Re: Do you all use some kind of software?
I agree with JonathanB. Your methodology gives me serious red flags. I have followed the adage "charge as much as the market can bear" since my beginnings and even that has been no guarantee of making a living as there are so many other factors involved. But at any one time, knowing that y...

I would have a look at Rose & Hollis A333 extendable box frame moulding.

Re: Squaring a canvas
Sounds like you figured out the answer. Having suffered the same pain once, it's now the first thing I check with a square rule every time a canvas comes in. I have had to use slips in the past when there is no way to remedy the canvas.

Re: What extra ‘must have’ equipment would you recommend?
Ah that's a shame but it sounds like a double edged sword. It did sound a bit like Christmas! Most of the fun is buying the tools as and when you need them. It probably explains why many of us don't actually make any money for the first few years, as we've spent it all on building up our tools and m...

Re: Do you all use some kind of software?
I have tried a couple and settled on Framiac by FrameR a few years ago. I couldn't be without it! There's no way that I could do the same calculations on quantities and wastage and mark-up that it does in a millisecond. It provides a jobsheet and invoice and innumerable other benefits for the reason...

Re: Filling of Corner Join
I was recommended Polyfilla Fine Surface "extra fine filler" for any gaps. Easy to use and clean-up and it'll take any colour/finish on top after. It sounds like a moulding suited to a Hoffmann join. If you're buying chop from LJ already, maybe try their routing service for the tricky ones...

Have a look at "Rub 'n Buff" small tubes of wax. They come in all shades and will cover the filler easily. It goes a long way!

Re: Welsh businesses - new recycling laws
It's the same here down south, bubblewrap scraps have always gone in the general waste bag. In fact I don't understand what the deal is with this law coming in. My understanding was that if I didn't have waste contracts in place over the last few years, I was liable for exactly the same fine! My cou...

Re: Morso Chopper Issues
Assuming that you're gluing your joins, get a Stanley band clamp and clamp tight after joining and leave overnight. See if that improves it. Stacking can be unpredictable. I'm guessing a single 15 would do. I'd go even closer to the inside and two wedges should be sufficient. Some might agree the mi...

Re: Morso Chopper Issues
As Steve says, that outside wedge is far too close to the outside and is pushing the mitre open. Your outside wedge should be just past halfway no further and the inside wedge should be as close as you can to the inside.

Re: Waiting for Hoffmann
One note about the various sized keys. I know only buy 18 40 and 60mm W1 keys and 40mm W0 keys. The keys can be cut down to fit after insertion, which saves having to but every single size available.

Fillet Master Instructions Anyone?
Well the filletmaster.com website does not seem to exist anymore... I have checked Youtube and am now an expert in filleting salmon, mackerel and halibut, but just wondering if anyone can post a copy of the diagram supplied with the Frame Master, just to double check what I'm doing. Anyone? Pretty p...
