Re: weighted frame (not mount)

The angles you are looking for;
26.6 DEGREES
63.4 DEGREES

Wouldn't want to tackle this with a Morso though.

Re: Migrate Estlite Failure

A couple of things to try.

Turn off any third party anti-virus Kaperski, McAfee, etc.

Install a printer driver.

If EstLite runs, then follow the data restore steps above.

No need to uninstall, Jay. In your new laptop: insert your backup memory stick into an available USB port, and run EstLite. Click Options>Data>Restore Locate, and double-click on the backup zip file on your memory stick. On completion EstLite will shut down, and the next time it is run it should be ...

Re: Any Virgin Broadband users out there?

It might be worth talking to Virgin. The current Virgin advertised price is £42 per month for the basic phone/broadband package, there is an introductory offer of £27 per month for the first year, which probably isn't an option. But you may be able to negotiate a better deal somewhere between the tw...

For many years our ectremely noisy compressor sat on a sturdy shelf above our toilet. The WC was far enough away from the work and sales areas so that the sound was minimal when the door was closed. The on/off stitch was by the entrance so that the infernal machine could be disabled, leaving undistu...

Re: D.I.T.H.

Hi Jerome, Yep, screw thread is 10mm, and wire was pushed to the bottom of the pilot hole before the screw was inserted. In addition, I calculate that, in my test, the strain on the wire at each screw is 29.4 pounds force. A tad above the manufacturers stated breaking strain. However, my estimate of...

Brilliant! Good to see someone thinking outside the box. Here’s me beleiving that I knew it all, but I’ve never heard of this before. I’m embarrassed to say that, even though on a good day I consider myself of average intelligence, in over 30 years of framing I never thought of this. Don’t get me w...
