SPFG, Supreme Picture Framing God
Some days you frame "for the love of it". If it doesn't happen often, than occationally it's OK.
The son of a very good customer of 25 years, came in with the "day" wheel from the clock that had been in the family for over 150 years.
The clock works had died beyond repair, and so had been replaced. He had salvaged the wheel that they had all "grown up with".
He wanted to frame it for his mothers 50th birthday.
Only, ("Just"?!?!) could you make the wheel turn some how???? AND, here is a picture of the clock. Is there a frame that looks like that????
The little model airplane wheel turns the dial.
Lazer etched plexi, 9 hours in the wood shop (Aaaw gee, must I?), and 49 "dry" fits to make it work, and a piece of scrap museum glass.....
We charged him $350. He came back and said his mother cried. What ever we lost, we did care.
She was in the next week with huggs for both of us. We are richer for doing this "frame".
