Re: Morso F For Sale - London

There's also a Cassese CS79 underpinner in the departure lounge... c/w a few wedges and a few other bits 'n bobs. £150 on its own, or £100 if taken with the Morso.

Re: Borrowing a trick, or two from tabernacle frames.

I see what you are saying, Mark: anything even slightly naff would totally put off the customers you're talking about. I was just tying to think of something truly bespoke....an offering the mainstream couldn't viably match. But I agree with your reasoning as to why it wouldn't work. I suppose that ...

Re: Borrowing a trick, or two from tabernacle frames.

How about offering personalisation on the base bit, Mark? Generic wording, such as 'Home', 'Love'. 'Peace' etc is out there by the boat-load. However, how about offering true personalisation for the base: could be the customer's name, or words relevant to the subject matter: ''The stag night', 'Alga...

Re: Chevron question

Hi Matt Firstly, I think your (stunning) one-offs are your calling card - and the sign of your superb taste, craftsmanship and eye for detail. These will automatically ad 'kudos' and perceived value to any simpler mouldings you choose to offer. If I were you (and maybe you already do this), I'd disp...

Re: Poster stuck to glass

Take a pic of it, to show to anyone who ever asks what mounts are for! I re-framed a poster for a mate a while ago, and it had been glued (carpet glue?) to hardboard. All I could do was cut a mount exactly the same size as the bleached out one it came with, and put it in a nicer frame. Anyway, good ...

Re: Alternative way of pricing?

Like others have said, it looks brilliant. BTW, what about a patent? Seems unfair that big companies could potentially just swoop in and do their own version without you getting anything for the idea and toil that went into perfecting it. Any road up, well done :clap: :clap: :clap:

Re: Getting paint inside sight edge

Many thanks, Mark.

I will try to be careful not to get the paint inside the sight line area, but just wondered whether people masked the area as a matter of course/good practice.

Getting paint inside sight edge

Good morning, everyone. I wonder whether you could advise on hand finishing, please. I have made a rim out of bare wood (pine) for an oil painting. The frame needs to be be painted to suit the artwork, but should I worry about getting paint inside the frame's sight edge (i.e. where the artwork touch...

Re: Window mount sizes query

It's a thorny old chestnut (if you'll forgive the mixed metaphor). All framers (the experts customers trust) are trying to do is deliver the best, most aesthetically pleasing and visually 'correct' job. I suppose, ultimately, if a customer notices the bottom weighting, it's been overdone (that's a g...

Re: Free Mount Cutting Videos

When I say 'natural', I don't mean slick and showbizzy. Rather, you come across as someone who is complete in command of your subject yet, equally as important to me, is in no way arrogant, flash or superior about it. To me, It feels like a good friend who is trying to show another friend skills tha...

Re: Free Mount Cutting Videos

What a fantastic resource, David.

You're an absolute natural in front of the camera, and have a lovely manner about you.

This will be permanently bookmarked for me.

Hats off to you and Keencut (Refs, can we get a 'hats-off' emoticon thinnggy!?). :clap: :clap: :clap:
