The Framers Forum

Good for you

Congratulations - now the fun starts!

Go for it! You absolutely won't regret it. Especially as it is back in a hotel on the Strip. If you book a room with their special deal then you save on the resort fee, which can add a lot to the cost of your stay. Book as many classes as you can across a range of subjects and as many social events ...

I'm glad the Grumble thread I signposted for you via the Guild's forum was useful Justin - and useful to have linked it here too. I'm of the same mind as John (JKX) on this one regarding using Klucel G. Despite the thorough testing that is discussed on that thread, it also helps highlight some of th...

Very true!

This is the black version. It’s not to everyone’s taste, but I think it’s different and subtle enough to look pretty good. IMO of course

Flagship Framing did a moulding with tiny skulls all over it in four colours. Unfortunately they've gone out of business now, but it was one we used in 3 of the colours at various times.

We've still got 2 lengths of the silver version if that is any good to you. Moulding is 52mm wide.

We use Mainline and are very happy with their service. They use a genuine Morso machine for sharpening.

Blades are collected and delivered back to you.

Although you've been posting on here already recently under the Guild's login as their Social Media person, it is nice to have you back posting on the Forum under your own name again Grahame/Mohawk_Scotland.

Hi Nicola

The edit function disappears fairly quickly, but Moderators can still edit posts for you.

I've done that now to show that the Morso has sold.

From memory we had to show we took orders and then customers returned to collect manufactured goods at a later date for the vast majority of what we did. A few pick up items were fine as long as the percentage of that kind of thing as part of our overall sales was low. Can’t see you having a problem...

And between £12,001 and £15,000 rateable value you can apply for Small Business Rate Relief to reduce any cost.

Some council owned light industrial units have restrictions on allowing customers to visit the premises - ones near us can only work via internet sales for their garden furniture that they make. But that is an unusual restriction, although it is worth checking. This one was put in place to avoid dam...

Giving this a bump as it has been mentioned in another topic. Dermot has been generous enough to share much of his knowledge on the Forum and his posts are well worth a search and a read. This course is a great stepping stone for those wanting to get into gilding.

As suggested, the topic has been moved. I've also "bounced" Vintage's post about his online course in Announcements so that it is easy to find if anyone is looking.

Justin, glad you managed to keep all your fingers!

"Do not engage" as advised by Justin seems very sensible advice. It might also be worth contacting the CMC manufacturers as well if you haven't already done so - there are so many templates and formats on their systems and they would have evidence of dates and so on for when those were cre...

And yes Jo/Alec, this is on the list when I see you later this month...!! Absolutely, we will have a look at your machine set up and how this is working for you. You will get arguments either way from people who swear that their version is the right way to do it! Personally we glue and pin, adding ...

Hi Philip The seller may be OK to post their email on the Forum. However, they may prefer not to do that at this point. If that is the case then you can contact the seller via private message, which is emailed to them, through the Forum. Underneath their details on the right hand side of their post,...

Sorry to hear that your health is causing you to close down. Best of luck with moving everything on. I'm sure there will be plenty of interest. Just for info: As Moderator I have deleted the other 3 copies of this post that appeared on other parts of the Forum. Keeping one post in the Adverts/Sales/...

Sorry to see you go as you've been an invaluable member of the Forum for many years. I hope you have a relaxing, enjoyable and very long retirement - you've certainly earned it!

All the very best to you.

Jo
