We have a two part blog this week. The first part is about building crates for two works of art that were being shipped across the country. The second is about a project that has been in the works for years... You'll have to read the first half the blog to find out what it is. So, on to part one! While Poster Mountain and LA Paper Group are conservation and restoration studios, we are happy to consult on anything that is poster/paper related, which is how we ended up working on this project. A client brought in two framed pieces of art work that were being shipped across the country, but he was leery of just putting them in a cardboard box. We generally ship posters out in tubes, but since these pieces were framed that was not an option. So John told him that we (we meaning Gabe, our resident handyman and power tool expert) could build individual crates for each piece. It was an added bonus that the two pieces were really cool. One is original art and the other is an artist'...
