Hey Randall
Great looking display to you and all else. Kinda got me interested in trying to do the matting myself. I have a lot of items just sitting in top loader and 8by10 holders that I can make various groupings of. Great looking stuff. Mike Last edited by brookdodger55; 05-13-2013 at 10:30 AM. |

Try it, its a lotta fun. Just start off with making square and rectangle mattes. You will get the hang of it. Plus it litterally saves hundreds of dollars. matting is the most overpriced industry I know of. the only thing I wish I could do was those cuts they make with a machine of logos and what not. I wouldn't mind getting a mat cutting machine someday but I thing they are pricey.

Steve,
The framed group is very well done. I love adding the medals. Randall, Wow. Your room does look very similar to mine. My space is approx 15 x 22. Here some empty pics. I have to get some better pictures of what I have hanging already. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I agree about those machines. They are ridiculously priced, but can cut amazing mat designs. It would be cool if a group of people were close enough to buy one together and share it. Scott, Don't be impatient. I have been in my house for 13 yrs and only now are we finally getting around to finishing the basement so I can have a man cave. It will come and seeing some of the stuff you have in your collection, I'm sure it will be quite spectacular once completed. You should start practicing your mat cutting/framing now so you can be an expert when the time comes.
