[Thursday] Mats, Frames, and Museum Funds

[Ken Carr]

Randy,
Excellent!I suspect we have many members who haveskills that they are ready to exercise.
Even if Steve just did 10 items as a market testwe would be "cooking with gas" as they usedto say. We freshen up our gift shop and see what happens.In the worst-case scenario Steve has produced somewonderful wall art for a display all about how the historyof radio was graphically displayed throughout thedecades.
Thank you for considering this project. Len and I willmake a special collection of duplicates and deliverthem to you. OK with you, Len?

 Guys,
We actually have a professional mat cutting tool and framing tools at our disposal.  Our Steam Up chef, Steve, has all the equipment from a framing business sitting in his basement and has been wanting to help us with this very project for years.  He already has a pile of frame stock that was bought at an auction for us to use and mat scraps as well.  I'll inquire with him as to how big the whole setup is and we can find a spot for a nice winter project.

Do we have anyone in the membership who is adept at makingmats for framed pictures?This could be a nice regular feature of our museum gift shop.We certainly have an excess of duplicate antique radiomagazine covers.
This recent Facebook post shows a nice example.This cover and similar ones are what Len and I were sortinglast Thursday.
