The Framers Forum

My latest Norfolk Mouldings made to order moulding arrived today. My first frames in this moulding are for a customers Lenkovitch collection. He wanted something wide and stunning, I've had the idea for this stackable moulding for a while, all I needed was a customer to order some framing to use it.

Having got the order, I did the necessary drawing and ordered it. It is designed to be stackable to virtually any multiple of the basic moulding width, with totally invisible joins. For this particular job the moulding is finished in disstressed black over red with Simons F2 ribbed gold moulding as a liner the overall width being 6.5". This is two widths of my stackable moulding, plus the liner. A Lion catalogue is included to give an idea of the actual size.

Unfortunately, the red bits where the black has been distressed are hidden in the follwing image by the glare from the camera's flash.

Designing your own mouldings is not as difficult or expensive as it may sound and well worth considering if you haven't done so before, but have a desire to do so. You don't have to be anyone special to do so and I only needed to order 100 ft of moulding to do this one.

Looks good Mark, but your link to enlarge don't work and nor did your last one.

Sorry about that John,

I can't get it to work now either, now I have hit the refresh button on the browser. Obviously it appeared to be working because my computer had a non refreshed copy of the image.

Can't you just put your image in to 'my pictures' and then use the 'upload image' in the reply box?

Hi John,

That does not work with my computer. I think it's a compatablity problem because it's an older computer running Windows 98 and as such will not work with later versions of Javascript. If I am correct, it seems that most image hosting sites now require later versions of Javascript, where as the site I now use is still HTML driven.

Unfortunately I need to play with it and find out why I cannot get the links to work. It's probable something very simple to put right, but until now I did not know it was not working. Hopefully I will get it right next time.

My operating system came ready loaded onto the computer and is an OEM copy registered through the shop who supplied the computer. It will not update directly from the Windows online update facility, but can only be updated through the shop I bought it from. That will cost money which I would rather put towards a new computer sometime.

I clung on to 98 for ages after XP. In the end I got a new PC and put XP on. It's a lot more stable than 98 and you can set the themes so it looks just the same as 98. Dunno about Vista though. I have heard strange things about it.....

Send me the big picccy if ya like and I'll host'n'post it. I'm interested in Lenkievicz frames(spell it right for gawd's sake. ). I had a big canvas locked in a cupboard for three months waiting for the go-ahead to frame it. In the end the owner flogged it and I never got to do my thing with it But I did a lot of research on his framing styles.

I think that the ability to upload an image is a function of the browser rather than the OS.

I have just uploaded this image using my W98 machine and Internet Explorer 6
If your browser does not let you do this, try another one.

Are we talking about Robert Lenkiewicz here? Sorry - I'm getting a bit confused. I frame the work of his son Wolfe, but i still have trouble with the spellin.

I am sure Prospero did that on purpose to see who spotted it
