The Framers Forum

Yes, I've often wondered that as well Alan. Our shop has large windows that were misting up with condensation, which is what prompted us to buy ours. There is a large gap under the front door but the dehumidifier clears the windows very quickly. Normally though we have it in the central room, the wo...

Glad to have been of help and of course this is why the forum was created so that we could help each other. The water still appears to be crystal clear in mine but I'm not sure I'd want to drink it Good luck with the framing.

We bought this Meaco following a recommendation and have never looked back http://www.amazon.co.uk/Meaco-DD122FW-MK4-Dehumidifier/dp/B001FCMHU8. It is quiet, efficient and takes up very little room. It is big enough for our shop and workshop which is very damp because it has no dpc so it should easi...

Hi Andy, welcome aboard

Hi Anne,

It is difficult to tell without some idea of scale ie what width is it?

Have a look at the Simons catalogue on page 106, S/0941 might be similar, depending on the size.

Hi, welcome to the forum. We're a reasonably friendly bunch and don't bite ...... often.

We also used to mark the direction of cut with pencil arrows to ensure the bevel faced the right way and so you knew where you where if you got interrupted in the middle of cutting.

We've been asked to try and match or find a similar moulding to the one in the photo. It looks like a ready made frame to me and I have looked in a number of suppliers catalogues but not found anything like it. It is a stained barewood and I would call it a matt antique pine finish. The moulding is ...

Immersing yourself Tim?

You could ask Merlin about the possibility of making boxes for you or get someone closes to you who has a CMC to do it. Merlin is in Delhi until next week but you could pm him in the meantime to see if he has any suggestions.

We have a customer who has had framing completed in a moulding similar to Simons TORO/0006 (page 79 of current catalogue). I think A&T did something along the same lines (416.01). They are looking something narrower and not as deep so that it tones in with what they already have. It is only to f...

That's an interesting way of doing it for sports medals John and one I might pinch for myself. How are the medals themselves fixed?

Nope, not sure, is it a star fish?

That's very good John, especially for school children. I particularly like the reverse move at about 2:10.

Btw, I think it's called Drill, not ornamental walking

If you haven't already found them then Estlite is certainly worth looking at for value for money and great customer service. You can also combine it with PreView visualisation software, both help make pricing simple and affordable. We have been using it for the last six years at least and are very h...

What a coincidence I was just looking for the very same moulding myself on the Lion website. I have managed to get myself two lengths from my local supplier who may have some more. If you can't find it with a supplier closer to you then give Graham or John a call at Abbey Glass & Framing Supplie...

It's hard to say, hard to read too. Do you have a photo that might make it a little easier to understand please?

I totally agree with both the of the above comments, which are of course extremely valid. Vorsprung durch Technik or auf Englische "progress through technology" applies to both. They are good tutorials as well and I look forward to any more that might be forthcoming from the very valuable ...

Ours was bought new and came covered in a greasy gloop. It hasn't run out yet
