Grumbler in Training
I am new to the Grumble and fairly new to the framing business. Last summer, I bought a small, but well-established shop in central Virginia that wholesales framed botanical prints to catalogs like Orvis and Shaker Workshops. I chop Emafyl molding on a foot-operated Morso Chopper and join on a foot-operated Cassese, CS 79 V-nailer. My grumble is that I have never been satisfied with the joints. They look okay on the face of the frame, but always open slightly on the outside edge. Because customers have never complained, the former owner did not consider this a problem, but it drives me crazy. I’ve made sure my blades are correctly sharpened, and I have experimented with different positions for the v-nails, but nothing seems to affect the problem. Tech support available for the equipment has not been helpful. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
PS: I would love to have a partner in this endeavor. The custom part of the business is yet to be developed, and the potential in this area appears to be excellent.
Thank you.
