The Framers Forum

thanks for the ideas, I have the potential of providing a large number of these frames for crafters if i can find an easy, cost effective way of doing it. all in standard sizes. The biggest challenge is the fact that they are to be provided as ready made frames for them to fit their own work if not ...

has any one got any ideas on how to fix glass in a ready made frame when there is glass on both sides and no mount ( customer to fit artwork). The usual flexi points would show and I am having a brain block on how to do it.
thanks

Thanks for all the advice, I will be backing up my info today.
There is a lot to learn, the challenge is keeping up with the machine but I am very impressed so far.

You make me blush, nico or franco!

I think Thomas and the fat controller has topped us all as a fab weekend.

Playing with my Valliani!

how funny, the fact that I call my "big day" the arrival of a valiani may be one of the reasons that even though we have been together 22 years we havet got round to getting married. :giggle: Thanks for the comment about the van, my partner mark fitted it out and i'm very pleased with it. ...

can i just say, I am a little excited today ( understatement of the year) as my valiani is being installed!
any top tips for the first few days?

Very tasteful. looking forward to see what your going to do with the wedding bouquet and cake!

thanks John I have now realised what I have been doing wrong all this time, I have been opening the quote and then pressing print ( button near the show on screen button) which allocates a totally different number to it but doesn't show on reports. Now found that you need to press re use and then pr...

Morning,
once it turns into a job is there a way of getting it to show on the reports? or can you print a report of the quoted jobs?

fantastic, I will get my partner on to it and we may well have to pick your brains again as we are struggling to make them compatible with each other. :head: I don't know enough to be able to have a sensible discussion with you about the problems so I will pass the book to him and we will be back in...

Hi

Is anyone using the new microsoft office 365 (that everybody seems to be changing over to ) with estlite on the same machine?

I framed a bike, it would have been the biggest thing i have ever framed had it not been a model……..
it was however a very nice model with working pedals etc.

For the larger bits of glass a regular galverised bin with a garden lid on it ( the sort for burning garden rubbish ) the hole is then ideal for putting a heavy pole in and giving it a real bashing without bits flying. Then tipped in the smaller boxes for centrado to dispose of. Easy and cheap!

careful driving is a must for me as I stick out like a sore thumb in our small town in Lincolnshire. I actually drive a Black Cab which has our logo etc. all over it ( Black Cab Studio) it is a great talking point and I think it reminds people that I am there as they see it around. It also acts as a...

I am liking the platform mount idea not one I had thought of, so thank you for reminding me of it as an option. I am now fully armed with lots of options so am looking forward to getting it on with it. lets hope the quote is acceptable. One last question before I mess up on some expensive board, how...

I have checked with my insurance company and the customer and will make temp arrangements if necessary. not planning on having them with me any longer than I need, just like you want rid of them asap. its all very exciting as they are a find from under someones bed.

Thanks for all the help, it has pointed us in the right direction. We are taking our chevrons with us as we have fitted out a high top van as a complete showroom ( including a built in full size plan chest!) . I will post some pics when it is finished which should be next week.

thanks robo, some are on boards and others are fragile but I haven't seem them yet ( just description from customer.) so I was trying to quote to cover all possible needs. if the papers are fragile I was thinking of encapsulation but not quite sure how to then attach that to the museum under mount t...

I have a customer who is wanting a quote for some valuable art to be mounted to museum standard, I was going to use a sink mount to support the work & conservation v strips. In addition to the under mount and top mount they want a protective sheet that can flip over the front of the mount to pro...
