Wishing all Forum Members a Happy New Year (albeit a tad belatedly ).
In particular, I wish that financially it will be a much kinder year for all than 2009.

Beannnachtai na Nollag
Hi all, Despite the fact that I've not been well enough to contribute regulary here for the last 6 months or so, you are always in my mind and heart. Being so poorly, I have not been able to send out any "real" Christmas cards this year, so I'm sending you an E-card instead. Wishing you al...

Re: Doom & gloom on the high street?
It's appallingly quiet in NCW. Given that it's the last shopping week before Christmas, if anything there are fewer cars on the road than during the many quiet months the town has had during the past 12 months (as best I know, given that I've been 'housebound' for nearly 6 months now). For the coupl...

Attention Cork-based Framers
Hi,
Are there any Cork-based framers that offer needlework lacing services to customers? If so, can you let me know ASAP.
Thanks in anticipation.

Re: Guess who's Birthday it is today?
Thanks for remembering me on my birthday, chaps! Had a nice restful day (a luxury for me!).
Here's hoping by the time the next one rolls around that things will be much better.

Re: A Big Thank You
New premises looks dead posh, J! It seems to have a lovely spacious and airy feel to it. Congrats to yourself and Sarah for getting up and running so quickly.
Wishing you both continued and increasing success in your swanky new location.

Re: best way to store moulding
With stock mouldings where the machining tolerances are reliably tight and where there's negligible variation in finish, experience has led me to do the same thing.prospero wrote:If I get towards the end of a length and see that I am going to end up with a silly little bit, I'll start a new length.

Re: Grumble Technical Problems?
That may be true, John. But in terms of value, the general quality of your posts probably outweighs the quantity of the posts created by the garrulous Paddy puisín and that insolent Lincolnshire upstart (you know who you are :P ) put together! ;) Reverential libations being stockpiled here in eager ...

Re: best way to store moulding
Another fantastic example of how valuable the sharing here can be, Mark! I would never have thought of such a clever strategy in a month of very wet Sundays!Not your average framer wrote:If I've got a pack of four lengths of moulding, then I'll make the off cuts a little larger so I can sell it as a ready made.

Re: How much does the best cost?
Before I became a framer, I got work done by a business that was definitely better than the bad lot. The people who actually carried out the framing (cf. the people who owned/ran the business, and who also took most of the orders) trained their staff to hinge paper-borne art using double-sided tape ...

Re: best way to store moulding
For beginners using chop, it may be a good plan to slow things right down when pinning the frames. No second chances!
