A lot have seem to like my western frames so maybe I can give something to someone who hasn't found out about this trick. Making The Frame okay i bought 1x4 x8" western rough cedar $4.29 each spit a bunch in half. then set fence and ripped sides about 1.125 got 3 out of each 8' then ripped dado to accept picture and glass. i glued edge of the 1 3/4" piece and placed 1.125 i air nailed it with 1" brads. after i made some patterns and laid out a long and short piece for making 11"x14" frame. glued edges pop 4 staples 2 each side. then hit edges with an orbital sander to knock slivers off. Make Them Old get 2 individual pieces of 0000 steel wool and a gallon of white vinegar and a plastic sealable tube that will hold 2 gallons. pour vinegar and steel wool and close up for at least 2 days. open and stir if it's all dissolved, add 1 gallon of water to the mixture. now paint all exposed surfaces and get them wet. let them set overnight add hangers that's it. Now I hear it only works in western cedar and sometimes you will see orange spots I touch them with liquid again and they get less bright. I think it makes my western pictures. Any questions please ask -
okay like most have had several color inkjets and price of ink well lets just say its high. last year made a jump and this is what i have learned and maybe i can help some of you save a dollar or two. i bought a lazier printer black only about $100 at walmart . but the cartridges are $50 but do last longer bought a couple over the year and thought there has to be a better way. i order a off brand replacement and just the refill kit. the refill kit is $8 (cheaper if you buy 4 pack i will do when i need more) really easy to refill its a dry powder and you have to reset the gear inside. comes with instructions. refilled mine in minutes and have been using it for a very long time. i would say i am saving a bunch of money by these changes .good luck and heres a link to what i bought and i have no connection with this sight. http://www.suppliesoutlet.com/Brother-HL-2270DW-Toner-Cartridge-s/17105.htm
