Looking at the profile and wood type I suspect I know the supplier of these two mouldings. I too have had difficulty cutting and joining them, if they are what I think they are! The wood itself, the density, varies considerable in a 3m length and is generally of poor quality IMHO. The back continual...

Drive or take the tube to DJ and Simons

It's Arraglas, try this page https://translate.google.co.uk/translat ... rev=search

Anyone around the Glasgow area could frame the attached 10" single which instead of being round is like a circular saw with jagged teeth, so the top mount would need to be cut on a CMC. Got a friend who lives up that way looking to have the disc framed so I'd like to direct to someone who can d...

So now you can push your business foward!

Rather than Black, which always looks a little flat to me, I'd use the Arqadia Onyx black core. Onyx has a nice sheen to it, much deeper than a flat black.

Frame wise either a nice shiny black aluminium or maybe shiny silver aluminium, probably the black.

Tru-Vue Conservation Clear isn't that expensive.

Tru-Vue Museum Glass is expensive but if they're only concerned about conservation...

All the best Steve, I'll call in when you're up and running.

Reported in ABT :( FOLLOWING THE gradual decrease in size of the art and framing hall at Spring Fair International, it has been announced that from 2015 this will no longer be a discrete sector. Companies selling artwork and framing will be in the newly branded HOME area of the show. In 1990 the art...

No, I expect you too die Mr. Bond

Being pedantic, you only know it's been opened! Read, digested and understood is another matter

How about an aluminium moulding, I'd guess that the likes of Arqadia and Neilson have the extruded lengths longer than the normal 3m of wooden moulding.

Meant to say that I went over to Telford and was astounded at how many prints of all sizes and styles the guys have, all excellent quality.

Well worth a visit but do allow plenty of time to search through the multiple racks and rows, it's not a 5 minute job!

Nice bunch of guys as well.

The sticks for the above job were also a re-frame. The original framer had used double side tape the length of the sticks, the sticks fell off the backing the first night the frame was hung! Customer took the frame back and had it re-done, this time the "framer" stapled Velcro onto the sti...

I recently did sticks and a head but seperate frames, signed by different drummers. For the head I cut a circular bevel on foam board, very slightly larger diameter than the internal of the head. Glued the foam board to crimson suedette, gentle forced the head over the reverse bevel. Finished off wi...

Could be interested, is it a go'er?

T'was a lovely day in Brum, the weather being much better than the art and framing section of the Spring Fair.

I think it'd only bring in a small crowd!

Hi Justcat,

I call into Lion on a regular basis and would be happy to pick up a copy for you and put it in the post, should be cheaper than minimum delivery cost.

PM me your details if you interested.
