It looks terrific. I`m not surprised it pulls in customers. Where would you store the props if you have several themes throughout the year?

Looks the business!

It`s your round!

Anyone with a cmc, do you use a graphic tablet to produce designs for cutting? Which combinations of cmc and graphic tablet work/ don't work? What picture file format do you use? Any cmc noticeably better/ worse with graphic tablet?

It`s like a disappointment and a distraction at the same time. Someone dressed to the nines, all made up, groomed and ready to go ........with a large piece of cabbage sticking out between their front teeth.

Not `avin` one.

Ah. I`m beginning to see the light. Thank you, Robo and David. Vectors, tensile strength, etc.. The crane thing seems to me to be a different thing - distance x load = moment - which is rotational.

Where did all this "science" come from? Force equals mass x acceleration. The picture is not increasing in mass and gravity is constant in most people`s living rooms. The picture is stationary so there is no kinetic energy or impact strain. In short...

If I take the frame apart, use barrier board as suggested, fire points to allow more "movement" - I am minimising the chance of further cockling. Any more ideas on what to do with the art/paper while it is temporarily out of the frame?

Mmm! That was tasty. I wonder what`s for tea.

Looks like I`m gonna save my money and splash out on a large tub of rum n raisin instead.

I am looking to buy equipment to measure and cut fillets. New things to offer customers and bring in work. If you had to choose, which one and why? Filltetmaster? Filletpro Measure & Cutter? In the near future, I`ll need to cut a couple of fillets upto 130cm long. After that I guess they wouldn`...

Your right. As far as I know, the fillet is unbroken. I have a sample of your suggestion to bring with me. Ta, Robo.

Customer sent this photo with email explaining that the delivery people broke the frame which was sent from USA. The moulding and mount slip are from Arqadia but UK Arqadia don`t have this range.
