DIY Framing, by Deleted on Jan 11, 2016 22:29:45 GMT 1, I have possibly put this in the wrong section, if so then sorry
What i would like is for this thread to be a guide to DIY framing
As you possibly know if you get stuff framed properly it can be around ยฃ250 to frame a banksy sized print
I stopped buying prints a while back due to the cost of framing so...........
I think its time i stopped paying out for framing and had a play myself.
So experienced framer dudes, what do i need? and how do i do it?
Thanks

DIY Framing, by Matt on Jan 11, 2016 22:37:57 GMT 1, Good question, I think a few on here have some serious equipment.
I looked into it a while back but was a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff for mitre guillotines, underpinners, mat cutters, glass cutters, not to mention all the adhesives and supplies and techniques...
I figured I was better off paying for it, with the added benefit of keeping all of my fingers and limbs
