Wilson142 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Really nice. I remember seeing the movie in the late 60's with Mick Jagger playing the lead. Blast from the past! John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new one sounds like it should be pretty good, but like all things we have to wait and see. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodduck Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Lovely job on that one John .I have done a few of Ned myself as my son is a big fan of his. Add another one to the list who dislikes the Jagger version of Ned. wombatie and John B 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted August 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I like the top frame as do a lot of people. Unfortunately they take quite a bit longer to knock up than a standard mitred frame. I usually frame a few cuttings, typically "Country" style cuttings with this type of frame and whack an extra $20 on the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
