Framing 40x60's
« on: June 05, 2014, 01:35:35 PM »
Dam I just got a quote to frame my french Batman poster.......$800-$1,300.00????  That was at 4 different places, and one of them wanted to do a frame within a frame to structurally support it. Hmmm, quotes like this makes me want to learn how to frame my own posters ha.

A French poster is not 40x60in, but closer to 47x63in.

And if you don't have a father-in-law, get married and get one.  They're good at this kind of shit.

Dude, when he comes over, he downs 3 bottles of $20+ wine a night, so I've paid enough.

The guy is a hand surgeon (he actually discovered a ligament no one knew existed), turned orthopedic surgeon (he fixed more than 2,000 children's back), turned minister of faith, turner carpenter (obviously), turned alcoholic, turned pain in my ass.
