The Framers Forum

Hi FF, just wondered if anyone could recommend a hollow ground blade sharpening service for Morso blades please? Thanks in advance...Andy

Hi Framer's Forum, A pretty standard enquiry here but does anybody have any surplus of this deep rebate frame please? The moulding is from Wessex Pictures and their code is C2189. Here is a photo: C2189.JPG I only need about 6 feet or 2 metres to complete the job. It's a shame as it is a useful deep...

I do not recognise it but I wonder is it from the Spanish supplier Enrique Lopez?

Hope this helps.

Hi again about the moulding. Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the replies. First of all a massive thank you to Not Your Average Framer as you clearly know your paints! I think an exterior matt finish sounds the way to go as you seem to prefer the matt finishes. Also B & Q is not a mill...

Hi everyone, Just wondered if anyone might have some of this discontinued tray frame moulding from Wessex Pictures? Wessex haven't got any anymore. The code is WF072 but It can be any of that series (WF067 to WF074) as it is the profile that is important and I can paint it grey. The moulding has a r...

Hi All again and thanks for some really useful feedback. Some idea I had considered and some I hadn't so nice to know I was on the right track. RE Prospero, yes a jet mounter. That's what I thought of. I used to use one of these when I worked at a photographers many moons ago. Definitely one of the ...

Hi there one and all, Long time fan, long time since last listing but I thought I might warn others of a problem I recently had and it might help you as well. I recently had a customer with a O/S Custom Made map centred on their home.I think they are brilliant maps and a great idea. Good value too.....

Hi Framers Forum, I have a Cassese CS 386 pneumatic underpinner for sale. It is in reasonable condition and does not seem to have been over used. Any buyer will need an air compressor as this is not included with the underpinner. The underpinner seems to work very well and is a very solid machine. I...

I think that you may want to be careful about advertising your skills at a cut price location such as a car boot sale. At the risk of sounding a snob (which I am not, I love car boot sales!), if you market yourself at those sort of prices, the subsequent customers that you attract may only want to p...

Hi Framers Forum! Just a quick bit of advice really. I have a customer who owns a Cassese CS 386. It seems in perfect working order but they may want to get rid of it due to space. I just wondered how much one of these machines is worth? I have always used a CS 810 myself for the last 25 years but t...

Hi all at the Framers Forum, I have been a long time watcher but only a couple of times a questioner on the forum but I have a question about availability of picture framing resources in the USA. To cut a long story short I have been commissioned to write a book about picture framing aimed at the am...

Hi Guys, Thank you very much for your replies. I now have my customer looking out for an old mirror to suit. That was a great suggestion because this puts the ball in her court so to speak in finding a match! Brilliant. Anyway, I shall let you know how she gets on and report back on the end result. ...

Dear Framers’ Forum, I have a customer who has a very old, two piece framed mirror. The mirror is in two pieces and one piece just sits on top of the other. Both pieces are bevelled but only on three sides. It looks as if it might have originally been one mirror and someone has “bodged” two mirrors ...

Hi John, Thank you so much for this. I will telephone them this afternoon and get hold of that moulding for my customer. This forum really is a brilliant idea and I am very impressed at the collective knowledge and wisdom of your members. Also thanks to Roboframer for the advise on the photo and als...

Hi Framers Forum, I am probably asking a real long shot here but I wonder if anyone has any of a Wessex Pictures moulding code E4082. It is an antique gold moulding about 1.25" wide with a distinctive turqoise line on the inner edge. I have a customer who wants to match a previous order but ala...

Hi, I am about to sell a Keencut 48" Ultimat. I bit of a track for you from Manchester because I am in Hampshire. However, I just wondered if you were still interested?
Kindest Regards,
Andy Parks

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the advice. I have done as you rightly suggest and left well alone. They do look good now in the frames so thanks again for all of your helpful advice. A really useful online resource and I feel this bookmark may well get used again very soon. Best wishes to you all. Kindest Reg...

Thanks John,

I will leave well alone with the cloth! Thanks for all your advice.

Kindest Regards,

Andy Parks.

Hi John, Thank you for your speedy reply. Yes it is to hang in an exhibition that does not allow glass. Mind you the largest one is about 5 foot by 4 and a half foot so I thought perspex would be the best bet. Of course the customer wants it cheap so the artshield option is not gonna be an option. T...

Hi Framers Forum, Long time since last post but having a drama.......! Does anyone have any advice on how to clean perspex without it smearing terribly? I have used a cleaner called Fast Glass as it claims to not smear etc. Have used it before on other pieces of perspex with no worries. I always use...
