Thanks for the input, oh and Carrie, I have just remembered something oops 😳 😳 The stickers!!! sorry dear….

[Bill Dewison]

Really smart Nobby 😀 Is this the one you’re going to apply gold leaf to?

I have to ask this, but it looks like you’ve photographed the crest on a bed 😮 Now I know you’re dedicated to your work, but you’re not sleeping with the crest are you? 😉

Cheers, Dewi

Hi Dewi,

Great observation mate!! :lol1: The crest is up in my attic room on the sofa bed at home as I felt I could do it when I wanted that way, the odd hour at midnight…….Ok maybe not that late!! Nine o’ clock maybe. I am going to TRY and apply gold leaf to it…..been a long time since the last one I did!
All this creativity sometimes leaves me very tired Dewi, also have a secret bottle of single malt tucked away too!! 😉

No problem, to be honest stickers are an area we no longer deal with unless it is very very small runs …… too much hassle ….. signs are our main area and thats how I like it …. the customer was a pain in the a$$.

My memory is like a sieve Carrie, I have been using 1Shot far too much recently, must be gettin’ to me….. Hope your well?

Ahhhhh, someone else with great taste in Whiskey. If you are ever by the seaside drop in, we can have a session!!

[Bill Dewison]

Working next to a bed with a secret stash of booze, and using a paint brush! I want your job!!!!! 😮 😮 Wanna do swappsies on a diddy blue shop with a building site across the road and a bookies next door, its really nice, honest! 🙄

Let us know how the gold leafing goes, and the crest as well, its a fascinating project and its cool to be able to see a true craftsman at work!

Cheers, Dewi

[Nobby Thomas]

Been called many things Dew, but Craftsman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a view like this, it’s hard to work sometimes!!

Nobby, you jammy git!

I love Weymouth. My auntie used to have a B&B there so I spent a lot of time down there until recently. I’ve probably walked past your house a few times on one of my many explorations of the town. I take it that’s the main harbour with Brewer’s Quay on the right. Good chipshop down there on the right!

craftsman is an understatment… brilliant as ever mate!

no wonder you cant keep your mind on your work mate… ide have trouble too if my street was flooded like that. man, & i thought scotland had bad weather! 😕

[Marekdlux]
