Thank you for the kind words, David. I agree, a stencilling/sign making thread would be a good idea. Anyone can kick the thread off. I might do that myself, once I get the new rollers for the cutter, and actually have something for show and tell. I fear mail delivery may be like a watched kettle. It never boils, or in my case the package is painfully slow to arrive. In over 700 items purchased online, I have only lost one in transit. Bet the pinch rollers become number 2. You watch!

I wish the weather would get all the rain out of the way, then fine up. Been drizzling here, off and on, for the last.........well, roughly ever since I got my CMP wheels bck from the sandblaster.

So, with time on my hands, I started playing around with making designs on the graphics software. The above image was modified from a JPG file, so that it could be cut with my machine. Although it is not applicable for my trucks, I will print a couple of small copies when able. The combination of dead straight lines, sharp points, and long curves will show up any calibration and alignment issues with the cutter. Apologies that the two photos look like I took them through a screen door. It's the combination of computer screen and digital camera.

I just came across this 9th Division sign in my photos, so I'll have a go at tidying it up tonight.
