Up until recently i always bought the mounts and frames and framed my pictures myself. I thought i would try a professional framers and see the difference in quality, price etc.
I will never again use a pro framer. There was no real difference in quality but there was a BIG difference in price. £15 to do it myself or £75 to get someone to do it for me
I realise the guy had to make a profit and overheads and i'm not saying he was expensive. I'm just saying you can save a lot by doing it yourself.
