Customer video

Post by Cal Trauter »

Hey my first post here. I was technology challenged, but here goes. This video was shot by my customer while painting her windows.
Love this type of customer. Enjoy and pass on.
Cal.

Really nice video, Cal.
Gotta tell you that on top of seeing your great hand lettering, I loved seeing that nifty rolling cart. And your brushes were so immaculately cared for in your brush kit. Topped off nicely as you folded up your apron without a spot of paint on yourself and headed off to your next commission.
Everyone has their own style from having paint on every square inch of their belongings to not a drop in sight. I fall somewhere in between but I like your clean professionalism.

I totally agree with Dan. When I was looking at the video, I tought to myself: "How much paper towels would I have used?". That would have been a lot unfortunatly. Clean proper work, shows your extra quality in my opninion.

Great to see you here on the site buddy and a fantastic film to watch. I had a big happy grin on my face throughout watching you work.

How many trades are there where after 15 plus years at it and being around it I still get a buzz and a smile watching another craftsman practicing it!

I look forward our next merry meeting Cal.

Thanks Ash, Kind words and I look forward to meeting again down the road.
Thanks Bob, MidWest Sign supply, won a gift voucher at a letterhead meet, which I put toward this kit, and it was shipped to another meet where I picked it up,so lots of memories. Also Mr. Doug, thanks I think, you will notice a shorthaired clean shaven business man/artist, he said LOL.
Thanks it has been fun, now to market this thing.
