Can anyone please help? I'm in need of a new underpinner asap. I have a compressor so i dont mind either air or foot operated. Any responses greatly appreciated. I've done the usual searches on ebay and loot with not much joy. I'm based in Warrington and can collect. Thanks Ann-Marie

Hi, i'm looking for a new mount cutter, idealy keencut to replace the battered model we have now, it's literally falling apart. We're in Warrington and i can collect from anywhere my sat nav will find. Anyone have one they want to get rid of asap?
Thanks Ann-Marie

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking of upgrading to a new printer just can't bring myself to shell out so much money. The w6200 is really old and really tempramental i'm sick of it, i've been in denial about spending the money now for three weeks i think it's time to bite the bullet!

after worst day of my life i'm looking for a will to live coz i don't think even the wine will help today!

I bought a laptop for my shop and i couldn't live without it. I use it for bespoke canvasses, buying stock, sourcing stock,everything! It frees up so much of my time at home. Also some customers prefer to be contacted via e-mail when work is ready, saves me money and is less intrusive to them. I alw...

The printhead has packed in on my large printer i've done the google search and contacted a few places the best price i can get is £442 does anyone use a company i could try? Have contacted a company in Amercia and it's actually cheaper than getting it from here!!

If you've already got one by now, sorry this is late i haven't been around much. I have a canon w6200 it's quite old and very tempramental!! i've been looking into it and you can hire instead of buy, might be an option before you commit to buy one, this would allow you to see if the printer is suita...

Yea think thats the one we have thanks, our chop comes from them anyway

My main annoyance with the BBC is that pillock Dom. If I hear one more customer tell me that Dom says I should ask for discount I will slap them with the Radio Times. I too suffer from this and totally empathise with you. Why the hell should i give a discount on something i worked hard to create? A...

OMG! just watched the clip, never seen it before. Feel sorry for the bloke but had to laugh £100,000 is a lot of money to trust to someone you don't know! But robo if you wanna split a huge jackpot with me i have NO problem with that

Thanks my catalouge is at the shop an i've been off for a few days with aforementioned teeth. i'm going in tomorrow so i'll have a look thanks. I know what you mean about looking corporate though. I actually don't think she'll have it done when she sees the examples. Hoping she'll go for the plain s...

Thanks i've been busy worrying about having to have 3 wisdom teeth out to think about it :( bohle do a similar thing here in the Uk i think when i give the customer the price she might drop through the floor but thanks to everyone whos posted a message...... if anyone else has any advise for future ...

Thanks for the great advice. The customer wants a silver top mount with black under mount, not asking a lot is she? Only way i could use this method would be to do as you suggest and she change her mount colour but she's very specific about what she wants. I think on this occasion that the customer ...

solid glass can supply us with polished glass and will even drill if it we need it it's just the whole putting it together business without it looking untidy. tried to talk her into a plain silver ali frame but she still wants glass.

i know can't use ready made clip frames as it 14 x 14 square, i tend to rarely turn work away and worry about how we'll do it later!!

totally different concept.... what about sticking it to a piece of coloured glass and framing in the usual way? we use solid glass for glass and bohle for permanent adhesive...might be a little out there....just an idea

I have a customer who wants 3 mounted photos framed without a frame, glass front only. I've looked through the bohle catalouge and found some mirror clips that might work. Can anyone please advise? has anyone else been asked for this type of framing and is it even possible? Doesn't have to be glass ...

yaeh i've e-mailed them about one of the rolls. There's a company in widnes who stock it but i don't know the name and i know for sure it's the right stuff so if anyone knows who they are it'd be a big help. I've even looked on yell.com to find them but without as company name i'm lost. i've google ...
