I've just taken delivery of my Futura upgrade for the Keencut Ultimat Gold after a little play on one at the Spring Fair, having putting up with my wobbly Ultimat for too long. Very simple procedure to switch between the two cutter arms however on attaching the new Futura arm it is very apparent tha...

Hi Andy I felt your pain a day or two before Christmas. Had a customer in who was delighted I could get a rush job in before the big day as a last minute present for someone. Exactly the same problem with the exact same heat press!!! All detail very slightly blurred - but on something as finely deta...

Still on the look out for one of these...

Ah fantastic - i knew i'd seen it somewhere. Thanks

Hi I am trying to identify the following moulding. Does anyone have any idea where I can find it? It is a very matt black with a flat profile measuring 36mmx23mm. The upper front and back edges have a slim silver edging. Thanks in advance http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/EdmondFruitini/IMAG04...

Whilst changing my morso blades last week a failed to realise that one of the supports had taken an untimely dive into the waste bin and has since been sent to the tip. Doh! :Slap: A long shot but does anyone have a left hand rebate support for the morso spare that they would be willing to sell me??...

That's great. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Hi

Can anyone help with the identification of this moulding?

It is 55mm wide and 30mm deep.

Thanks in advance.

Have you got a code for the Arqadia one please Robo? I had a look through the catalogue but could only find the small version. The frame i've been asked to match is highly scratched "to buggery :lol:" - anyone bought any recently and know which supplier is selling the scratchy stuff. Thanks.

That's the one..., I think!

Thanks for your help. Very much appreciated.

Its 4cm wide by 1.5 cm deep. Do you have a code as I don't have a catologue handy.

It's neither of those Wessex mouldings, but thanks for your suggestion.

Am looking for an exact match ideally but if there are no better suggestions I would be happy to see some samples.

Hi

Can anybody help me identify this frame? It has a very slight cushioned profile and is highly scratched with red scratches on the centre and black scratches towards the edges.

Thanks in advance.

Hi John Ours get done about every 2-3 weeks. Nothing nicer than using a set of freshly sharpened blades! We started off getting them done at a local joinery company in their sharpening shop, before realising they were flat grinding them and rather generously at that giving a much shorter life span t...

The reason the question came up was in trying to obtain prices when a frame wasn't involved - single mount cut, mount and back, mount/back/wrap. We do quite a lot of mount work only and to price these in Est would be ideal. Would it make sense to drop the min amounts for mounting quite low and recov...

I have recently downloaded the Estlite trial and think i may have found the software to finally end my pricing nightmares! However I have a couple of questions regarding the pricing options. The "Min" price value added to all processes is puzzling me. I understand that the figure is used w...

Thanks very much for all of your thoughts. The spliced foamcore idea seems very sensible, thanks Robo for the direction to the flag thread - very helpful. How would you go about splicing a piece of foamboard that size? Much too big for the mountcutter. A handheld device? I have checked with glass an...

Long time lurker, first time poster seeking advice. I have been asked to quote to frame a woodcut print printed on 4 seperate pieces of paper (940x1230) which when laid out create a very large image of about 1880 by 2460 (8'x6'). The customer has asked that i trim the joining edges so that it gives ...
