Re: Alternative solution for joining deep frames
I've seen these before but I was always concerned about the possibility of there being an indent left in the moulding. We mostly use factory finished stuff in here so unfortunately I don't think we could use them but I really like the idea. It looks to be a nice quick solution

Re: Cold Turkey
Really!? That's interesting - maybe it was the style I recognised then, those fillets were always a sure giveaway

Re: Cold Turkey
Hi RoboJohn
I must admit that I did think it was you - you do have a particular way of saying things Also, you recently shared an image that I remember from a few years ago. Anyway, good to see you back again

Re: Poor cuts
Hi, yes quite simply the blades weren't sharpened correctly. Whilst they're been sharped and the edge is probably good that's not all that's involved with Morso Blades

Re: AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the Art & Framing Industry
I think the whole AI art thing is just incredible & I can see both sides of the argument. My background was IT/development so I can appreciate the genius of the process - what humans can create these days is virtually magic. I did take a look at DALL-E but the only stumbling block was me!! When ...

Re: The Forum’s 7000th member
As a whole I like this forum, I've learnt a lot from it - and that's what brings me back. When I first joined, (10 years ago!! Where did that go!?) there were more framing techniques & samples of work that I particularly enjoyed looking at. There also seems to a lesser feel of community now and ...

Re: Mount chevron display
Hi Nolon, yes I got for free I just asked the rep - actually I didn't know there might be a charge!! The one I have is slightly different, at the top where it bends/folds there's a bit of reinforcement, I guess the original design may have had a weak spot

Hi guys, thanks for all the replies - Some really good things to consider. I totally forgot the 'Gilding for Dummies' post!!! I've went back to that and I'm going to give it a try, however the gold size seller won't ship to my address. I've found another product and listed it below - would this be a...

Liquid Metal Metallic Paints
I have a few little things I want to make for sample pieces for the shop - I'd like to offer some basic hand finished stuff. Nothing fancy just something offer colours that wouldn't usually be available. Personally I really like nice metallic gold sight edges but I'm not sure on the best method or p...

Re: Mounting CDs
For records etc we usually use paper fasteners. I'd like to think they'd also work with CD's - I can't remember the size of the hole though
