Re: Customer video
Thanks Cal- really nice to see
Re: Customer video
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.

Re: Customer video
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.

Re: Customer video
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.

Re: Customer video
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.
