    Another job finished on Friday, but I’ve only just had chance to get a piccy. 751 onto LeBoard for the main sign, replaced all the soffits (or whatever you call them) and made up the window above the sign with a frame and boarding. The window, simple text in 751 with glass etch at the base, hand cut.

    Again, owe much to Caroline on the window graphics as she hand cut the wavy bit on the etch 😀

    Cheers, Dewi

    I like how the wave in American is like the wave on the window. Good job.

    I think it won’t be long before Caroline takes over in the shop & sends you out with your ladders fitting. After all most customers would rather deal with a pretty face than see you when they walk in the shop!!! :lol1: :peek:

    PS sent you a jiffy bag in the post mate, (clips) :bigwink:

    Missed this one. Sorry Northerner!

    Looks the dog’s testicles matey. It’s just a shame that bloody bus shelter is in the way.

    Nice one.

    I object.
    If it were truly American Nails,
    the clientelle pictured would be a McD’s fed
    over-tanned heifer in blue Spandex pants
    and a white sweater with sparkly red stars,
    not the cutie depicted on the storefront.
    Or an anorexic Paris Hilton type…..
    Love….jill
    (I myself have no nails to speak of, they get in the way of the paint)
    Glad to hear you’ve hired an assistant, Dewi.
