SecondMoonshot

From Zabrina: John 

Since most of us will never really be interviewed (or even be asked), I decided that I would just interview myself…who better to ask the compelling questions that no one else is going to ask or care about. It was a joke conversation Zabrina and I were having in the car and thought it would be fun to do and a non-traditional way to share some information about us and SecondMoonshot. John: Welcome John, thank you for taking the time to talk with me. Let’s start with the basics, tell us in a nutshell the fundamentals of yourself. JOHN: Thanks John, it is truly [emphasized excessively] a pleasure to meet you in person! Well, I was born in Indiana in 1965, as a child I rode bikes and skateboards with no helmet, probably didn’t wear a seatbelt until I was 25 too. Average middle class raising in a military (Marines) family with 2 sisters and 1 brother - all older. Divorced 13 or so years ago, hope the ex is happy, she’s a good person, we had 2 wonderful children, Carrianne and Mitch. Met Zab

Over the last few months, I have invested in some new equipment that will allow some new capabilities on wooden frames, offer more consistent results in mat board cutting, and more clearly set expectations on pricing and options.

It has to be in the appropriate style, color and in an appropriate size. Even with the first few customers, I noticed that while I had a lot of frames, it just wasn’t working. I needed to be able to provide more flexibility yet still leverage the large inventory of used high quality frames on the market via auctions, estate sales, thrift stores, and who knows where else. To this end, I decided I would start doing frame reduction on wood frames (not metal). I would remove the miter joints, cut them down to proper size for a piece of interest and then glue and V-nail them together. It’s a Lo

This is a price list estimation chart for custom framing. It is a work in progress and feedback welcome. Prices are estimates but shouldn’t be too far off, please call or email for getting a more accurate quote. An example pricing for a small piece, using recovered wood frame and glass (no resizing), single one opening mat would be $28, medium $52, and large $80. Costing is composed of a frame, glass, mat board and assembly charge. How to Use The intent is that you pick one frame, one glass/glazing, one (or more) mat optional, and appropriate assembly charge. Add them up for the estimate. Size is based on largest length or width which cannot exceed specified dimensions, for example if you are framing a piece which is 10” x 33”, that would be a Large.
