Re: A lesson to be learnt, one way or another
Steve's right best wait we have done this before and it didn't pan out as well as hoped. you are hoping that the artist has measured correctly and assuming it is square, plus allowing for the folds as mentioned before may be tight on time but will be even tighter if your frames are wrong and you hav...

Re: large mirror frame commission
beautiful work Geoff
I make things like this too and the time in them is sometimes unaccounted for as there is a real love of creating the end result.
I may be better off being a plumber!!!
Just framed an albino stuffed badger.
experience if nothing else
