The Framers Forum

Vintage Frames, I think you are way short on your estimate of charges.

One of those frames has wood loss in addition to compo loss. The replacement wood would have to be pinned to the main structure of the frame on the right. It would be necessary to see the entire 2 frames to see the scope of the project. Being on the other side of the pond would be problematic for me...

With that volume of production you might want to look for a used CMC.

I would be charging about $100/ hr considering a labor rate plus overhead on my machine

Stating the obvious. I see that the vertical brackets are only single vs double weight uprights. You need to use commercial weight uprights vs the consumer grade. A second note, hammer each shelf bracket into position so that each finger of the bracket is set securely into the uprights. https://www....

First off, is this a decorative piece or something that has to be preserved (conservation framing)? Second, an air gap between the art and the glass is essential for conservation framing. Third, non-buffered alpha cellulose or better boards should be used for organic materials such as silk. I would ...

Does the backing of the mount have sufficient size allowance to allow for the expansion and contraction in the rabbit (rebate)? If not that could cause the bending of it with humidity changes.

Sorry, I posted a response in another "mirror" posting. Your framed mirror is in the 55 pounds(25 kg.) range. Depending on the strength of the wood frame, I would use 3 screw strap hangers or use a French Cleat.

Why are you using 6 mm MDF as a backing? Its very heavy and 3 mm should work fine.

Based on 6 mm mirror, that is in the 3 kg range plus the weight of the frame. I would consider those as a smallish mirror. Just about any quality "D" hook hardware with one screw will do. Just make sure that you are using wall anchors in the drywall (plasterboard) appropriate for the size of screw b...

Yes, it is not blocked in America

Are you saying the the art was mounted to a sub-straight by another person (possibly the customer)?

If so, you have to tell the customer that customer supplied items are "as is" and not warranted.

Your idea is very doable. Place the temples behind the mount/backing board.

If you are not reversing the position of the blade before you allow the blade raise, that is the problem. The blade has to be moved away from the cut prior to raising the blade.

Yes they make 2 smaller versions of spacers - FS-2 and FS-6

look at
Sodium Hypochlorite, 5% AKA bleach

THEIR CHOICE cleaning with bleach is their decision is the issue with any framer, not just you. There are cleaning agents other than bleach.

Mark, did you have to give "all" the secrets.

That is easy. Just bring back the frame for me to detach the spoons, you can take the spoons home for cleaning. Bring back the spoons after cleaning and I can reassemble the frame back together.

The charge will be xxxx.

The alternative, a magic wand.

Per the second photo, the map appears to be printed on paper. My first procedure would be to place the map in a humidity chamber (a large plastic bag will do) with something moist like a sponge in a jar with holes in the lid. After letting the map relax for several days I would place the map under a...
