i've just got around to framing my Graduation certificate and tube.
Museum Glass, and 4 layers of Bainbridge Alphamat artcare "Palomino"
the photograph doesn't show it off to its full glory, but hopefully gives you an idea of what it looks like, layers are spaced away with foamboard, and the top mount is spaced away from the glass with large econospace, allowing the certificate tube to float above the layer of the top mount.
tube was going to be held in place with mighty mounts, but we lost them, so good old loops of thread are holding it in.
worked out the custom framing cost for a job like this would be around £200.00
the Frame in comparison to everything else was the cheapest component at £20.00 retail... its a very very cheap D/R wood from Ashworth & Thompson at about £1.10 a metre. Cheap but lovely to work with.
Grahame had to add in another box frame at the back to make it deep enough though, the depth just wasn't great enough to include the Tube any other way.

Coulda aksed the uni for a buckshee tube and sawed it in half
Looks great! Is that a St Andrews University degree I spy?! I graduated from there in 1987 and ordered the optional Latin degree certificate which looks very impressive framed. Guess quite a few things have changed since I was there, but, no doubt, I would still recognise most of the wee town.
if i had been a little bit more organised i would have put in a Visimem Video screen, playing back DVD footage of the ceremony. Theres nothing like taking something to excess
nothing much seems to change in St Andrews, it goes along at the same sedate pace, although there are probably more coffee shops now than back then, and the shopping arcade on Market street was flattened to make way for a boots.
Still has the highest concentration of pubs per square mile though.
