I've just had to go on u tube and watch more of the who, the best thing about being an older framer (I turned fortythirteen last week). is the bands we saw in our youth,Bowie when he was Ziggy 1973, The Who at charlton with kieth moon, Lou reed on the same bill. mid 70s Led Zeppelin.Pink Floyd.then ...

I transported a morso and alpha 1 underpinner in a golf hatchback at the same time, no problem, avoid speed bumps. as for the weight dont worry i've seen people heavier than a morso driving cars.

I bought a morso EH Ialso had it put on wheels making it 3" higher (and easy to move).I also have a raised platform to stand on when using my alpha 1.the hight the pedal stops at with a cut out for the pedal. hey presto no more aching and hip and knee !the morso was a good investment,you cant p...

Top tip, buy some canvas boards, make frames to fit , a few flexi points and all the local artists will snap them up, no need to faff around with glass and backing, Then they come back to frame their good work in good frames !

A tricky one, we all wonder about ! when i started, a framer told me materials x 3 plus vat, hes been framing 35 years ! another said materials + 20% for wastage £12.00 labor + 40% profit +vat, I also have the origins school of framing chart which is pretty good. all very confusing ! I work out of a...
