Recent basic efforts

Post by YPF »

Hi All,

I joined this forum some time ago to ask a question about starting up a framing business, I received some excellent advice directly from here and from members personally and for that I thank you all. I have now plucked up enough courage to show you some of my recent efforts :sweating: and all techniques used are those I have picked up from this excellent forum.

These all look great Steve, and far from basic! :clap:
Good idea to have some interesting samples such as the golf ball to show customers.

Hi Steve,

If this is an example of your work after recently starting up, I'm impressed.

Many thanks for your kind comments - at least I know I'm sort of doing it right. I just need a lot more of those customers now!
