hi
my names sean and ive never made a frame in my life.
but i have just bought a pro turner foot under pinner.
so i expect to to be making some soon?
i collect crappy old movie posters [NOT expensive ones i hasten to add!] but would maybe like to try to expand it into a small business at some point as i seem quite good at searching them out.
is there any threads on here i should be looking at for a total newb to framing?
im mostly looking at making bigger frames. namely 30x40" and 4x5' frames. which are going to work out expensive i know.
i can also say im usually rubbish at replying on forums haha.
looking forward to trying to interact with other framers
frame virgin!

Good advice is best learned, rather than simply listened to.

Re: frame virgin!
Hi and welcome,
Once bought a job lot of Lobby Cards from the 1950's and 60's, they were a very good bit of stock as I was framing for the hotel/pub decor market. Wish you the best of luck.
