Re: Green Framing
Priceless! I laughed so hard when I read this that I fell off my chair and have been in traction ever since. I’m still in agony as I’m convulsed with deep guffaws every time I think of it. It must surely be only a matter of time before some jumped-up little blow-hard starts crowing about how much gr...

I haven’t attended a trade show for years, there’s not really enough to attract me. I have just about all the equipment I need, and don’t need to see the latest mouldings – the reps will show me those. Nor do I need to see the latest prints as that side of our business is in decline – hastened, I th...

So that’s all right then. Not. OK, some pimply youth with no life experience, whose only knowledge of computers is through interactive games where you can be as brutal and vicious as you like, and nobody really gets hurt, might be able to get away with such a mealy-mouthed excuse. An adult would jus...

Hi Washey21, You are very welcome on this forum. It seems to be a rule, that every public forum attracts at least a couple of know-it-all braying asses. As you have discovered The Framers Forum is no exception. While everyone seems reluctant to speak out against such poor manners (why?), you will fi...

Welcome to the forum Framergeek. Have you looked at http://www.artframer.com/ ? I seem to remember one of the members here mentioning that they use it, perhaps they might respond on this thread. Keith, the Internet has no boundaries in the traditional sense. So is it not possible that someone in the...

Robo, I apologise for not seeing that your quote was attributed to Hugh Phibbs, were you using that tiny font again? I was able to see it better in a later post where you repeat the author’s name at full size. To the outside world, picture frame mouldings, as a subject, must seem pretty boring and m...

Imagine for a moment the situation being reversed: - Pictures have been framed in plastic from time imemorium. It’s the only way we know. Now imagine trying to introduce the notion of using wood as a framing material. (Such an attempt would surely be rebuffed robustly by highly qualified people quot...

Hi Keith, I agree that the quality of your website is often an indication your business's level of professionalism. However, the examples that you have given may not be the best to illustrate your point. Just looking at the first group - Australia 1. Ormond's site, www.ormondsframing.com, will not r...

Sorry I missed your earlier comments Robo. I'm genuinely glad that you didn't jump ship, this forum would not be the same without your lively input which is 99% entertaining, informative, and helpful. (Too bad about the 1% pain-in-the-tits though. :) :) :) ) Better that you stay here with us where I...

Picture Business Forum
The Picture Business is hosting a new forum. Moderated by the man whose name is synonymous with "agony", Pete Bingham. Not sure that having a whinge about the members of other forums is the best way to start out Pete, but it is interesting to see that one of your first members is actually ...

Please lets keep things in perspective here. It is rare that the average framer gets a job where he should be fretting that sometime next century his work will be opened up and it will be found to be extremely important that the very last traces of his PH-neutral self adhesive tape cannot be removed...

Sometimes I despair. In the past some newcomers to the forum have been made to feel less than welcome, but to come under attack before even making your first post is hardly an encouragement to participate. We have had endless posts about how the establishment shuns the forum, yet when someone of sta...
