The Valiani has found a new home. Thanks to all who looked at my post. I hope the new owner enjoys his new companion.

Third world working conditions
I just want to say that the heating is off and I am working in a short sleeved shirt. The last time that happened was in 2016. May your workshop provide spring bliss as well.

Re: Mainline All size stretcher Bars
Hi all thanks for your replies. I think I'll join geospectrums thought on this product, It seemed a good idea at the time but will try something else when my current stock runs out. I don't think the magic morso rebate support that slides into slots is a common accessory, though mainline did kindly ...

Mainline All size stretcher Bars
I watched the "how to" video on mainlines website for this product. Seemed great, just a morso and hammer needed. Hey presto a budget stretcher frame for those budget canvas / painted bed sheets, brought in by budget customers. However, I can't cut cleanly with my morso (type F). The slots...

Perhaps we could help you with some ideas for your show. Lets start this ball rolling 1. Anything by Georgie Frame 2. Theme from inspector...

Re: Scratch map of world
Thanks for your replies. I did contact the phone number given on the tube the map came in. They were quick to reply saying : Thanks for your email. We do not recommend using any form of heat on the map as it will destroy it. Heat and rollers would damage the foil so the only way, apart from a standa...

Re: Lets Play Phil and Kirsty
Great feedback, please keep it coming. Seems so far that workshop facilities can be gained from customer areas with no negative impact, interesting. Also been thinking about car parking.
