Re: Framing workshop vs retail - planning restrictions and definitions
Some council owned light industrial units have restrictions on allowing customers to visit the premises - ones near us can only work via internet sales for their garden furniture that they make. But that is an unusual restriction, although it is worth checking. This one was put in place to avoid dam...

Re: Gilding with Gold Leaf. An Online Video Course
Giving this a bump as it has been mentioned in another topic. Dermot has been generous enough to share much of his knowledge on the Forum and his posts are well worth a search and a read. This course is a great stepping stone for those wanting to get into gilding.

Re: Beyond the realms of pre-finished mouldings.
As suggested, the topic has been moved. I've also "bounced" Vintage's post about his online course in Announcements so that it is easy to find if anyone is looking.
Justin, glad you managed to keep all your fingers!

Re: football shirt design
"Do not engage" as advised by Justin seems very sensible advice. It might also be worth contacting the CMC manufacturers as well if you haven't already done so - there are so many templates and formats on their systems and they would have evidence of dates and so on for when those were cre...

Re: FramR pricing software issues.
Hi Jamie We use FramR and haven't seen any problems as you've described. We have it running on two PCs at the moment and both are fine. We had been experiencing some lagging issues a few months ago, but that was down to an aging and struggling PC rather than a FramR problem, as our other PC didn't h...

Re: Mount border width cutting calculation.
Think of it as two different named versions of the measurement. You have the mount border size, and the visible border size. As Justin says, you can check the rebate depth of the moulding to see what the difference in those would be. We tend to just use the terminology with customers of mount border...

Re: football shirt design
Thank you for the information Nige2261.
I think that was the same sort of sentiment being shared back in 2019 when other very basic simple mount layouts were being "protected" as per my link, when again they are widely used. Hopefully other framers can help with shared images.

Hi Suki It might help get responses if you give a clearer idea of what you are after, and why.

Re: What do you call this type of corner - and what is missing in the holes!
That's interesting that they gave it that name in their book and makes you wonder where they'd seen it in that connection - as you say it may have been a particular design that had been given that name. Like Vintage, we'd only ever previously seen that style referred to as Kent frames.
Re: Best glue
Another vote for Titebond
We use Titebond 1 the majority of the time, Titebond 3 on occasion.
But a bit like asking, "which is the best mountcutter?", everyone will have their favourite glue, as Vintage has intimated.

Even with trimming down the height of the Nielsen moulding, we did get them to build out the back as well.Gesso&Bole wrote: ↑Fri 31 Mar, 2023 10:06 am I love the paradoxical use of the mirror slip
I've not used a Frinton frame for a while now - is there enough rebate depth, or did you have to build out the back?
