Hi,

Can anyone recommend a supplier of Persex/Acrylic domes?

My original supplier has retired and im going to need to find a new one sharpish.


Many thanks.

Yes the CMC is my favourite bit of equipment and i certainly couldnt now live without one. I dont have a wall mounted glass cutter and think this is definately worth investing in. Yes of course being tidy and organised is a great way to help speed up your days work and efficiency (i have a mild case...

Hi, I took over a framing business 2 years ago and inherited all the machinery from the existing owner which although useful is really dated. We have trippled the workload in these last 2 years and im now finding the machines are slowing me down. Every machine is foot operated and every aspect of ou...

Thanks for the input guys, We've only had our business for 18 months and have had to have a few clear outs already, its hard to just throw away off cuts and mountboard but like you say its probably going to end up sitting there for years. Im really trying to prepare for the christmas rush, as i wasn...

Hi, I know im not the first and certainly not going to be the last, but our shop is quite small and so we have limited space for storage. Has anyone got any tips or solutions to saving space other than moving premises? Is there certain machines that are best suited to a smaller sized business? Thank...

Thanks for the much appreciated input guys, as far as the space issue is concerned i may be able to come to an agreement with the lady who lives above our shop to cut short her agreement and move out, she seemed quite happy to do so.

Im looking for a Morso, glass cutter and possibly an underpinner,
so long as its working the overall condition isnt too much of a problem.
if you have one please feel free to contact me on- whitewallgallery@hotmail.com

The balloon clamps is a really useful tip as i would have no idea before hand.

Yes its Sam at Framers corner im buying the machine off, i was just wondering what pro's & con's there might be with this specific machine. Im sure there is good and bad points with the Wizzard 8000 as there is with all machines, and so im just trying to get a heads up and trying to gather tips ...

Ive just committed to purchasing a second hand Wizzard 8000, is there any advice or info i will need to know about this product and is there anyone who has Positive or negative views? any info would be greately appreciated?

regards Matt

Inherited when we bought the business however it's just collecting dust. Open to offers

We have recently taken over a framing business and are gradually upgrading/updating equipment.
We are in need of display equipment like a rotating moulding tower display to help save wall space. Please contact us if there are any available or for sale. Regards Matt

Hi sorry to hear about you closing, what display equipment do you have?
