Hi Trecelyn, do you mean barewood mouldings? In this particular case it was a finished moulding and unfortunately it was one I really like to use as it's slightly unusual. I also tried a narrower version of the same same profile and a had a little more luck. However, the narrower profile was warped....

Hi

I was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with lengths of moulding where the width varies on the same piece? I have just had the misfortune of wasting two lengths in trying to construct one frame!

Thank you all for the replies.

Much to think about and experiment with!

Thanks again.

Hi I'm being asked more often to frame without a mat and I was wondering what members here used to keep the glass away from the work? For smaller pieces I have used 3mmx6mm strips of wood from modelling shops but as they ususlly come in 450mm lengths they're not great for larger pieces. I have used ...

Hi I have a large (85cms x 60cms) photographic print for a customer. It's printed on a textured, thick paper. I've opted to go with mounting it in a tray frame, similar to a canvas, using self-adhesive board for rigidity and a lightweight substrate behind to attach the frame. My concern is how to pr...

Thank you all for the replies. Most helpful! I am using Corri-Cor and was looking for something slightly cheaper for my less 'bespoke' output. I have been looking for a reasonably priced bench end gullotine as this would have other applications! No luck as yet. Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, d...

Hi

A general question - what do you use to cut MDF backing, say 2mm -> 2.5mm? I am debating whether or not I should bite the bullet and spend on a used but quality cutter or if there are any other realistic methods. Bearing in mind that it's a small workshop!

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the tip!
Looks like a new one is in order.
The firing pin is welded to the spring holder.
Another lesson learnt!

Thanks

Hi

My point driver (Inmes FI-150) has decided to only fire points one in every 4 or 5 trigger pulls. This is despite using their own 15mm points. They seem to jam on the second or third trigger pull.

Is there a remedy or should I get a new one?

Thanks in advamce

+1 'Wow!'

Hi Justin

PM sent.

Many thanks for the replies. It seems that I need to secure the moulding before cutting and check the rebate supports.
Thanks again.

Hi I hope everyone is keeping well! I'm having a problem with cutting (mainly Oak) frames. I've had the blades sharpened and checked for damage and they are apparently ok. For some reason there is a small chunk of wood taken out of the left hand mitre cut. Does anyone know what might be causing this...

Hi

I've had similar problems! I bought a small photographer's blower brush as I don't have the room or turnover to justify a compressor. It does work most cases although on larger pieces of work it can be a tedious process.

Hi I've been asked to frame a large print by a client. They would like the frame to match, as much as possible, the frame of a mirror in the same room. I've searched the catalogues I know of and can't find anything. Would any of you happen to know of anything similar or be able to point me in the ri...
