The Framers Forum

Cheers guys, was thinking mainly for handling, cutting, cleaning glass. Will have a look at all your recomendations.

Hi guys, not exactly 3rd World problems but was just wondering what gloves people wear for working and where from. Ive tried loads and they don't even seem to last a day! Advice welcome! Cheers, D.

Thanks guys I will explore both of those options.

Thanks Alan.

Hi again guys, I was wondering if there are insurance policies specific to the framing industry? Contents insurance, do I need public liability? Sorry I dont really know much about this sort of thing! Any info recomendations please, Thank you.
