    Western Frames

    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
  4. 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
