The Framers Forum

I have bought small items from the forum with no problems. Apart from a morso bought from a supplier and couriered, with no problem, everything else was collected. Most framing equipment, in my opinion, is so delicate, that I wouldn't trust a courier or their insurance to ensure that its not thrown ...

Ebay "underpinners", couple of cassese at around £700 and a gielle ex demo that needs a service.

Buy cheap and twice is a terrible idea...
I've lost track of who's been serious and who's being sarcastic now...cs88 is a brilliant machine btw

"... sticking four bits of wood around the edge... "
I guess that's all we really do!

"...am I missing anything about the process that should raise flags?" Perhaps consider the size of try frame mouldings that you would like to underpin. If the tall edge width is 10mm or more you should be fine, if its an 8mm or less then I use a dovetail router on the tall back and underpin the shal...

Sorry I meant the Fletcher 2100, like the one that Ade704 has for sale at the moment.

Have a look for a Keencut Ultimat Gold or a Fletcher 2000. Both older models. I use a Flatcher, but Keencut is British so parts are easier and quicker to source. Friends who use the new Keencut model, say they prefer this older model.
Good luck.

The grain sounds like Obeche and I'm wondering if they've reversed a moulding and inserted an mdf tray at the base?
Looks like maybe you could cut down a R+H A344?

So am I the only one that just found the "Delete Cookies" button at the bottom of the screen. Is that normal in Forums?? I've been cleaning my cookie cache on my browser, as I thought John suggested, but have still been thrown off every time I reply to a post. I was about to give up on the group, bu...

I second this and would even go further and say rounding up to the nearest £5 would be even better. Lots of my customers prefer round numbers. I must be taking your comments too literally John, but really?? I thought the whole point of your software was that once it's setup, it's a case of "the mach...

If you search ebay for Morso F and check the "SOLD" box in the filters, you'll see that recently they have sold from £200 upwards. Plan chests go from £200-£450 i think. I recently bought a plan chest. Its very helpful when the seller can suggest a local courier who can palletise it (strap, wrap and...

I've recently been lent a bandsaw for my workshop.
I've found it really useful for customising/making spacers from offcuts.
I've managed to keep the dusty tools in a separate garden shed workshop.

I've spoken with Nick at Mid wales Freight, sounds like he knows what he's doing.

That looks great Alan!
I live in a traditionally Baptist area, this would fit right in, in one of the local Chapels.
What would you have to charge for something like this?
Justin.

Bingo!
Security Firewall was blocking it.
All sorted, thanks John.
Hopefully I'll remember this next time...

I've found a program in the list called ESTsoft, which opens ALTools Update.
Is this something to do with it?
When I open this (ALTools Update), it says there is a problem with my network connection and to contact the administrator.

Ive tried opening it in the program list as an administrator as well, still the same result.

no

No, just the one on desktop.
I usually use the shortcut pinned to the bottom of the screen (Win10Pro)

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Est\EstLitePlus.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Est"
