The Framers Forum

Thank you all for that advice. A lot to take in there. Thanks also for the offer of a sale of a Logan 750.

Thank you both very much for your replies. Sorry for the delay in my reply. I have been away for a few days. To answer a couple of points raised: 1.

Hi, (Please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place with this - I am new to this forum.) Can anyone suggest a good way to mount metal medals on a 18mm thick chipboard backing in a medal case? Some of the medals have ribbons but some don't. Also, there are almost 100 and I would prefer the layo...
