Re: Price check needle point
So at what you state I see a labor rate of about £35/ hour. How does that compare with an independent auto repair shops labor rate? My gut feeling is that it might be a bit low. Garage mechanic hourly rate: Low Range,£40 High, £80 Average cost, £60 Copyright Checkatrade. Using this information in an...

Re: Hedgehog method
Can we gather that the 100 x 100 dimension is cm's? As such, where are you going to have the window mount cut from such that there will be sufficient width to support everything?

Re: Learning time - what caused this damage?
I would say that it is not a carborundum print. Note the lack of anything in the background. I would say that it is a traditional Intaglio print. The major area of discoloration on the verso side appears to be the where the blue ink was applied to the print. I remember in the 80's Leroy Neiman had s...

Re: PRICING SOFTWARE ESTLITE
If you are only doing single window mounts, no shadowbox displays, special mounting techniques, or custom frame finishing, etc. It really doesn't matter what you use.

Re: Suggested framing options.....
As John stated, this is a job for an art conservator.
"Just Because" {it is too much to spend, in their mind} is not an excuse for not having to pay for appropriate services rendered.

Re: Oak supplier advice
You might have to go up a notch in the food chain of you suppliers to determine what they are actually are selling, any old oak, white oak or red oak if they actually know what they are selling. The latter might be the actual answer(they don't know what they are selling). https://www.cabinetdoors.co...

Re: Oak supplier advice
Nolan, I notice that you are not clarifying the type of oak that you are ordering. Are you ordering your moulding by asking for "oak" or "white oak"? There are 2 major variants: white oak and red oak. They are different species. If you have not have had a chat with your supplier,...

Re: Very VERY VERY!!!! large poster.
Having worked on items larger than that in the past, it is a matter of taking baby bites with how you think. It is definitely a several person crew job. One is handling and the moving of it in your shop, transport and installation. Measure all areas more that once and run all steps through your mind...

Re: Contemporary hand finishing.
Justin, I can really appreciate the woodworking skills of this framer as I have been woodworking since my teenage years. I hand my own single head moulding milling machine and shaper before being a framer. I just never had the nearby clientele that would appreciate that price level. I took over a bu...

Re: Looking for a company to make quantities of frames
Watching.
If that £3.00 rate has been the same price for several years, my second comment is even more a possibility, there is no profit at that price.
Please let all of us know what the outcome of your search is for a UK based supplier.

Re: Looking for a company to make quantities of frames
"... quality is good but the company I'm using is diversifying into other things" Is that a secret code that they cannot make a profit on this project? It might be. Your economic inflation in the UK is not stagnant. Is this company also gluing the frames together, or just what you personal...

Re: Looking for a company to make quantities of frames
That type of price will probably be only imported from the Far East. The factory will have to have automated equipment that can make a finished frame with glazing and hardware. This is the type of company that would make frames for Ikea as an example. Note that using polystyrene foam moulding might ...

Re: How to increase rebate depth
We do not know who you are purchasing your frame moulding from. There are thousands of frame moulding profiles and finishes. There are deep mouldings up to approximately 100mm that are bread and butter designs. It is up to you to talk with your supplier to see what else is available that will fit yo...

Re: Any way to ship a frame with glass?
I ship glass and highly recommend looking at the published guides by the such as FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. for their design standards.
As a personnel note I am in favor of using 50mm rigid polystyrene expanded foam panels on all 6 sides of the package. AKA home insulation sheets for walls.
