Carrier Bags
Hi Markw, Just to keep you up to date, I got an answer from the Guild on Thursday afternoon, they are discussing the possibility and feasability. I will be over at a FC meeting on the 15th Sept, so I will hear first hand how they are getting on, if I dont hear before hand. I'll let you know how disc...

Carrier Bags
Hi Markw, I have sent an email to the Guild, to see if these carrier bags are available for membership use. For me I cannot see why they wouldnt be, but..........I agree they are missing out here, but we will see what flies up the flag pole? Talk soon, Steven PS You havent (by any chance) got a spar...

Carrier Bags
Hi Markw, Carrier bags are a great idea, and you seem to have it sussed with your supplier, which I will give a ring. Most of the people we have contacted in the past wnated a minimum order of 10000 or more, some even had a minimu order of 25000, and they wanted this in each size not, over a few dif...

Hi, The way we frame certificates here is as follows: 1. If the certificate is only issued once, such as a degree cert, etc, we get the client to get it copied (professionally) and frame the copy 2. If the client prefers not to do it that way, we always use conservation methods and hinge the cert to...

Perfect Mitres
Hi, One of my ex-framing school students owns an Omga saw, (I think its the only one in Northern Ireland, but dont quote me), he happened to come across it 'by mistake' (he was actually buying a Cassese underpinner at the time and this came up in the same conversation) when he was setting up the mac...

Keencut
Hi Darren, A good robust machine you have bought, just make sure its clean, well lubricated, and it will give you excellent bevels and mounts. Mounts are cut face down, so that the bevels are in the correct plain. If you ring Keencut and ask for Andy or Alex, they may have a manual, their number is ...

Multi Aperture Mounts
Hi, I have checked my pricing programme, and like Norah, I found out I was a wee tad wrong in my estimate in my original posting, it transpires that I am charging £1 extra per aperture, per mount. For me this seems to give the mount a suitable price, and is not over the top in any way. Not sure how ...

Multi Apertures
Hi Jerome, Well, one is charging between £8 and £14, some charge a less, some I expect would charge more f they could get away with it. But I personally feel this is doing s dis-service to our industry. I know all businesses have differing rent, rates, etc. depending on which towns they are located,...

Truvue
Hi Mark, I got a transit and a cradle for the glass, so thankfully it will be carried upright. I think the amount of framers asking to have this, is enough as it stands...I am thinking of my poor auld van. I have used it before, but the cost of getting it here was colossal and I wont be using that s...

Multi-Aperture Mounts
Hi Folks, I had a customer in with me one day last week, asking for a quotation for some multi-aperture mounts to be cut. These were 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 aperture mounts, using a range of sized images. After I had given him the prices, he asked me how much 'extra' I charged per aperture as one quotati...

Off Cuts
Hi, FN Love the idea of a vertical scale for the offcuts. We keep ours separately but not in numerical order, just havent the space, we do keep them in colour like you, whites / ivorys, etc. the rest we try and keep it up to date, but when push comes to shove and its busy, they are just set in any w...

Hi Mark I know I belong, like you do to the Fine Art Trade Guild, but unfortunately the Guild dont, wont, cannot negotiate member discounts, where 'apparently' this group has. I am unsure of the total membership numbers of IFFA, but as far as I am aware (and I am trying to find out) their idea is wo...

Truvue Conservation Clear
Hi Folks, At long last, Truvue glass is available in Northern Ireland / Ireland, albeit a wee tad awkward to get at, at present, as its 'collection only' But dont fear, anyone that wants to purchase this: just to let those framers in Northern Ireland know. I am going to Dublin within the next few we...

Hi Folks, 'As far as I am aware', (i.e. this is what I was told) this group started off as a buying group of framers, sort of like a co-operative, who got together and barracked suppliers for discounts, etc. Now, before I am piloried (like that word, eh), or called a liar, this is what I was told, a...

Pricing
Hi folks, I use another computer pricing programme, and I agree with FN that there is an acceptance at the price it throws up. Customers think that computers dont lie. If I was you Markw, I would take along (if possible) my computer and show the programmke working. May also help John with some sales...

Hi, Many thanks for that Dermot. The Guild's research is for tapes used in the picture framing industry. To be honest I am not sure who or whom they have been in direct contact with, I am not directly invloved in the research, and it had long started before I joined the committee. Other committee me...
