David Schummy, owner of Fix-a-Frame, has taught picture framing classes at TAFE and privately since 1991. In 1995 he was contracted by VETEC to write 16 of the 22 modules used to train picture framers nationally. He has taught 14 apprentices and over 1200 individuals how to make frames.

Even though we currently have no time to run DIY framing classes you can still register your interest so we can let you know if a course becomes available.

You will find many helpful tips and notes on how to frame your pictures by following the links on this page.

David is currently working on an instructional DVD that will be available to purchase via our online store.

If you have any questions regarding picture framing or would like to purchase framing equipment or supplies please contact us.

We keep an extensive range of products for picture framing at our Mt. Gravatt showroom. Online you can purchase chopped frames that are ready to join using a simple thumbnail that we provide. All the bits and pieces, matboards, foamboards, glass and acrylic is available in store or you can purchase a selected range from our online shop.

Lengths of picture framing are pre-cut to sizes of your choice. Mitres are routed to accept thumbnail wedges, then slotted at the mitre so you can join your frame with a special wedge which is provided. The chopped frame is then dispatched to you.

All those things that picture framers keep to themselves, like... "D rings", "V nails", turnbuttons, felt bumpers, push points...in fact just about every little fitting or accessory available.
