Hi Áine,
No fixings as the design is to stand, so I think they are not frames anymore, but display cases oops! I'm in the wrong forum!

Steve,
That is a nice looking job! I'm sure your customer will be impressed!
Because this is something that I would like to keep in mind for the future, I have some questions:
1. From your description, I don't quite understand the way the parts of the frame and the foamboard and the 10mm angle are constructed. Could you please show us a cross sectional drawing of the construction.
2. Is the glass in contact with the shirt?
3. What archival properties does the black foamboard have?
Thanks!

Hi Ormond,
You can buy the 10mm angle in B&Q in 1 & 2 metre lengths, they were cut to size and just stuck on to the edges of the frame. The foamcore dose not come into contact with the shirts in any way, have a look at the drawing below, hope it explains the construction, should have posted it when I posted the photos.
regards Steve

I like it a lot - construction and design and although I'm not equipped to cut metal, those corners would cover a hacksaw cut.
Worthy of a topic of it's own too.

It is - but you can solve the problem with a double (back to back) frame.avantime wrote:
It's a shame there aren't very many deep mouldings for jobs like that.

Hi Guys,
Hugh,
yes you are right about deep mouldings, but I suppose that they make them to the max size to be cut and joined by equipment that most framers have.
Áine,
I get my Black foamcore from Lion, never had a problem with the surface paper coming off.
John,
I cut these with an hacksaw, as you say the corners hide the ends, after they were cut, they were stuck onto the frames, I polished them with wirewool to bring up a bit of a shine.
Ormond,
You are quite right, 8 ply alpamat could be used.
NYAF,
Thanks for the kind words.
In fact thanks to all for the very kind remarks you have all made about these frames.
Steve
