Good afternoon.
I'm new to picture framing - having arrived from photography
Mount cutting and glass cutting are both relatively new experiences to me, however I'm pleasantly surprised to find that neither activity is anything like as difficult as I imagined it would be.
Frame making is much more familiar territory ~ I began my working life as an apprenticeship served bench joiner.
I am a retired structural engineer, retirement having been enforced upon me in 2004 by several severe strokes.
Photography has been an excellent rehabilitation process for me.
And I have returned to my bench joinery roots, now having set up my own workshop and doing a lot of wood-turning.
Framing my own photographs seems to be the next logical step.
If I may, I will enquire when I don't know.
In the unlikely event that my knowledge or experience may be of value to anyone I'm very willing to share it.
I hope to become acquainted with, at least, some of you as time goes by.
Kind regards,
Jack
