Let me introduce myself.

Thanks for your help with the picture, I now see that I failed to grab the front bracket when transfering the link.

I see that in my absence there has been speculation as to who and what I may be.

I am male,definitely.

I am not wealthy enough to be a philanthropist, however I am prepared to be sufficiently philanthropic to use my experience to try to show this forum that an important element of the framers craft has gone missing through the 20th century.

If you are interested I will continue as and where the opportunities appear.

The photo eventually showed that I am not a complete charlatan, there are more to come.

Your suspicions about my critism of Pete Bingham, I spoke to him directly and and wrote to the magazine with my reasons.

Also a critism aimed at the framing supply industry, but more an observation based on experience. As retailers you are targets for others to outlet their products, some are benign and some predatory, in this instance I believe there is positive opposition. It may be due to a misunderstanding of the product, outright ignorance or indifference but one thing is certain.

Other people will be doing work that should be done by framers (it is already happening).

Thankyou for your Wecome, if there is to be a useful debate I hope it will be both informative and entertaining.
