I'm based in the UK and have a need for a chop service supplier. I contacted Lion today and they stated they do not supply this.

Who are good alternative chop service suppliers please

At present I have a baby Bench Morso ( likely to be replaced with an F manual ), Stand alone foot operated Under pinner and a custom built workbench . This is currently adequate for the business I currently operate with School exhibitions but am looking to move into the bespoke market. I agree the G...

Maybe an Overhead Flash Unit enclosed in a soft box might do the trick. If you have a local potographic club they also may be able to help and I would think have the necessary hardware available to borrow to test out. It is the standard eqipment used in studio photography.

I like the idea of this thread as a newbie to the framing arena this could be a great source of education. By showing what has been done incorrectly and then explaining the way it should be done can only be extremely useful.
Thanks to all

Many thanks for that, been on the site and placed a request. They have a very interesting history page . If you know the serial number of your Morso you can find the age of it. It seems my little one was built in 1955. It really doesn't look its age and cuts really well wel for a small unit. Be inte...

Does anyone have a user manual for a Morso BA Bench Guillotine that is either no longer required or could provide me with a copy please. Happy to pay for costs.

Did you manage to get a retrospective rebate ?

I have had a problem in joining the mitres of what appears to be LDF \ MDF mouldings. What is the best glue solution to use before underpinning. Under pinning alone doesnt work as using PVA then underpinning.
