The Framers Forum

I saw a 3D printed bracket custom printed for a coin somewhere, anyway I will be buying a 3d printer soon for this kind of thing, not sure if I will ever get back what I spend, but this is just too cool to pass on.

Your strips could have been much thinner, we have used them at just 2 mm wide, they are incredibly strong, of course it does depend on the integrity of the item you are framing.

Dumped Firefox about a year ago for chrome, it feels slicker.

Isn't the traditional method for mounting shoe soles not chewing gum?

I suspect the pieces of moulding used to make the Chevron are from two separate batches one left one right that would give you the problems you see on the picture.

Have you read the manual?

Took me time but here are the pics of how to do it reight like.

So that means all my drunken rants have also been read!
The shame!

happy to give you a quote, PM me details of what you need.

You misunderstood how I meant it to be used, not the same as other suggestions, a picture will work, that's the umbra range, I use lots of it, pinned right it's fine.

Easy!

Trim the lip off a small piece, cut it backwards and make an anti Chevron this can the be used upside down behind the moulding effectively creating a flat back, I can post a picture next time I go in the workshop

Which is why it is underpinned or splined or biscuited - as these give additional surface area for the glue to attach. A sliding dovetail, on the other hand, is a...

See all those doubters were wrong, Pythagoras Theorem is useful.

Normally with this type of mechanism you loosen a gear and slide it, often there will be a gear just for tentioning, which does not seem to be on that machine, so I would assume the motor it's self will slide, give me a photo of that part and I will give you an idea which.

One of the artists I work for had her best year yet at the spring fair.

Hope you don't mind me using your photo Keith.

I successfully mounted some velum title deeds using Roboframers method in this thread, they are fairly see through and there was no indication of where I had mounted them when viewing the finished Item, I am glad I used that method actually because I had forgotten to copy what was on the back for th...

http://www.inkjetservice.co.uk/ These guys are pretty much the best in the business, that said it's gonna cost about £500 with call out, when you say clean the heads what's the problem you are having, often the problem isn't heads but blocked dampers, or if you have a block of missing lines it could...
