Hi All I just wanted to give Moglet the 'big up' treatment and I thought it would be nice to say it in the Irish. I cannot speak the language, so I had a friend in Donegal translate the sentence below for me. Moglet was too embarrassed to translate it back into English - so here is what I said: - We...

Moggy I hope you do not mind, I had a very nice man in Donegal do the deed of translation for me. He works hard both to study and promote the Gaelic. As much as I would love to talk and understand the Irish, it will be only holidays over there for me and the family. Oh and to slurp the black stuff. ...

Thank you Gesso

I will surely need all the help I can get.

Or Tá grá againn uilig don tuiscint mhórchríoch ón bhean uasal mhistéireach seo as Éirinn. Is leor do chuid fhlaithiúlachta, do nádúrthacht is do chuidiú le misneach a thabhairt do dhuine ar bith a chuid uaillmhianta a chomhlíonadh agus a chuid spriocanna a bhaint amach. I hope this translate as it ...

I have never done forums before and never known just what to expect. There are a great many or you who are truely nice people and definitely get my vote. One in particular who has struck out to me as genuine tryer and a helpful soul, with help and support for all is -Moggy. :sun: Tá meas againn uili...

What an exhausting but passionate debate. There are no rights and no wrongs to this thread as you all have your own game plan, a plan which on occasions needs tweaking to keep you where you have been and where you are today. The many contributers to this thread all seem successful and long standing ...

Thanks Kev Frames. That's a proper framing outfit you've got there! :surprised: Are you the large chap with the goatee beard? Yes Sir I will pay whatever you want to have my artwork framed and is there anything else I can buy whilst I'm here? :worried: I am not certain a motorbike tyre mark would lo...

I hope no one minds me saying, what an ugly frame... That should give us hope!

Just my opinion of course.

Happy Birthday Mr Roboframer

Let's have a party.....

Hi All Like a few newbies, I am trying to learn from the mistakes of others and try to take onboard all your experiences for every aspect of the framing process. On this thread there is talk about bench construction, workshop layout and materials used. My question is, do most of you based on room av...

Me too!!

Hi Adrian It sounds like we are peas in a pod. - Both coming from reasonably paid professional jobs, but with the desire to do something creative for ourselves. (I bet most of the old timers on this forum think we need therapy). I am in the throws of converting my garage to be the main base for the ...

Hi Dermot Someone on ebay has most if not all the items you require for sale and the best of it, they are all in Ireland. The money at the moment looks good, I want the Fletcher wall mounted cutter but I do not know if they would split it. Get back to me if you struggle to find it. ebay UK under - C...

Location is crucial, but how many times have you driven down a street been absolutely intrigued by the window display or the fact this business is even there, but then get caught up in traffic etc and the moment has gone. Yes, you promise yourself a revisit but in these 100 mph times, do you ever? I...

Hi Steve

Sorry to be a pain, but where can I get the dates and ventue of the Hot Press courses? Is it a case of just visiting their site?

Mike Deepjoy

Hi Steve

Thank you and all the framers for the help and support on this topic. I think at some point it will be worth booking myself on the course as recommended. It was the free lunch that swung it.

Very Best Regards

Hi All On the general forum under 'PRESSES" it has just been posted that a HGP220 is for sale on ebay, virtually brand new. This is, I assume a small press to the 2 on offer as advised by Steve Goodall on the post above this one. With such good discounts available on new product, what affect wi...

Hi All Being a press virgin, a quick question for you all. Which is the preferred and best laminator to use between an Ademco 'crank that wheel' type or a Jet mount roller driven laminator (JM44 as an example)? I am hoping you do not say, "It's horses for courses"........ It is just a case...
