Lion moulding called Lazio?

A customer wants ten of the same print framed exactly the same way for an awards evening. With the framing specifications, my pricing program comes up with about £50 for one framed print. How much discount would you offer for ten?

I just reinsured with NFU now I am on the high street. I was with them when I worked from home also.

Looks great. Hair thing made me laugh out loud though.

Wonderful. Close the door for a few days and play.

Thanks for the replies, gentlemen.

Yeah. Me neither.

I keep some 2mm mirror glass and sometimes make up small mirrors from offcuts. It seems the mirror edges are prone to browning / tarnishing. Any suggestions on how to stop/slow this process? Ta.

Polite reminders till month 5. Then I say that legally I am allowed to sell their framed art to recoup my losses. Worked so far.

Great job. I have been asked to do drum sticks but never a drum head.

To fix shirt&inset to mountboard, I first decide on 5 to 7 attachment points/areas. Then for each area I drill two tiny holes. The distance between the holes is the diameter of the curve in the upholstery needles.

It might be quickest to add a ribbon to each.
Cut a slot in the mountboard, feed through each ribbon and
hold each in place with piece of card. Slot n slide method.
Quick and reversible.

My wife has a "food intolerance" to some foods. I am allergic to long-haired cats. No yet had a pathological hatred for anything. So I`ll steer clear of these two groups.

If you turn off the music as a customer enters, do you still need a PRS license? (and whatever the other one is)

Lovely lady just in. Runs a shop selling cushions, pictures, mirrors, etc. Brought in a framed print which had fell off wall and needed new glass. During a long chat, she said, Playing Radio 2 increases sales". Before I could stop laughing and ask her to elaborate another customer came in and t...

It reminds me of an old knock knock joke.

Knock, knock.
Who`s there?
Sonia.
Sonia foot and it really smells.

I`ll post a photo soon. I`m leaning towards screw/pin from underneath each shelf into little Snoopy feet. (Sounds barbaric!) However as Roboframer states, I`m concerned the fixings will be too visible. In discussion, customer was not the least bit concerned with irreversiblity or conservation for fu...
