Re: Cutting and joining hexagonal and octagonal frames.
If you made them a bit wider you could probably get a bessy clamp around them. Pinning is going to be fun but you may be able to use a biscuit joiner. You should be able to use standard moulding.

Re: I'm looking for ideas for selling a large quantity of frame rims?
Somebody will list them on eBay for you I should think, and split the difference. You just have to provide photos and a description, and post them.

Re: Is it worth setting up or buying from a supplier
Speak to a professional supplier, they don’t generally sell via Etsy or EBay.

Re: Is it worth setting up or buying from a supplier
Wessex do a rim only service and most supplies do a chop service where they cut the moulding to length. Larson Juhl do a routing service when they cut and rout the corners, all you have to do is use the provided wedges to join them. They may be your best bet for that style of moulding.

Re: Any thoughts about making frames with lap jointed corners.
Ben Nicholson framed some of his work with lap jointed frames. I’ve considered making replicas as there are a number artists working in his style where a replica frame may be of interest.

Re: MDF Frame
I have a CNC and wouldn’t touch mdf frames for engraving. The quality of the MDF inside is dire. Better off using hardwood or pine. If you use an adhesive coating before carving then the results would be ok. Lasers are an option also. I have t explored the possibilities with picture frames but I use...

Re: Oval Spandrel Frames
I make them on my CNC out of 6mm birch plywood and get a nice chamfered edge. MDF would be ok but needs a bit more work on the chamfered edges when finishing.

Re: How the hell do I do this?
Polcore needs superglue, wood needs wood glue. You should always use glue.
As suggested a day or so of training would stand you in good stead. Better to do it right form the start, reputation is everything.
