The Framers Forum

Hi Jamie We use FramR and haven't seen any problems as you've described. We have it running on two PCs at the moment and both are fine. We had been experiencing some lagging issues a few months ago, but that was down to an aging and struggling PC rather than a FramR problem, as our other PC didn't h...

Think of it as two different named versions of the measurement. You have the mount border size, and the visible border size. As Justin says, you can check the rebate depth of the moulding to see what the difference in those would be. We tend to just use the terminology with customers of mount border...

Thank you for the information Nige2261.

I think that was the same sort of sentiment being shared back in 2019 when other very basic simple mount layouts were being "protected" as per my link, when again they are widely used. Hopefully other framers can help with shared images.

Hi Suki It might help get responses if you give a clearer idea of what you are after, and why. There was a Forum post in 2019 that referred to mount designs being registered, such as these https://www.registered-design.service.gov.uk/find/bnd6mvoz/92379063/designsbyowner which caused a discussion at...

That's interesting that they gave it that name in their book and makes you wonder where they'd seen it in that connection - as you say it may have been a particular design that had been given that name. Like Vintage, we'd only ever previously seen that style referred to as Kent frames.

Another vote for Titebond

We use Titebond 1 the majority of the time, Titebond 3 on occasion.

But a bit like asking, "which is the best mountcutter?", everyone will have their favourite glue, as Vintage has intimated.

It’s been that long that I’d forgotten I’d recommended it! Glad you’re getting stuff sorted though.

Do you have a technical support contract with Wizard Germany? They changed the business model a few years ago when Framers Corner stopped being their distributor and UK support. My understanding (and I don't have a Wizard, just aware of previous chats about it) is that unless you have a contract wit...

Dermot and Justin: Lovely bit of work and always good to hear about a bit of collaboration between framers :clap: Fascinating to see the areas you've had to repair/rebuild and then the finished frame with seamless blending so that you'd never know it had been done. We've dabbled in this sort of thin...

I've not used a Frinton frame for a while now - is there enough rebate depth, or did you have to build out the back?

Even with trimming down the height of the Nielsen moulding, we did get them to build out the back as well.

This is one for our wall next to the design desk. We sell a good number of Frinton Frames every year and customers love the flexibility they offer to change decorative elements or colour. We decided to create a wall example to (hopefully) act as a great advert for selling even more of them! :clap: W...

We’re with BT at work. Not the cheapest but good service, very good if we ever have problems and it comes with an EE back up dongle which has proved useful at times.

The correct phone number for the seller is 07989 731468

If you have tried to contact them on the previous number, please do try again on the correct one.

Thanks

Jo

I hope you will continue to actively engage with the Forum - your post has had plenty of views and comment and sparked a discussion. Nothing wrong with that.

Hi Fusionframer I've edited your post to rotate the image. Once you've attached it, click on the small circle/arrow next to the attachment description and a thumbnail image of the photo will show. Then click or tap on the image itself. It will spin around. When it is in the right orientation click s...

Mainline Mouldings - cannot fault their service and they use a genuine Morso machine for sharpening

https://www.mainlinemouldings.com/index ... tmentID=13

We've used them for years and highly recommend. Easy pick up and drop back to you via Royal Mail/Parcelforce.

That's a great start to a Friday

Good quality ceramics, fused or blown glass art, stained glass decorative items or mosaic art items seem to do well in some of the independent small gallery shops in this part of the world. Particularly if made by local artists.

Hi Zac

Welcome to the Forum and to framing.
