Box Framing a British Military No2’s Uniform Jacket

Box Framing a British Military No2’s Uniform Jacket

A friend and local business owner recently completed some military medal mounting for Lloyd, an ex-serving soldier from Newark, Nottingham. 
They struck up a conversation and Lloyd shared an idea he had for a retirement gift for a very good friend of his. They hatched a plan to produce a retirement gift with the WOW factor!
During the conversation, George who owns McKay’s Kilts and Medal in Consett, suggested using my framing services to help create the gift.
Lloyd  visited my workshop the very same day to discuss the options.To cut a long story short, the images you see in this post are of the finished item. Working together helped get the WOW factor and more!!

Local History Framed

Local History Framed

Invitation to view an item I’ve framed.
So…….. I received a call from a customer who I recently framed a large flag for.
Tom, who is a key member in my local community presented a Boys Brigade Flag to be framed at my workshop. The flag was discovered during recent renovation works at West Pelton Methodist Church. The church is literally 30 steps from my family home.
On completion, Tom promised an invite to view the framed flag once it was hung in the church. 
I very rarely get the opportunity to view something I’ve framed once it leaves the workshop.
It was humbling to see the framed flag in the church and to listen to the positive feedback it received.

With the Easter break just around the corner I’d like to make you aware of the workshop opening times over the Easter period.
As you may already know, I run the workshop on my own, but do have occasional help. I believe family time is very important, therefore I will be closing the workshop over the easter period.
I understand how frustrating it can be when a shop closes for a short period of time, but I hope it does not cause too much frustration.The workshop will close at 5:00pm on Thursday 18th April 2019.
Opening again at 9:00am on Wednesday 24th April 2019,
I will be working flat out to complete all orders taken.Unfortunately I can not guarantee orders taken from the Saturday 13th of April 2019 will be ready for collection before I close for the easter break.
Thank you for your understanding.Wishing you a Happy Easter.
Best wishes Dave

Professional Picture Framing Service in the North East of England

Over the past several months I’ve had an increasing number of people ask if I will sell them all the materials I use to make frames, so they can make their own. The short answer to this question is simply NO. There are a number of reasons why I am not willing to sell the materials and
I’d like to share some of those reasons with you in this short post.
