'Free' De-Luxe Christmas wrapping (make up a REALLY decent and expensive looking framed picture) for all orders placed for delivery BEFORE December 18th.....?

Hi

Does anyone here have an oversized CMC? ie one capable of cutting 981 x 1328 mounts? I need several of these for a rush order, and I can only do up to 1220mm !

If you can, then please PM me, or drop a note here and I'll call you

Need 11 of the above in Arqadia 8698 Glacier

Cheers

Tim

I think I might go into business supplying this stuff. Thanks all for your help - have now sourced some 3mm acrylic cut to size at a decent price!

Cheers

Hi

I'm in urgent need of some large (A0+) size 2mm thick acrylic glazing. Can anyone here do this, or recommend a company who may be able to help? As stated. it's urgent (aren't they all?)

Need 11 sheets 981 x 1328 and 4 sheets 981 x 981

Thanks in advance

I fail to see how you can possibly get any work done with a workshop in such complete and utter disarray

If mine was ever that tidy I'd assume someone had taken over........

Warm is Expensive . End of. :? Lot of reports of firewood poaching in the forestry hereabouts. When have you ever heard of that before? :roll: Sorry for the quote, but I've been busy framing this week, and only just (Friday night) got to play catchup. A few years ago, when I was responsible for try...

Help! I've left my price list at the workshop, and need to know the retail price of Arqadia's Snow White Jumbo 1400 Micron Whitecore mountboard - SSS089001

Ta!

Market and Deeping?

I've just checked the PPL website, and it's nigh on impossible to find out in advance (without actually APPLYING for a licence) how much it's going to cost. I'll wait until they come knocking. Then I'll start a fight........quietly.... People who are so deliberate about avoiding publication of their...

Short answer - No there isn't Long(er) answer - dependant on the functionality you want from the keyboard, they tend to fall into various standard shapes, if not sizes. You can also buy something like this which has a touchpad mouse built in (I find them easier to use than a trackball - less dust pr...

Steve at Glasscraft in Hull might have some....

I'll ask the missus - she has eighteen letters after her name on her business cards, but none are titles, just qualifications and professional body stuff.... MA, BSc, CDir, FIoD, FCIMA

What do people use in order to de-ionise large (A0) sheets of acrylic? I need to send some frames to Australia, but cleaning the large sheets is almost impossible without finding a way to remove the static charge from the acrylic once the protective film has been taken off. Has anyone tried an earth...

Probably a non starter, but does anyone know where I can get my hands on barewood swept frames that I can then finish myself?

Does anyone know of a source of this (or very similar) paper (13" x 40", 365 gsm) in the UK?

Thanks

I've sent you a private message...

heh - is it the milk or the flour that you think spend longer than 60 days on Tescos shelves

But interestingly, that's exactly what Tesco, and every other supermarket does. They don't pay for anything until they've already sold it!

I've done this in the past, but I took payment in artwork (and photographs). I found out how much the artists work went for in exhibitions, say £300. I reduced that by the price I'd CHARGE for a frame (say £100), leaving a retail of £200 for the artwork. Divide that in two, since I'm offering to 'bu...

I'm looking right now at a very similar frame, which was just finished with liming wax. Looks great, and always attracts positive comments when customers come into the office.
