Re: Plate mounting
This is from the V&A Museum's website: Mounts for ceramics Mounts are often used to show decorative ceramics that are in good condition but they aren't always suitable for cracked or restored pieces. Mounts need to be the right size for the piece - if they are too tight they can chip the edges, ...

Re: Come home to a real fire
You got it one, Roboframer. We couldn't be without the wood-burner during the winter months, and although we ordered our wood a bit late this year :oops: we have now got it split, stacked and drying in the barn. I guess that any bare wood offcuts make for good kindling too! A word of warning: If you...

Re: Is there a way to remove a scratch from glass?
I know what you mean about reaching across a sheet of glass to cut it. Those of us who are of the female variety can struggle a bit due to short arms and (ahem) certain appendages getting in the way :oops: . I appreciate that you are short of space, but in my old workshop I used an A0 size drawing b...

Re: Float Mount Record Sleeve - Simple Method
I hadn't thought of that, I was thinking more along the lines of aesthetics! I'll blame it on the clocks going back (which we had completely forgotten about!).JohnMcafee wrote:A transparent material might not have shown up so well in the photographs.

Re: Float Mount Record Sleeve - Simple Method
Simple and effective. Would you normally use Melinex straps for this method, or use something contrasting (as in the photo)?

Re: Variation on a theme
I have to say that, not for the first time, I prefer IFGL's effort. Mind you, I never have been a fan of dark brown frames with a gse. IFGL's choice of mount and frame is more modern/understated, and compliments the colours in the picture. But then I guess it is somewhat down to personal preference ...

I've just stumbled across this blog ^^^^, and then found Richard's posting on The Framer's Forum. If you haven't yet taken a look, then do, it's well worth a visit.

Re: Reworked frame site feedback please
A great improvement, well done! Quick to load and easy to navigate. I agree with the previous comments regarding the darkness of the site, but this just illustrates the difference in taste from one country to the next.
