The Framers Forum

Thanks Mark,
It doesn't look like the Genisis or Fletcher 4000 are readily available these days, so it's back to the Hoffman.
Having finished my day underpinning a 700x500 oak frame and have the wedges push the mitre open (again), the Hoffman is looking very attractive!

Thanks All,
Mark, what brands are you thinking of? Any spring to mind?

Hi All, Just looking for some advice. I've been framing for about 9 months now, working a lot with hand finished frames, Tulip, Ash and Oak. I am wondering whether I would be better off swapping my Cassese CS1 for a Hoffman dovetail router. As I was warned, the Ash and Oak are tricky to underpin, st...

Hi Mike,
Do you still have the morso second stop for sale?
Thanks

I can recommend the Daler Rowney D88 One Stroke brushes. I'm new to hand finishing too, but this is working for me, although time is the issue until I get faster, oh and space. Having 15 frames to finish at once in various colours is a headache.. 2x coats of primer undercoat, light sand between coat...

My American framing guide said scotch 810 tape, any reason not to use it??

Sorry Chris, sounded like you got a package of all three for £100...
Square does look like the best deal atm, more for the reader than sumup, but one of very few able to take over the phone/keyed in payments...

Where did you gte it for that price??

Thanks everyone, it's great to know there is help and advice out there!! I'll have a look at the Munken board. I've specced a nice thick Arqadia board for this job. Thicker mounts seem to be popular with artists in these parts... Steve N, we're talking the same language!!! :clap: :star: :star: :star...

It's not wanting to vastly over order, or have to wait a week for another delivery that's bothering me.
Am I crazy to think I can add all the measurements together and see how many sheets fit into it, and round it up to a pack??

Hi All,
Just wondering if someone has a quick answer to help me out!
I have 14 different sized mounts to do for an artist.
Is there a quick way that i am missing, to calculate how much mountboard I need to order??
Thanks
Justin

Have you got any photos of the cs88, showing its condition?

Hi James
There's one come up on eBay today for £490, in Suffolk, sadly too far for us, looks very well looked after.

Ah, so this forum is the estlite forum!! Like I said, newbie...

Thanks, I will have a look at a few of those.

Hi Colin,
We are in the early stages of setting up a framing business and would be very interested in having a look at your pricing calculator for PC. If suitable, we will be happy to make a donation. Many thanks Justin.

Hi all, Newbie here, in the early stages of getting setup here in west wales. Looking for some unbiased feedback about pricing software. Having looked at a few programs, from a reputable framer from Bristol (who is a member of this group) and one advertised on this forum and numerous others found vi...

Hi Oaksmithstudio! Any more thoughts on selling this?
