The Framers Forum

My brain is spinning and frozen at the same time. I’m sure I have attached similar before. Now I don’t know.

I have already cut and glued the moulding.

It’s printed mass production ”art” so if there is a solution but not by all the rules it’s ok by me.

It was that not return valve (I’m learning a lot of new words) that was broken. Found a company specialised in air pressure and hydraulic just 15 minutes away. So now it’s been almost one hour without starting! Yay!

I’m so relieved! So happy and lucky that my son fixed it.

Now a proper cleaning ...

Is this a valve?

My sons opinion is that this is the thing that’s broken. In Swedish it’s called backventil.

Thanks!

On my way there now with my son. He is confident that he will find the error and fix it! I’m not so sure.

The compressor is from 1994. Is that old?

I have this compressor från Jun-Air. It has started to leak air from the compressor itself.

Only holds (?) air for 10 minutes before it starts again.

I have removed the hose (?) so I know it’s the compressor leaking. I have emptied the water. Will try ”water with bubbles” tomorrow when my son ...

What do I do now? The painting is 32.3 cm on the right side and 33.2 cm on the left side.

Canvas glued to wood.

I’ve been thinking of adding some kind of spacer. But I really don’t know.

All these off cuts … Is it okay to use matboard as backboard? I’ve got more off cuts of matboard than backboard.

This forum is better than the grumble. At least if you just want to scroll around and read. The grumble’s layout and colours make me dizzy.

Welcome!

This is a great forum! People are nice and so quick to answer questions. Welcome!

A real weight
Some kind of weight I found in a thrift store. I have two and these are my favourite. Small yet heavy and that little hook as a handle.
From my son. It’s a bit to light. I like the thread, good grip.

This is my table (and mess). The previous owners made it. Except the drawers, me and two of my kids mounted them. I only have one table. (I’m in the process of planning for a second table. It’s the floor plan lying on the table.)

I cut glass, mount board, mat board and assemble on it. The top is ...

Copyright. I will remember that. Didn’t think about that at all.

If something is written on the back of the artwork I usually take a photo of it and send it to the customer.


I'd discuss it with the customer, asking them how important it is to them to show the signature and demonstrating that ...

Oh yeah!

Clever!! :clap:


The print is called "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" and if you Google up images of the original artwork, the 'signature' on the right of the print doesn't exist.
The artist's signature is on the top left of the image.
The print was obviously cut from a book collection and I'm ...

Thanks!!

I had a little conversation with myself.

Why didn’t I ask the customer?
*thinking*
Ping!
It was covered! By a label. The artwork was probably bought in a museum shop or something similar. I didn’t remove the packaging. (I’ll definitely do that the next time.)
So when I realised that the ...

I hate when “they” do it like this….

A kind of signature on the right. Should I hide it with the mat board? Or should it be visible? But where should the mat board edge be on the left side? I think the paper is to narrow.

I attended a course and one part was marketing. He talked a lot about that I have to get more reviews to get higher up when people search for framing.

A few weeks ago I got a visit from Keith :clap: and a gave me a copy of a framing magazine. With an article about handing out google review cards ...

The label on the back. Please decide for me. 8)

I have tried to search this forum, but it's more about what printer or supplier to use.

My predecessor had logo and contacts of course. She also had info that it was acid free and gram weight of both mat board and back board. And date and her ...

The previous owner left two Ikea benches for TV. I couldn’t see any good storage solutions in them until I turned them!
