Ok, update panic over...Security software found a new way to contain it..
But the rose and hollis excel sheet. any thoughts?

Also, I now have an excel sheet of pricing from Rose and Hollis, is there any way that I can drag and drop this into the software?

HI John, Update time again...(I don't find this easy...) Wanting to update from 9.0. I followed your link on your announcement, through to the Estlite page. Switched off my firewalls...tick Downloaded it, opened it. Its a brand new version without all my settings. How do I now move all my preset mar...

That's funny, I've had exactly the same moulding come in this week. It was dated 1989 on the back..

Thanks Mark

Happy New Year to you all!
No shop window here, but we're lining up some gilding training for February, very excited to be moving the goalposts, up up and away!!
Hoping this new decade brings us all fresh challenges, new markets, success and happiness.

I only use blue foam corners if it's being shipped, otherwise I recycle all the suppliers bubblewrap. If you want blue corners, buy it in lengths and cut to fit removing a V, to make it turn the corner. The big reveal is an important part of the customer experience. I agree with others, if the corne...

That looks great Debbie.
Just be aware of how you position your d rings/hanging cord.

I can highly recommend a Cassese CS88 and you can pick one up for the same price if you're lucky. It will be far superior to the M1 imho.
Never seen or heard of a black frame covering, other than paper.

It's still only available in warehouse packing sized rolls, not handy wrap size yet.

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?
