Re: FATG Website

Re: Framing a Trans

Hi Steven, Nice to see you posting :) Now that these wizz kids here understand "Trans" in Singlish ( Singapore English ! ) = "Trannie" in English - I hope you get the advice you seek. There are a lot of very experienced framers on here - even a few from USA and OZ - so wait a bit...

Re: Experienced Picture Framer

If you go to the Members icon ( top right) - then click on Location - then go to Page 13 - you will see how few Dublin framers are on the Forum. So for this reason - if not already done so, I suggest giving your CV to a couple of the Dublin based distributors. They will know all the framers, and pos...

Re: Inmes IS 3SE underpinner

Peter,

I doubt very much that companies as reputable as Lion and Taurus would sell INMES if there was a quality issue.
A good friend of mine is the INMES distributor in Ljubljana and reports happy framers in Slovenija.
