The Framers Forum

Has anyone got any experience in using the Boschr 7.2 PLO glue gun. If so could they kindly report back if they found it useful in the workshop. In particular, how quick does it warm up and if it creates the usual spiders web.

Is it still available?

Welcome, to the forum. I'm currently on resettlement from the RAF and intended on becoming a full time framer although I've subsequently re-evaluated my plans, owing to a great job offer. Don't be put off by being a hobby framer, you've clearly got the skills, I think you'll soon discover that your ...

My latest business purchase has been a bright orange (EX RAC) FORD CONNECT, known effectually as the 'Flying Carrot'. Just the sight of the 'Carrot' causes my wife to cringe and she has flatly refused to drive or be driven in it. The Carrot is due to be sign written this weekend which will enable me...

This is one of several Phishing scams currently doing the rounds. There is a very similar one which utilises Paypal as its backbone, but all have the potential for you to fall into the scammers trap. DELETE do not open or visit any links.

Steve, it’s a shame your not 3 inches tall as I’d love to keep you in my top pen pocket and bring you out when ever I’ve got a mounting issue. Fantastically answered and the reason I view this forum on a daily basis.

Thank you for the advice...why is everything such a battle, you'd think that the council would be falling over me to help and offer advice as it can only be good for the area to have one of the many empty shops filled with a tax payer. Not just TAX him'till he bleeds. I'll revisit the site and see i...

Finally concluded with Local Planning that the classification most suited would be ( sui-generis ) owing to having both a shop front (a1) and a work shop(b1), but the official guide to picture framing according to a secret little book that the planners go from shows it to be B1... So still no furthe...

Local Planning Dept that’s where my problems appear to start!!! Have found a place that has a shop front with separate workshop at the rear (this completely separate building that was utilised as storage by the previous user and was included within the rateable value for the building) the Local Plan...

Guys help me out, those of you who have commercial property and operate thier framing workshop from within...what class are you in... A1 or B1 or other?
Many thanks

Sounds to me like things are going great guns. I'm sure the customer will be more than pleased with them and will see that you ploughed loads of thought into them.
Open offer of assistance from me if you need anything.
Kindest regards

Just wondering how you got on with your project.

Welcome aboard Ceebdub, hope you manage to extract all you need from fellow members and good luck in your new venture.

Just recently I’ve discovered that my time management skills are not as honed as I often give myself credit for….*note to self, ‘Step into the real word’*. I’m slowly becoming bogged down with framing orders and although I haven’t let anyone down yet, I’m quickly discovering that my IN TRAY is causi...

Blinking ink!!!

Sadly the file is too large to download on the forum, for easy ref.

Hopefully thats everyone now...

There's a glut on fleabay at the moment.

I’d be interested in a little feed back regarding how far out the prices on the chart were against personal pricing programmes. My intention is to provide this to a shop who will offer my services and whilst not as accurate as I would like, it does ensure that I make a profit. I’ll look into a licen...
