The Framers Forum

:D Welcome to 4 new members who all signed in this weekend - all good friends of mine. Davar Bahar from Istanbul in Turkey, Steven Yip from S'pore, Cliff Newton from Portugal. Plus another called Gold Filet from S'pore and I can guess who you are :wink: - but that's perfectly OK to use a nom de plum...

John, I see your brain and body clock is still in the USA time mode! Go to to bed and get some sleep ! :wink: A tip - when you get on a plane set your watch to the time of the destination. Concentrate hard on the time there - if its night time - dont read or talk close your eyes and try to sleep. An...

Anne Marie just came and picked up the Keencut. She seemed well pleased with its little used condition. Its so nice to know that thanks to this forum a post in Wanted last Sat. makes a newbie framer happy on Tuesday. And my wife is also happy :D - I gave her the dosh! So darling - you may moan about...

Fellow framers....

Whats a fair price to ask

Hello Anne - Marie,
You say NEW - but do you mean new (secondhand)??
I have a Keencut Laser 48inch - not much used.
Bollington is not far from you - maybe 45 mins max.
Call me 01625 574806 after 5pm today or Sunday after 2pm

Khoo, I totally agree. Most footballers are totally over paid, and too many are not good role models to the youths who admire them so much. To give you an idea how much I know about football I once sat at MAN airport having a coffee. There were 3 men at the same table - I had no idea who they were. ...

I know a smart framer in S'pore - Joe Lim - he really knows how to handle the "Can you knock a bit off" type . He works out the price, and quotes the customer, and then puts a price about 10% higher in his calculator and leaves the calculator on the desk. Joe Public asks for a "discou...

Most of us are too cheap anyway. Thats why there are no big picture framing chains, and thats why very few of us have ever had two or more shops on the go. Because we dont charge enough. : Kev is absolutely right.............it reminded me of the lovely story a local framer told me. ---------------...

Adrian, Can I be the first to welcome you to TFF Its a great place for info and I'm sure you will get an overload of advice, not just from UK, but also Eire, the USA (the man with the big eyed dog) and maybe even OZ :) I am not qualified to advise you, but I would suggest you get a web site asap - i...

.[/quote] Thanks but what view at 38000 feet? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :giggle:[/quote] Silver Cleave, I have been very lucky - the framing industry gave me the chance to see much of the world. And some of my lasting memories are from 38.000 feet.- I have seen Ayers Rock, and it still looks big from ...

Hello J Paul
If yours was made in 1957 then it should be numbered between 2080 - 2242

G'day :) Jonathan, Down under - my favourite country! I know all the distributors and a few framers in OZ. If you want any introductions just ask. In which state are you planning on working? Or maybe a small ad in Profile - The OZ framing mag might get you a job http://www.profilemagazine.com.au/ Th...

Jared, WOW - :idea: Thats a very informed and thorough reply. Thank you :D I cant stay on line - its 7am and due to meet the artists husband in 15 mins at the swimming pool & steam room, where a group of old far*s have a chat each morning. He will be most impressed when I tell him.... Jared from...

An amatuer artist quizzed me over Christmas about doing her own framing. She is quite talented and has 40 plus nice paintings stuck in a portfolio. She has used a local framer but finds the £50 plus for an A2 size too expensive and that is why she wants to do it herself. She went to the local art sh...

Here's another that's good.

Nowdays many airlines give you the opportunity to select your seat when booking on line.
So with this link you can get a better seat, and avoid being over the wing if you want a view, or too near to the toilets.

If anyone wants a really good Travel / Hotel / Airline web site then look here. Pilots, cabin crew, and F.T.'s (= Frequent Travellers) post their considerable knowledge and experiences. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ But if you want to see the most ridiculous topic ever started then look here... ht...

Happy Christmas Everyone!

Well its the time of the year to be a bit silly and let your hair down!

Danny, Just a thought - get the 3 machines you need - chopper, underpinner and mount cutter + all the ancillary items then ask a trainer to come to you. That way you are learning on the machines you have bought. With low pound and your savings in Sterling much cheaper to buy your machinery in UK tha...

Aine,
This place is not the same without you!

Bonjour Danny,
vous êtes le même que moi - lever tôt !
Le magazine est dans le poste ce matin.
