I have been thinking for a while of asking one of the scrollers here if one of you would mind/like to make me a sign I can display at craft fairs. I'd be looking for something with about 3in lettering to say TOP CAT WOODCRAFTS . Probably made from thin ply and mounted on a block so it could sit on a table. If anyone here fancies doing this please pm to discuss how much. There's no rush as I'll need to build my stock up over the first few months of next year but I'd like to know if this is something I can afford. :thumbs:

Search through the forums Ray, somebody was offering that service a while back but my memory won't let me think who it was.
I seem to think it was linked with the York do.

Cowboy was offering to do scrolled signs at the York do, but I believe events in his personal life took over.
My work life recently, has been a case of point the fan at Neil, and defecate in its general direction! He'll deal with it!
Hopefully this will be sorted soon after Christmas. One of the jobs that I'm currently trying to fit in to my 3 days at the school has finally been advertised. If some one is daft enough to take this on, I will be back to my normal job and finally be able to catch up on some of the work that has already been promised. Apologies to those that are patiently waiting.:goesred:

If you can give me some idea of what you want Ray, I can laser cut you the lettering in 3mm ply, but can't give you a final price until the new boss starts in the new year. She is an unknown quantity!
You will be on a list though!
Regards,
Neil

Neil, many thanks for the kind offer. I am looking more for something like Cowboys photo, something that looks hand crafted as I imagine laser etched lettering to look less so. :thumbs:
