Hi All. I am signing up to the forum today after getting some advice from an experienced framer that this is a great place to share, feel supported and support others. Can't believe how much information there is here. Great to have the info and terrifying to realise how little I know.
I have escaped corporate life and am picking up on a previous hobby to develop it into a creative focus and potentially a small business. Years ago I was a passionate photographer and my wife took up picture framing, mainly to support me. Other careers took over. The Camera gathered dust and the framing equipment sat around in our garage. I am now resurrecting the equipment. Morso blades went off to be sharpened yesterday! I realise how lucky I am to have time and some decent quality lightly used equipment (albeit badly in need of some tlc).
In addition to the morso we still have a keencut mat cutter and I've acquired a well used excalibur glass cutter. I now know that our Taurus underpinner is discontinued but I still have some nails to get me started. Early results are just that - a start. However, I've made my first ever frames and I'm planning to keep improving.
Look forward to chatting!
Hello

Welcome to the FF
A dusty camera, tut-tut Get your duster out and start shooting again... I hope it's a film camera

Re: Hello
Thanks Both.
I still love the film camera but it had slightly more dust than the digital one! Both now looking a little sharper!
