Corrugated backing board - advice please
Hello, The corrugated backing board which I have has a waterproof membrane on one side which I believe should be on the inside of the frame sandwich. The board bows with the membrane on the inside - that is, so that the side which is on the outside is convex. Does this sound right and a good thing? ...

Work tables - what surface do you use?
Hello,
I am in the process of setting up a small workshop and was wondering what worktop surfaces are out there - so ... what do all of you use for your work table tops?

Hi Mick, Two reasons. First of all I don't THINK that it was what I was looking for but the seller didn't really know much about it and hence I could not be sure that it had all of the bits and pieces it should have. Secondly, it looked rather neglected and to be honest somewhat mucky. Of course, it...

MORSO Underpinner - Any advice?
Hello, Can anyone pass comment on the MORSO UP-M underpinning machine in terms of quality of joints, ease of use and so on? I am adding to my small workshop and considering this small machine as a possibility. I am looking for a good quality of finish as far as frames are concerned and good quality ...

Hello - Thought I would pitch in at this point as a user of the ArtFramer software - same as Mick. My view is that the software works very well indeed. The only issue which I have is getting hold of moulding and mountboard images so that I can produce a fair representation of the stock which I use. ...

This is starting to become - nay IS - a Hint and Tip thread! As a beginner in this game with only 12 months part time experience, bits of fluff and dust behind the glass are my biggest problem. They never seem the be never there though until I have pinned in the backing board - I always seem to have...

Ragged cuts with my MORSO - (newbie) HELP!
Hello Can anyone suggest what adjustments I need to make on my MORSO in order to get a clean cut all of the way through a moulding, eliminating the ragged edges as shown on the photographs below? Some background .... I purchased my MORSO second hand along with a set of spare blades - which I immedia...

Thank you Steven - I found more instructions on the Fletcher-Terry website (eventually). It certainly takes some practice but I am getting there. The part of the exercise which requires skill and dexterity is cutting the reverse bevel on the front side of the mount. According to the tutorial on the ...

Cutting v-grooves
I have a Fletcher 2100 and believe that there is a "universal tool" which can be added in order to cut v-grooves - anyone ever seen such a thing as I have not come across it. If not, has anyone any experience of cutting v-grooves with this machine as I have failed miserably in all attempts...

Underpinner for a small workshop - any advice?
Hello, I am a "new boy" in the framing business to the extent that at the moment, this is a part time occupation - I am using a top of the range yet still a "hobby type" V-nailer but not totally happy with it. I have a MORSO - choosing which guillotine was quite an easy task - bu...

Thanks chaps. I have found the manual on the Fletcher-Terry site after some diligent searching - it was buried deep! Having spent a couple of hours looking and playing with the machine and looking at the manual, I have found that a number of small pieces have gone walkabouts - the locating pins and ...

Fletcher 2100 Mount Cutter
I have literally just purchased a "previously enjoyed" mount cutter - the Fletcher 2100 (large size!). It looks in reasonable condition and seems to have all of the bits attached which it should have. My next job will be to clean it up so that is shines and then to get to grips with the sc...
