The Framers Forum

brace yourselves, you'll be stunned

customer comes in with... This
on closer inspection... we see the mount (well calling it a mount is very generous)!
(note the staples)

then underneath the mount we have this !
hooray for staples and trimmed fibres.. this fabric work is stapled all the way around to a grey centred board with some normal staples..

The Back i was literally stunned..

I'll be stunned the day someone brings something in that hasn't been mucked about with.

sometimes you wonder what goes through the heads of these people when they think.... oooh lets staple it!

the mount took the biscuit though, that was beyond funny...

customer didn't want to spend the earth on having it framed either, advised we could attach extensions and restretch properly this was not welcomed.

Was it a DIY job?

haven't a clue...


more like a bodge job than anything. i never saw the original frame. just came in with its "mount".
