Wishing for a Chevron stand....

I'm in East Sussex near Eastbourne
But can travel of course...

Lots of new samples coming means a better option for displaying them presently.

If you have one spare, and wish to receive some beer tokens for it, please let me know.
Many thanks

Re: Morso - right cast table and pivot screw/bolt for pedal wanted.

Funnily enough...my LH pedal bolt gave it up this week.

I have just put a handy bolt and nut in its place and is fine.
This may help you little

Re: Art suggestions for gallery

If you have plenty of wall space, why not try renting the wall out? A metre at a time vertically for instance.....artists don't often understand (or turn a blind eye) to how running a gallery works and thus "try it on". Add to that, most have facebook and Instagram accounts and etsy of cou...

Re: Lost property

I'm also just starting out and I can see that it may be awkward to ask for a deposit or full payment beforehand if the client is a friend or a local business owner whom you know and have previously done business with, but otherwise I don't see a problem with asking for it.
