The Framers Forum

I’m clearing equipment I no longer have a use for, or haven’t used for a while.....and the Hotpress is one item. I haven’t used it for about four years, and have rolls of various papers to go with it. I bought it about six years ago second hand from a Framers business which was closing. I’m open to ...

I have been asked to frame an antique flintlock pistol...which cost £900.....simple, I hear you say. But the owners are two very flamboyant gay guys who want a gaudy frame....and a Lego figure in the frame....and a ‘bang’ coming from the muzzle. Don’t ask. Firstly, what are the best things to use to...

New home found, thank you!

I have a quantity of small ready cut glass.....6x4, 7x5, 5x5....approx 200-300 pieces. I’m not likely to use them and they’ve been sitting under cover for too long...so they have to go. Free of charge, collection only from near Woodbridge, Suffolk.

Apologies, sold.

For Sale....Morso F, with left hand support, chute, collection box and (if I can find them) what I believe are extensions for the rebates. Surplus to requirements. It has been stored in a dry garage for a few years and could do with a good clean. Blades included.. Reasonable offers considered. Colle...

All sold.

I'm having a clear out of equipment I either don't use anymore or never used, so I'm asking if anyone is interested.....I have two Morso's......one is imperial and probably one of the early ones, the other I think is an F. I have what I think is either a Framers Corner or Logan mount cutter, a Giell...

I have a SMART CMC, which does exactly what it says on the tin......quite basic when compared to Valiani, Gunnar ect. I am thinking of upgrading to an 'all singing all dancing' CMC........BUT.......due to space restrictions, it has to be virtually upright (The Smart is, that's why I got it) and fit ...

Tuffnells ........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I would like to sing the praises of Peter from Framers Equipment who travelled down from Northampton early one morning last week, arriving at my house in Romford at 7am.....dismantled my Smart CMC, loaded it (with the help of a friend) on my van, followed me to my new workshop just outside Woodbridg...

My workshop is at last finished after having the roof changed to flat and raised by two feet to accommodate my Smart CMC, so now I'm asking for opinions on heating......oil filled rads or electric rads......the workshop is fully insulated and double glazed (thanks to some acrylic sheet cut to size a...

Sold!

I have 45 sheets of 3mm thick White Ingres Mountboard for sale. It came with some other bits I bought a couple of years ago and I have no use for it. It's been stored flat, but one edge has become dusty. Apart from that there is nothing wrong with it. No idea what make it is, sorry. Must go as I'm m...

No, the Smart is upright on a stand thankfully, like the Valiani 120.

Lots of shoofing around to do then........

Most helpful, lol

At last my purpose built workshop is ready....it's 14x10 feet, with a ceiling clearance of 90 inches to accommodate my Smart CMC, which will be against one of the 10' walls. I have a Keencut Excalibur to fit in, along with a plan chest which has my Hotpress on it and a work surface which has mountbo...

Understated but impressive.....

Having purchased four print browsers I wondered what would be the best way to 'package' small to medium size unmounted posters? i have enough pulp board to act as a backing/protection, but am unsure what sort of 'celo' type bag to use....I want to keep costs reasonably low if possible.
