Hi Mark, I am sorry for the delay, but we have been busy perfecting everything and now we are finally DONE. Attached are the pictures of the first final product. We will use various elements which are joining the panels together, depending on the ocomposition of the poster. The 2 hanging elements at...

I found those square cutters in pursemaking section. Do you think they should serve the purpose?

Hello Mark, Thank you very much. I have made the prototype "mini passepartouts" using my hands indeed. And scissors, to make it worse. However, it was just a trial. I will definitely look for those chisels. It's a fantastic advice - I must look in the wood tools sections, not paper craft s...

Hi Mark, You were right 100%. We tried with 4 screws in the corners - stamps were moving between panels. Panels were bending and leaving a 1mm space along each side. Then we drilled extra 4 holes in the middle of each side of the panels, but the stamps were kept moving. We then decided to use some b...

Hi Mark,

I will be doing the prototype tomorrow and will let you know

Thank you Mark. Black sugar paper is a great idea to keep the stamp in place. I have one worry though: would the course surface of the paper damage the gum on the reverse side of the stamp? The stamp's gum is important for sollectors - sometimes more important than the front side :) The holes for th...

Thank you Mark. I really appreciate your insights. It helps a lot. I ordered 4mm thick acrylic panels. We will try first with 4 holes in the corners. Panels will be held together by bookbinding screws - we will see whether the stamps stay in place. This will be our trial, before figuring out how to ...

Thank you Mark. I must try first and see whether the middle stamps do not slide off. We can also use clips which are positioned by the edges, but I still see the same problem you have mentioned. It is below: antyrama-klipsy.jpg Nevertheless, we will try. There is another system of rods and clips lik...

Hi to all, I am interested in standoffs kits for double-glass (acrylic) frameless display in a floating style. The trick is that I must arrange elements between two 4mm thick acrylic panels first, without using double-sided tape, and then press 2 panels together so the elements are straight and do n...

Hi to all! I am interested in standoffs kits for double-glass (acrylic) frameless display in a floating style. The trick is that I must arrange elements between two 4mm thick acrylic panels first, without using double-sided tape to fix them, and then press 2 panels together so the displayed elements...

Hello to all, I am not a framer by profession, but we (I mean my company) frame a lot of stampart, which is an art created using postage stamps. Popularising philately is a tough job, as they say, but you are not a good marketeer if you cannot make hard-to-sale items attractive to broader public. We...
