Coseley Canalside Commission 2024

A fabulous framing day 🧡

I prefer hand tools to noisy electrical ones and this box mitre saw was just the ticket! It was very easy to cut. Phew!

I've glued the base of each section of the frame and the side of the backerboard with Rewmar Flexy Fix, then held it in place with the frame clamp. It's probably already dried, but I'll leave it in place for a few hours.

Tools of the trade:
Montolit 55W2 wheel nippers
Side biters
Toyo glass scorer
Vitrex score snapper
Box manual mitre
