  • New sable quills are here!!!

    Posted by Neil Davey on 27 September 2007 at 12:37

    Hi guys,

    Took delivery today of my new sable quills, going to start using them today once they’ve been set up (removed from cardboard carrier).

    Went the whole hog and bought a number 4, 6, and 8. I also got a 1" flat for the bigger stuff.

    Wish me luck all of you, quite an investment.

    Neil

    Sorry couldn’t resist 😉

    Good luck! I hope the investment pays off.

    I bought some plain white envelopes yesterday. I’m not even opening them until I’ve read the manual!

    I hope you got a maintenance contract with those – I’d hate to see you get stuck if one of them fails 😕

    Congratulations Neil,

    I see you opted for the eco friendly version.
    Have you leased them, or did you manage to buy outright?

    😉

    They have been known to spell things wrong in the past, but I’m pretty sure that it’s down to operator having too much to drink the night before. (drink1) 😕

    Peter, I’ve been in business 20 years this year so I thought I would treat myself and buy them outright.

    I did go to Northern Rock for a loan but they refused!!!!

    Northern Rock? I’m surprised they didn’t ask YOU for a loan.

    Great work Jill,

    There is a good book by Anne Young all about Narrow Boat painting.
