lot of the energy will wasted and pass to the surface ...

Whichever way you choose, you will need a metal base to help the splaying out of the spiky bits, on the Wun-Tool I got from Simons, there is a base plate with a star shape in it to make the spiky bits splay out and catch in the board, if you look at some of the bought strut-backs you will see what I...

You might be able to utilise an old Black & Decker pillar drill attachment, have a look in your old toolbox/shed or on eBay might find one cheap

I suppose that this would mean having to stock some MDF, but it would be a helpful facility for me to have.

I've used the the hangers on Simons Back/10 and they work fine, I bought the press from Simons and use it to put hangers on all my R/Ms up A4, looks neat and professional.

A Bodger after my own heart John, good idea, thanks for sharing.

Hi Christine,
You must have some pretty big pizza's in the states over here I would think the biggest would be around 18x18inches.
Welcome to the forum by the way

Steve

Thanks Tudor Rose,
I just checked and you are right, it does put extra nodes in when you save it (damm stupid idea) and I had it set up to auto-save as well (changed that now), but I still get problems once I've saved it in the Val software.
But thanks for the info

Steve

Hi Johnny, Thanks for the info, I contact Mal later. I can open the original CorelDraw file in CorelDraw OK and the number of nodes are fine, but when I open the PLT file in CorelDraw there are loads of nodes, I have edited these files and re-exported the PLT files ( using different file name) and t...

I got a problem with my Valiani, as some of you know I do a lot of shaped windows such as animals, elephants, bears , dogs and such, my customer send me her designs via email, I open them in CorelDraw and trace them. I then save them as a Corel file, then export them as PTL files, in the Valiani sof...

Looks like a Byron Mouldings one, but where you can get it from now I have no idea, just looked through Renaissance's catalogue , they have some of the Byrons old range but not that one.
Sorry can't help more

Sorry John, My first post was to make other members aware and to check to see if any of their images were being used in this way, so they could also ask for them to be removed from that site. I did not set out to name and shame, only to point members to maybe an infringement of their property, I'm s...

Just an update, They have replied to my email, apologising for the error, and could I check to make sure all my images have been removed. I have just checked the site and they have removed them all. I will be checking back on the site to make sure they do not use them again I agree with J2M about wh...

Can you all check this site, http://www.cassellsports.co.uk:80/www.cassellsports.co.uk/info.php?p=10 I've just had email from sombody who pointed out that two of my images from my site are being used on this site. Top row second in on the left and bottom row last on right are both mine, I'm just abo...

Try "Ashcraft" in you keywords, as you are a framer in Ashcraft, and it's in your keywords and description meta data on your site, people do tend to Google for things in the area, so a common search would be" Picture framing services in Ashcraft". Also try miss-spelling keywords ...

Very effective Robo, nice job.

I would be prepared to pay for seminars, and I would be intrested in list Rolf started ( the Bold I would be more intrested in) Seminars on framing related topics Stuff from suppliers / experts about for example the latest trends Specialist new products Photoshop Corel Draw Printing techniques Mount...

As Roboframer said Respect
If you have cut the mounts with a Logan and straightedge, you should be very pleased with yourself, I know I would be and thanks for sharing.

Again well done

Steve

Forget eBay... There are people on there selling canvas prints 20" x 30" for £17.99 Delivered! I can't make one for that! Problem with ebay and Joe Public is that they don't perceive price with quality. All they look for is the cheapest price. That's why we have people coming in with a ca...

Just sell them mounted, but not in A sizes, make them standard sizes where your customer can obtain a wider range of frames in standard sizes. Make them in these sizes, A1 60x80cm, A2 40x60cm , A3 30x40cm, you will find more frames in these sizes than the A sizes. Also you can cut down on yor Postag...
