Hi I want to make a frame which consists of two mouldings stacked together. An inner moulding sitting inside the rebate of an outer moulding. My questions about this are pretty basic: 1). Should I allow the same as I do for glass - adding 2mm to the outer frame for cutting? 2). Will PVA wood glue be...

@kuduframes - you beauty!!! I owe you one. Big thank you. Not dealt with Lion yet. The artist did say "ideally" so if it ends up slightly narrower it shouldn't be a problem. She did give me a minimum and this moulding is within the range, just. It's deeper than planned, but I can pack it a...

No need to apologise James - I totally appreciate you trying to help - and you have helped steer my thinking about the construction so thanks mate. I tend to agree with you, as in: I've not much faith in their measurements or indeed in their drawings right now (My admittedly 1 year old catalogue has...

I thought something was a bit odd... This has a 22mm rebate, so you can put 4mm MDF in the bottom and then the 18mm canvas on top. 48mm wide, less then 11mm rebate gives you 37mm width. sw9597.jpg Above is the moulding, screen grabbed from R&H's website. I have confirmed with R&H that the 'r...

Thanks @prospero, really interesting, I'll investigate. Mind you, 7m!!! Blimey, I need a bigger workshop.

Thank you Jamesnkr. Yes I could see it, thanks. I've realised I'm working to their old catalogue where you had to measure off their drawings (which I always thought was....). They've got a website now with the measurements on... I had the wrong dimensions on SW9597... !!!

Hi, hope you can help me out. I've had an order placed by an artist about to do an exhibition consisting of 20 or so paintings on stretched canvas and on canvas board. She's beaten me down on price per unit and I'm beginning to wonder if I'll make anything on it! She wants them 'all the same'. White...

Thank you David I thought it odd that I couldn't turn up much on the internet about this and wondered if there was another name for it I needed to be searching with. As always with the forum format, digesting the information - extracting what you need - means reading the whole thread carefully. I've...

Hi I'm seeing a lot of what I believe are called "Moat Tray Frames", but cannot find any mouldings or any instructions on how to make them. Does anyone know of either? Example of what I'm referring to is here: http://johnloader.com/wp-content/gallery/landscapes-large/russellsframewhite1.jp...

Hi Kenneycm and Steve N Thank you both for these suggestions. This is awesome. I've gone from despairing that I'd track the moulding down to discovering there are possbly umpteen options. I intend to get hold of some chevrons for all of these potentially. I'll certainly follow them all up. Big thank...

Hi - thank you Roboframer and Chris62. Really helpful. I will follow up all of these. Much appreciated. Take care and thank you for taking the time. Best.

Hi. I've been trying to track down a really thin oak moulding and wondered if anyone here could point me to any suppliers they think will have it. I've been looking at all the usual suspects online to no avail, and have a feeling the supplier is possibly not online. The only 12mm wide oak moulding I...
