New Framer - South Yorkshire Woodworking.

Post by sy_woodworking »

I kind of fell in to framing when my son wanted to have some of his signed football shirts framed, and I saw how much it was going to cost me :shock: , so I went on a course to augment my woodworking skills with some framing skills too and now I've started to sell my services to pay for the extra tools I've bought for the workshop :lol:

As the name would suggest I'm based in South Yorkshire, Sheffield to be exact and looking to specialise in shirt framing.

I've recently got a 2nd hand Dexter cutter from ebay to up my mat/mount game and I'm on the lookout for a recommended supplier of replacement blades if anyone knows of any in the UK.

I had to look up what a Dexter was. Maybe this one?

I've found a couple of places that sell them, along with some that say they're for a Fletcher F-1100, I've ordered a pack and some other stuff too to make the £9 delivery worth it.

Thanks for the link JustInTime.

I've found that the "Swann Morton ACM No.24 Spare Blades" are the same dimensions as the Dexter No. 3 blades, but with a different hole, but as the cutter doesn't use that hole it doesn't matter. Their SM 03 blades look like they might do the trick too.
