The Framers Forum

Although you've been posting on here already recently under the Guild's login as their Social Media person, it is nice to have you back posting on the Forum under your own name again Grahame/Mohawk_Scotland.

Hi Nicola

The edit function disappears fairly quickly, but Moderators can still edit posts for you.

I've done that now to show that the Morso has sold.

From memory we had to show we took orders and then customers returned to collect manufactured goods at a later date for the vast majority of what we did. A few pick up items were fine as long as the percentage of that kind of thing as part of our overall sales was low. Can’t see you having a problem...

And between £12,001 and £15,000 rateable value you can apply for Small Business Rate Relief to reduce any cost.

Some council owned light industrial units have restrictions on allowing customers to visit the premises - ones near us can only work via internet sales for their garden furniture that they make. But that is an unusual restriction, although it is worth checking. This one was put in place to avoid dam...

Giving this a bump as it has been mentioned in another topic. Dermot has been generous enough to share much of his knowledge on the Forum and his posts are well worth a search and a read. This course is a great stepping stone for those wanting to get into gilding.

As suggested, the topic has been moved. I've also "bounced" Vintage's post about his online course in Announcements so that it is easy to find if anyone is looking.

Justin, glad you managed to keep all your fingers!

"Do not engage" as advised by Justin seems very sensible advice. It might also be worth contacting the CMC manufacturers as well if you haven't already done so - there are so many templates and formats on their systems and they would have evidence of dates and so on for when those were cre...

And yes Jo/Alec, this is on the list when I see you later this month...!! Absolutely, we will have a look at your machine set up and how this is working for you. You will get arguments either way from people who swear that their version is the right way to do it! Personally we glue and pin, adding ...

Hi Philip The seller may be OK to post their email on the Forum. However, they may prefer not to do that at this point. If that is the case then you can contact the seller via private message, which is emailed to them, through the Forum. Underneath their details on the right hand side of their post,...

Sorry to hear that your health is causing you to close down. Best of luck with moving everything on. I'm sure there will be plenty of interest. Just for info: As Moderator I have deleted the other 3 copies of this post that appeared on other parts of the Forum. Keeping one post in the Adverts/Sales/...

Sorry to see you go as you've been an invaluable member of the Forum for many years. I hope you have a relaxing, enjoyable and very long retirement - you've certainly earned it!

All the very best to you.

Hi Jamie We use FramR and haven't seen any problems as you've described. We have it running on two PCs at the moment and both are fine. We had been experiencing some lagging issues a few months ago, but that was down to an aging and struggling PC rather than a FramR problem, as our other PC didn't h...

Think of it as two different named versions of the measurement. You have the mount border size, and the visible border size. As Justin says, you can check the rebate depth of the moulding to see what the difference in those would be. We tend to just use the terminology with customers of mount border...

Thank you for the information Nige2261.

I think that was the same sort of sentiment being shared back in 2019 when other very basic simple mount layouts were being "protected" as per my link, when again they are widely used. Hopefully other framers can help with shared images.

Hi Suki It might help get responses if you give a clearer idea of what you are after, and why. There was a Forum post in 2019 that referred to mount designs being registered, such as these https://www.registered-design.service.gov.uk/find/bnd6mvoz/92379063/designsbyowner which caused a discussion at...

If you create a new message and try to attach them again. Click on the attachment tab below your message when creating it, then add files. There is a maximum size allowable. You can then preview to check they show, and rotate them if necessary by clicking on the circle arrow next to the image line. ...

That's interesting that they gave it that name in their book and makes you wonder where they'd seen it in that connection - as you say it may have been a particular design that had been given that name. Like Vintage, we'd only ever previously seen that style referred to as Kent frames.

Another vote for Titebond

We use Titebond 1 the majority of the time, Titebond 3 on occasion.

But a bit like asking, "which is the best mountcutter?", everyone will have their favourite glue, as Vintage has intimated.

It’s been that long that I’d forgotten I’d recommended it! Glad you’re getting stuff sorted though.
