The Framers Forum

Thank you Mark, that looks to be exactly what I wanted, can just substitute the base with something a bit more decorative!

Apologies if there has already been a thread on this one. Had an enquiry from someone who makes wedding cakes and cakes for other occasions. She has asked us for a box frames for wedding cake toppers - fine, we can manage that. She has also asked for see through boxes for christening cake toppers, w...

Looks very impressive.

Any kind person have the mat I could scrounge to cut frame corners on a Wizard 8500E please

TIA

Hope my wife doesn't see this, she'll be looking for the therapist!!

Arrived in one piece thank you and now have Steve Goodall's guidance to help me get it up and running.

I have a carpet tucked away in the corner that is brought out for cutting sheets of glass. I just place it on the floor then use a 5ft T square, score the glass using a SILBERSCHNIT cutter then just run a steel rule under the score and hey presto two pieces of straight edge glass. In the beginning i...

Received and in use.

Try Framers Corner, they may have some used stands available.

Small order from me too.

We ship frames and mounts out most days throughout the country also using double walled cardboard and polystyrene around the edges. A lot of our cardboard is from the bridal shop next door though we do occasionally buy 48"x48" sheets in but quite expensive. We also use Parcel Force after t...

I've had someone in the shop asking for a coin and text to describe it to be mounted and framed in a double sided frame (glass both sides). Having never done this before I'm looking for advice as to the best way to do it. Customer wants plain wood (oak or ash) Also no idea on price for this sort of ...

Ours is due next week, really looking forward to the challenge.

Had the software for a while and that seems reasonably straight forward but will see when the machine arrives
how big a learning curve it is.

We have tried most of the carriers and to be honest Royal Mail seem to be the best with hardly anything damaged, lost or stolen. One we will never use again is Yodel, out of six packages two arrived smashed to smitherines, they were each for different customers! One conignment spent three days sat i...

We are closing early on Saturday and are booked in to the Tamworth Arms on Saturday night for B&B and will be at the NEC for doors opening on Sunday morning.

Our main area of interest will be the CMC's though a general nose about will also be in order.

We have had three work experience kids in our studio The first one was very pleasant but a little shy. She seemed quite interested in photography and was keen to help. The second one was an absoloute star who was at the shop before we were on a morning and to be honest I would have employed her. She...

We are going on the Sunday, travel down on Sat after closing the shop, a night in a little hotel in Tamworth then a few hours at the show then back up to Durham ready for Monday mornings rush (I wish).

99% of our on line stuff is ordered in inches but sometimes they want the aperture in metric

We have an A4 Epson V750 scanner which when we get big stuff in we just scan in bits then stitch it all back together in Photoshop. Up to now no one has ever notced and to be honest when it's done I struggle myself to see where the joins are as they become invisible so anyone in your area with an A4...
