Re: Skills.
I was looking for youtubes of of the 5 channel memory minigragh underpinner (maybe a possible purchase soon) and ended up watching this . I wasn't really looking for tips making 10 x 8 frames, honest I wasn't .

Re: Skills.
I have the index and middle finger missing on my left hand due to an accident 45 years ago on a spindle moulder.
(which is a very big version of what our acrobatic friend is using)
I could only watch him pushing the first length through. I had to switch it off. Couldn't watch the rest.
It makes my skin crawl when I see something like that.
The spindle was doing 4000 revs with 6" cutters. And all I had left was my little finger (they sewed my thumb & ring finger back on.)
That router is doing 20,000 revs. It won't take as many fingers off, but it'll make his eyes water. That's for sure

Good advice is best learned, rather than simply listened to.

Re: Skills.
I've missed a trick here, I use mouldings which cost money from frame suppliers when from what I can see, you can make good frames by using wood from old fence panels. I have seen these are popular in all the posh galleries.

Re: Skills.
inspired by this vidio I have made some frames out of some old broom handles, can't wait for the rush of customers on Monday.
I checked out his other youtubes to see if I could pick up any other framing tips, imagine my delight when one of the afore mentioned videos is entitled Hunting with a five year old.
