The Framers Forum

Think its called plagiarism :D Copied from the the USA framers forum Posted by Jim Miller one of the top educators in USA ================================================================================================================== Oh, wait. Are you saying that someone teaching a framing course...

Somewhere on my travels I met a framer who made his own corners in each colour he stocked. He cut them 8 cms wide by about 80 cms long Then he could position the 2 over the customers artwork to make a "temporary" full sized mount He told me Joe Public found it much easier, and quicker, to ...

October show in Bologna cancelled I was about to send out on Sunday 5th my Munken UPDATE to 204 people in about 50 countries Its includes a plug for the October show in Bologna, which most of my distributors will visit The organisers knew this back in the middle of June that it was cancelled, but t...

Dont customers ask for some bizarre things! :head: I wish the paper industry would get a very simple message across to Joe Public Trees are like apples, potatoes etc. They grow in the ground, they are used , and then more are planted OK I agree trees take a lot longer to grow, but they are still a c...

plus if you get some training before buying equipment, you might find out that you are no good at framing :sweating: or you are not cut out for it :doh: :itwasntme: , so you have not wasted your money on equipment you are not going to use, you can just walk away :wounded: A post from Steve that I t...

Cheers Kevin,

Same time try Specsavers

May I chip in here ? Preferably before you start buying any equipment get some training :yes: Then the chances of buying the wrong equipment, stuff off EBay with parts missing ( there was such a post yesterday) will be greatly reduced Also any trainer will save your hours of wasted experimentation (...

Ask heike.erices@heloart.net
She is the European sales agent for Logan

Thank you to Steve and NYAF (aka Mark Lacey) I assume that when she joined she will have had to provide an email address Can we ask John to fire off a short email asking her to see how much help was offered, but which she never ever saw. :head: And saying the least she can do is to tell us how and w...

Sophie came on here May 30th and apart from a second visit May 30 hasn't been back. So most of the helpful replies made after May 30th haven't been seen by her. This behaviour really Pi**es me off. :head: I will give her some slack in case shes had an accident, but SOPHIE - if you are reading this p...

Can you make one or maybe you already have

And post a picture on here

Lets see how it looks

Sophie,

I sent you a private message couple of weeks ago.
Please try and open it

Regards

Keith

Norrie, You are not dreaming! :lol: I've recently discussed exactly the same concept with a 3 friends, all well past retirement age, but who still have all their equipment + boards + mouldings etc and still do the odd frame job. They all have the same idea as you. So much better to sell the entire l...

Agree Cassese and Alfamacchine are definitely the 2 I see most frequently on my travels There are 2 more >>> INMES from Brazil, sold by LION and Danlist (aka Morso) from Denmark. I never knew Danlist made underpinners until last week, when I saw a photo of one that had just arrived in Vietnam. Its t...

I was chatting with Andreas Shiatis in Cyprus recently and asked him how long have you been framing. 68 year s was his answer ....got me thinking, Is there a story here for Art & Framing Today, and also on here of course :giggle: Born July 9th 1940 he started when he was 12. His father George sa...

Marks reference to the french lady teacher reminds me of an amusing incident from a visit to a frame show in Paris many years ago. I was going out for dinner with Robin & Lesley Lockwood from Keencut I had to book the table for 8 in total, We were eating at Bar a Huitres at 8 pm I phoned the res...

Mark Valid comment,I could not list all of them, But you and Prospero do deserve some praise, with over 20.000 posts between you :ninja: I now see I missed the most important bit of info ....The website for anyone who has a smattering of French https://www.encadreur.org/forum-encadreur/index.php

I look at the French equivalent of this forum very infrequently. Nothing has changed since I last reported. Its a forum where there are plenty of questions but rarely any answers. 4 examples 1) A framer wanting help with his Fletcher.>>>>> 1075 views 2) A question about 2 sided adhesive. >>>> 1,223 ...

Alan, Maybe you meant to write A! A0 is 841 x 1189mm ( 33 x 46 inches). I cant imagine the post office handling such a huge size, but maybe their parcel service does. What condition might it arrive in? But Sophie wrote she wanted 840 x 640 which is a tad over A1 (594 x 841mm) For speed and convenien...
