Bonjour
Hello All
Just a brief intro, I’ve spent most of my working life in the decorating/building trades but due to a change in my personal circumstances I now have to spend a lot of time working from home.After a lot of deliberation I’ve decided to get myself a cutter/plotter . My only experience of vinyl cutting was a lot of years ago on I think a gerber?, a bit like a large grey typewriter with the cutter mounted on the top.
I did also do a couple of years at college (again a long time ago ) but that was all brushwork and although i still have my kit, all nicely greased up, what little talent I might have had has deffinately deserted me.
So I’m hoping your boards are the right place for me to get the help I will undoubtedly needCheers

Bienvénue Fred!
Those old skills aren’t dead, they are just laying dormant.
You can use your knowledge of both old & new techniques.
I cut on a Fred Flinstone Gerber 4E every day!
But I paint as well, and have a big kit full of oily brushes with sticky handles.
You will like this site. Enjoy!

Hi Freddie
Big Welcome to the site
I understand you’ve had a dabble with the ‘ol paint brush. It might surprise you how quickly you can get into it again. Give it a bash.
Your experience in painting and decorating will not go amiss either as there are plenty of folks who want to have the traditional wooden boards all painted up and signwritten
Enjoy the site

Hi Freddie
Welcome from me too.
It was the french heading that must have thrown me, ‘cos I didnt see your post either. P’raps it’s these new glasses (hot)
Anyway, nice to see you joining in UKSB – not all the members here are stark staring bonkers; not quite.
😀
Cheers

alan your probably like most of the regulars mate.. only scroll the latest posts to find new posts.. i know i do, but then again im always here 😆
basicaly whats been happening is that we are getting over 200 posts every 24hrs, so if you log on in the evening you miss a chunk of posts from early on in the day because the latest posts only covers about 25 topics. 😕
only one thing for it.. browse the forums 😮 😆 😆
