Excellent work Tim, I'm sure I see you working on this one when I came over? Came out looking wonderful

This is happening a lot lately, the other day open a brand new pack of moulding (NOT Lion) , cut a whole frame from one length of moulding , came to join it, it was all different heights at each corners , some as much 1.5mm difference, couldn't find two bits that were the same hight, so was faced w...

It can be done with slip and/or spliced mount.

I would do slip on top of spliced mount

Yep, P90 is perfect

I go much bigger as long as the frame is build to hold it, subframe and all that too.

Last week I did 1197x1016mm with 2mm Truvue Ultravue and another 1445x1166mm with 2.5mm Truvue museum.

I also get a lot of damage with Tuffnells, no idea what they must do with the packages. I've spoken with suppliers and they won't offer any other option for delivery. I have given up reporting and claiming too, it's too time-consuming for just a few pounds. I try to order box sizes on moulding now w...

Ordered a Fletcher 3100

Blue corner protectors are well worth the money, combined with handy wrap.

Sounds like the Fletcher 3100 is the one to have, thank you.

I read about mounting it to 18mm ply and then screwing that ply to the wall, I think that's what I will be doing. I do have some helping hands.

Good tip on the glass storage, sound ideal. thank you again

Thank you Mark

I'm looking to upgrade from the hand cutter to the wall cutter, can anybody offer advice on the Fletcher-Terry 3100 vs Keencut Excalibur 5000?

I was almost sold on the 3100 but a sales rep said the Excalibur 5000 with the two separate heads is a great bit of kit.

Wow, that must be some collection you have. (worthy of some nice equipment :giggle: ) Me, sadly none of Blek, D*face, Banksy, DotDotDot, Sickboy but have framed nearly something from all. My own collection mostly Obey, Pahnl, London police, mau mau, kguy, Whatson and lot of Snik. If you don't go dow...

Hi Rob, There's so much great and helpfully info in this forum. Start going back to each page and you will learn so much. Morso Guillotine is a must, no getting away from that. One thing for sure you're going to quickly find out why framing is the price it is. Good luck and enjoy :D . What do you ha...

That sounds like a good idea, thank you.

Thank you Richard, white is the last colour wanted but the Crescent size is perfect just shame about the lack of colours. Even more fun, its a double mount :giggle: Prospero I was thinking about doing that, the only problem is sometimes on painted stuff when it's touching the coated glasses I get fu...

Yes, I've had a good look about but can't find anything.

Hi, I have some very large prints to frame (print size1096x1375mm + border) and I'm looking for Jumbo Conservation Mountboards but ideal with a grey face paper, can anybody recommend anything, please?

You want white white it's all about Daler Ice White (8091)

Bubble wrap, plenty of corner protection (blue foam corners and handy wrap the best), corrugated cardboard around the edges, at least 2 bits of mountboard or cardboard on the front, in a double walled box and packed out with more corrugated card.

I send via UPS and 99% problem free and next day.
