Hello all

Postby Logger » 13 Nov 2019, 21:58

Hi,

I have joined this forum following a recommendation from Roger S. Apparently, this forum is a more friendly place than another one i am a member of.

I have been running my joinery business for 6 years now. I am also a picture framer. Based north of Bath near Badminton, I was a picture framer first, then was given an old bandsaw and table saw, so started making use of them.

6 years on, joinery is now about 80-85% of my turnover, and i have been able to invest in newer and bigger toys (i mean machines!) and i move into a bigger unit next week. Most of my picture framing i do for artists including Jack Russell (ex England cricketer). Frames are normally hand finished frames including guilding.

Joinery wise, i make doors and windows, furniture, kitchens, all the usual. Despite the fact that they provide my income, i am lucky enough to still consider both framing and woodworking as hobbies.

I have attached photos of a wardrobe i recently made and a frame i did for a Jack Russell oil painting of Ashes Headingly test which has gone to the Headingly Heritage Museum.

Cheers

Hi Nick, and welcome from me too.
Glad to see you’ve sorted image posting as we do like photos around here.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

cheers
