Hello,

We’re selling this this material cutter as it wont fit onto the walls in our current workshop. Let me know if you have any questions

All done, On reflection I would have chosen a bigger frame to give the crest some more breathing room but I was working within the constraints of a small budget so I’m fairly happy with the results. The customer was also pleased Again thanks for your advice. I’m tackling the A0 3D map today. I’ve bu...

I offered all the the suggestions to the customer and noted that it may be damaged if he wanted to reframe the original. He said he didn’t want to reframe it in the future and really wanted to see the weathered edges so I did a float mount with two T-hinges. Will post the final results once it’s in ...

Haha, not sure why it flipped round.

So it’s actually a painting onto glass. So I framed it, held it in pace with some spacers pinned to the frame and then installed LED strips behind. The background will be what every your wall is.

Loving all that I’m learning along that I’m learning

Good shout Jfeig,

I’m going to offer that option

Best Regards
Zac

Brilliant,

Thanks for the responses. Mark that was the route I was planning to go, I’ve even cut the smaller mount ready.

Reassuring to know I’m thinking along the right lines.

Prosperous - I’m going to check those Mylar edge strips out- Thanks

All the best Zac

Hi there,

I thought I’d show off the bespoke frame I made for one of my own paintings. It’s pretty simple - except for that fact there’s no backing and there’s LED strips built into the frame.

I hope you like
Thanks
Zac

Good morning to the most helpful forum. I hope you’re all doing well. I’ve been asked to frame an old family crest. It’s fairly old and the paper has started to disintegrate slightly. I’ve looked at the hinge mounting method. I’ve also searched the forum and keep seeing people talk about the hedgeho...

That looks brilliant Steve. I’m currently ordering from Lionpic so will look at their deep rebate mouldings.

Out of interest, which glue did you use to stick it down?

Many Thanks
Zac

Mark, Thank you!

Just what I needed. It is a fairly daunting project especially considering the size. I’m going to pick it up next week so I can see it in the flesh and get a real idea of weight and material etc.

Where would I be without you Mark!|

Thanks again
Zac

Thanks Justin,

I appreciate the help. That’s really useful. I was deffo thinking I’ll need spacers. My main issue though is mounting it. Would you just tack it to foam core or something like that?

Thanks in advance
Zac

Picking up a CS88 and a Keencut Artist Plus. Very excited. Thanks for all your help

Hi there,

I hope you’re all well. I’m fairly new to framing and have been asked to frame this 3D map. https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/dorri ... nd-annecy/

Not really sure where to start. Any suggestions?

Many Thanks
Zac

Hi Mark,

Does this look a decent deal to you? It comes with a few extra things. Can’t wait to start using one!

Hi Mark, Thanks for the options, I appreciate it. I’m tempted to save the cash and go for something like the pistorious but I think I’m going to go for the Cassesse 79 or 88. It should be more than enough for a few years. I’m sure you’ll be hearing from me again as I am a true novice but I’m enjoyin...

That’s awesome, thanks so much for the replies me I really appreciate the detail. I have looked at the CS88 and that’s what I was leaning towards but hadn’t considered the Pistorious. What’s the advantage of going for something like the Cassese? Does it have more functions or is it just a bit sleeke...

Good afternoon,

I hope you’re well. Up to this point I’ve been making frames with hand tools and I’m looking to get an underpinner as I find it difficult with curved or funny shape mouldings.

My budget is around £500. Any recommendations? Any to steer clear of?

Thanks
