Ryan - actually I just submitted my order - but didn't catch the option to edit the order details before executing the transaction. Anyhoo, I sent you a separate email with all my info. Looking forward to it.

Quoted from robin:Awesome!
I'm gonnna start looking for a frame that fits this baby. Maybe have one made to size.
I have a local frame shop that does an amazing job matching frames to the art. Expensive, but worth it to get a frame that compliments the art so well.
Quoted from ff6735:Anyone get there's framed yet?
I'm outta town but have been told by my super supportive girlfriend it has arrived.
I'm trying to figure out how to do it. But want to turn this into a yearbook of sorts. By this I mean matte and frame it. Each pinsider that visits my home I'd like for them to sign on the matted portion. Thoughts?
Not a bad idea. Got a sample of what you're looking to do? I can sort of picture it, but not quite.
Apologies to the grainy, wide-angle shot ... but there it is front and center in my home office. I found a nice brushed aluminum frame at IKEA today that worked pretty well.
P.s., I'll get a nicer closeup shot later today when the sun's up. The frame is a low budget option, but looks great.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Happy early morning, pinster68.
Thanks for posting this (and great office, BTW!)For anyone interested in framing their poster, another option to consider is using sectional frames from a place like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or Jerry's Artarama.

It's an easy way to customize and frame something that is an odd size, like the Pinside poster.
Hope this helps, guys!

Thanks Ryan.
My intent was to disassemble the IKEA frame. The sections looked like they can be pulled apart, then a mitre saw with a fine metal-cutting blade should get the right dimensions. The last part is the glass. The IKEA frame comes with glass, but despite having several glass cutting tools in my box of old tools, I don't have the courage yet to try. For now, it'll do. I'll upgrade at a later date.
Regards,
Brian
edit: okay, my courage just improved:
Quoted from ff6735:It's been the better part of a year or more, but I finally got around to getting it out of the tube. Man it looks awesome finished and framed.
Fiancé brought it to Michaels, set a nice matte, good reduced glare glass and a complimenting frame. Came out awesome I think.image_(resized).jpeg
Framing looks great. Nice job.

Does Michael's offer a framing service, or is this DIY?
Quoted from ff6735:Yes, Michaels did the framing matting etc. We brought it down, they showed us options and about a week and a half later she picked it up.
Mind me asking the cost? My local frame shop charges a fortune.
