When i bought my UG earlier this year it came with 6 stick on feet and although the manual shows sticking just 4 feet on when you think about it it's a long machine and will sag in the middle. i have therefore added the two extra feet at the halfway point.

Hi Kirsty,

In my early days i used the Logan Studio Joiner to great effect and at under £100 not bad for an underpinner. I believe it still comes with a bag of assorted size V nails.

Hi Tim,

probably not a lot of help as a long way away but i recently had a piece cut to size at 2200mm x 600mm x 3mm from Alluminium and Wood Frame Supplies in London E18 1BY although not cheap at £140.

Alternatively Glass & Mirror (North) in Oldham 0845 456 9972.

Hi Digby,

Have you completed this?

I've just framed a horizontal scroll which ended up about 2200mm long.

Hi,

Probably too late but just got back from holiday and saw your posting. I've just framed a chines scroll which was 2100mm x 600mm and used the z bars from Lion's which worked really well.

Thanks, will try them if nothing more local (London or South East) turns up.

Hi,

Having been let down i now need to find a supplier who can provide acrylic glazing 2144mm x 464mm cut to size - all help greatfully received.

Hi,

I was thinking of old paintings but appreciate the idea of using blank canvas. what did you mean by "stretch a load slightly above standard sizes"?

All ideas/suggestions very much appreciated.

Graham

Hi,

Does anyone know of a cheap source of old canvases so i can practice stretching them. Bit of a newby and all my work has been pictures and posters and want to become proficient enough to pass the Commended Framers exam.
