Making your own frames / framing

[CoolHands]

anyone do this? I have a couple of large pictures / posters I want to frame in some way. I'm not arty. Any good seller of the bits I need on the web / ebay? or any tips you can give me?

eg I have an old radio controlled car box lid (19080's thing) I'd like to frame and have in my garage, and stuff like that.

If you're not arty my advice would be to find someone good local to do it for you, it'll save loads of swearing and smashing stuff up. I printed and framed my photos for my entries to joe cornish's summer competition a couple of years back and hated every minute, when I had my first exhibition at his gallery I found a local printer to print, mount and frame them and have used them ever since, the results are superb, they know what I like and they are happy to sort out rush jobs for me.

Without the right tools its a mission, and with the right tools it takes skill.

Doing a couple well yourself could take quite some time and effort...
