The Framers Forum

To be fair, the customer who brought this frame in, bought it very recently online - they now want something bespoke in a matching frame. It looks so clean and tidy.

Evening all - anyone have any idea on what moulding this is and where it's from? The rebate is 30mm.

We want to use it for some army medals... It's not Arqadia, Simons, Mainline or Lion....

Cheers all who get back!

Hey David - how are you? The teeth and arm are both less than 12 months old, and as such are pretty immaculate. I think I've found the problem with regards to the 'spongy' feeling on the last and second to last cuts... It seems we have been treated to our blades being flat ground opposed to hollow. ...

Cheers Gents, cutting upside down on this is certainly a better way of doing it (fuming that I hadn't realised that before having to be told!). Seems to have taken the sponginess away too... Only thing left to ask, when cutting it upside down, I'm still being left with a minor gap on the inside of t...

Any methods on attaching the poppy head into the frame, without the use of the supplied metal rod (stem).

Afternoon all, Ok, we're having some issues with our Morso. It has a pair of newly sharpened (genuine) blades on, which are both sat on the machine flush, and pass through the fence enough to give a clean cut on the back edge. We're cutting an oak moulding, which we use regularly and have no problem...

Hey, this is one we did not too long back. Used a perspex dome and deep rebated moulding (a Simons moulding from the PHOE range [if I remember rightly])

Robo... I don't follow? I saw some older posts... Lots of good feedback?

We use the same method for Papyrus...

Hi,

I will be in touch by the end of the week.

Thanks!

I like the look of that Robo.

Here's an image of one that I did - in memorial of my best mate... Forgive the lighting.

Evening all!

Just thought i'd share this.

Been having a play with the Melinex and a set of old keys. Turned out pretty nice if you ask me!

We've upgraded to a larger compressor, so we are flogging our (1yr) old one.

According to google, these retail at £300+

It's a Sealey 9ltr silent compressor.

It's super quiet, and is absolutely fine for operating an underpinner.

Price £180

Some very good points raised in both of those responses. In a nutshell, I left the army a yr and a half ago, and have had the business set up for just over a year. We've spent plenty of money so far on paper ads (local rag / A5 shopping brochures), leaflet drops, Yell.com (what a crock that is btw!)...

Hi! We currently run our business from an industrial unit, which is separated into a workshop and gallery area. We are toying with moving to a shop on a high street, but the unit we are looking at isn't big enough to accommodate a workshop. There is a workshop nearby which is suitable, and at a good...

We've uses that moulding recently and didn't have any problems with it. I can see the thinner version being a drama though!

They were sharpened by Framers Equipment. They were hollow ground.

The solution to pinning it ended up being to turn down the pressure on the Alfa.

All ended up fine, but such a lot of arsing around for such a small job.

Managed it with the backing board behind the moulding trick - but then the bloody underpinner just started denting the hell out of it.

We've cracked it now, but safe to say, this particular range has now been taken off of our display!

Thanks guys!

Hi all. We're having a slight issue with our Morso. We are trying to cut a piece of very soft moulding (Simons: CARI/13), but it seems as though the blade is dragging the wood out on the final cut down the back edge. It seems to be cutting everything else pretty spot on. We had a length swapped over...
