    Re: Where do you buy frames?

    I've been using http://www.framingsupplies.com/ for a couple of years right now. I'm particularly fond of their Designer Profile 86 in Pewter Gray. A 16x20 set with corner hardware is $16.70. Springs and wire hangers are sold separate. 100 springs is $4.15 and 100 wire hangers is $9.25. From the time I place an order to the time I receive it is generally three days.

    Where do you buy frames?

    If you're picky-choosey you can get Walmart frames that are nice. Not the plastic but the wider-framed wood ones. They have a couple different styles which match our colonial-style home interior. Options tend to be limited when 90% of your income goes to bills, food, and kids. I would get frames elsewhere if I was independently wealthy.

    I've made my own frames too out of wood from the local lumber yard like walnut, mahogany, maple. I do that for unusual aspect ratios like a print of William Trego's March to Valley Forge. Framed it in Walnut with hand-rubbed BLO finish. Came out real nice, even to my own eye (I'm my harshest critic, that sort of thing)
    Newly made large format dry plates available! Look:

    Good prices, excellent service; a very "family business" sort of operation. And frequent sales, which are a good time to stock up. Right now, free shipping on orders over $125.

    Frame destination for me

    As a note, I have cut plenty of aluminum Bainbridge frames using an inexpensive miter saw from Home Depot and an off-the-shelf aluminum blade. As long as you mind how you place the frame in the saw, you'll be fine. All of the cuts I have made have turned out perfect.
