And all I can say is WOW!

Besides it being a great tool, it also doubles as a nice work of art. The box, the packing, everything is top notch.

Thanks Dave, I cant wait to use it. Beautiful tool.

Another writer friend of mine was dead impressed with my Smith tip and -I think he's ordered one from Mike at handovers now.

I did a full leaf gild the other day with mine again- (over a completely blacked out ground so just the gold letters left showing on the glass so easy really) but the tip was magic for that- a whole book laid in less than an hour!

It makes working on site like that so easy- the job was in a shop window with people in and out the doors right next to be all the time so lots of draughts to cope with ... no problem with the tip!- Brilliant!

Dave- have you ever thought of having the back of the plates marked up?.. maybe a digiprint sticker with your artwork on as well as the box??-

I thought about engraving them on the backs Wayne.
Glad you like yours and that it helps in the process.
Thanks
Dave
