Sent PDF "Perfect Double Mats" Best Dermot Hi Dermont, I am relatively new to framing and I would be interested in the Perfect Double Mats PDF if possible. I also use the Logan 450 intermediate cutter. I have had a few problems cutting the board, the lines were not always straight. I noti...

Hi, I have been asked if I can source some In Your Face Pink coloured moulding. Anyone know where I can get some? I have suggested plain moulding that can be painted first as an option. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Bill, what nipper pliers did you get?

Many thanks for the replies.

Today I made me first complete frame! Very pleased with myself. However, I do have a question and I am hoping you guys can really help me. I used SA tape on the back to seal the frame and I found doing the corners very difficult. Looking at the back of a frame I have in the house, gummed tape was us...

Hi everyone, This is my first post. I have recently started to do my own framing and I need to find somewhere that stocks wood stain pens so that I can finish off the small area of wood that shows sometimes in a mitre joint. Does anyone know of a supplier in the Nottingham / Derby area or a good onl...
