The Framers Forum

Thanks Mark, I have one of the two hand held mount cutters ( did not look at name of ) , which I spent yesterday afternoon on cutting with, to get tight fit on penny so yes it does cut that small, all though a very unreliable method and frustrating, so today I need to go get new blades for the littl...

Hi everyone I'm new sInce yesterday and was hoping you may have a good idea on how to mount a WW1 memorial plaque known as dead man's penny, it is 5" wide and pretty heavy, some time ago I saw on the Web some ultra clear film a bit like cling film I suppose that would encase an object and be at...

aw thanks for the welcome Peter
