The Framers Forum

Yesterday I received an email enquiring if there was a position available in my company. on investigating further it turned out to be a fake with a zipped attachment that contained a virus. the laptop I used to open the file is now being taken care of. It looks like some Executives in The US has had...

#ZZZZZZZZ sounds about right!

Hi Nolan

give us 24 hr notice so we can meet up in Gloucester or Cheltenham.
It'll give me a good excuse to escape the in laws for a couple of hours.
cheers

If your leaving the moulding natural then you could dowel the mitres with the same wood. Do as robo said use a mitre vice and glue into the holes. If your going to stain your frame then be aware of what effect the glue can have on the stain your using. If dowelling don't use ribbed dowels but find s...

good stuff David.

you could get yourself a spindle moulder and manufacture your own but that all depends on how many your going to manufacture.

Nice work. I can almost taste the salt.

then apply a white wash or lime wa.

this is a chart I've been working on for nearly three years( spare time) which handles bespoke frames .....real bespoke not what passes as bespoke now a days. I can only show a section of it as my iPad screen won't show it all in one . Covers just about any hand finish going and if not you can add m...

anyone have the right arm vernier measurement system for the VMM guillotine or just the clamp for the sliding stop. As I can buy the virtually complete mechanism from framers corner but this part is out of stock for twelve weeks

don't think it will ever be finished :Slap: Another good feature is just by altering your key factor you can alter all the results, say for example you need to add a price increase done! This enables me to price for gilding a thin profile frame up to a chest of drawers just by inputting dimentions ...

Thanks David. I've just gone back to working self employed after 6 yrs of working for the good, bad and...very ugly. As soon as my laptop gets fixed I'll have my website live. www.thegildersstudio.co.uk Steve I've been working on a truly bespoke framing excel that covers purely hand finishing from a...

sorry but in the example shown, 5mm more on the bottom border is a waste of time In the example given the dimensions were quite small so 5mm is right . I guess your an half inch kind of guy....figures. Oxford English Dictionary..... 1.1A thing used to help perform a job: computers are an essential ...

I can't get my head around this concept. How can an app 'see' what you are framing? Mat (mount) borders are dictated by the nature of the image itself not so much the size. There are a myriad of other factors that an app cannot conceive. Colour of the mat, texture, the frame......etc. Where the pic...

Yes gentlemen of our age tend to swing both ways.

I think if you want to make it internationally acceptable you need to make it matric as well as imperial. :D Imperial doesn't work in excel. Anyway it's a pants method of measuring frames. I only use it when talking to elderly customers 60+ after quoting them in guineas, doffin me cap at the same t...
