These are for my son's car; a '67 Firebird. I did the simple etching to begin with. He was thrilled with them. Then I decided to try my hand at a reverse etching on the rear and applying paint. The red is a glitter paint and really sparkles. It is hard for me to describe his reaction to this second set... BTW - if you have any tips for taking pics of mirrors, please share! Cal

Thanks for the kind words. Cal

Thanks handyman, Monkey - shame on you for parting with such fine classics! I bought this one when I was a kid about 40+ years ago. After my son & I did the restore I gave it to him. As for the technique on the back of the mirror, that was exactly what I did. Remember to reverse the image. It looks a lot better in person than in the pic... Cal

Thanks, fellas for the comments & tips. I like 'em all... edge, you made me doubt myself - even though I was using the pub's logo as my guide. I am going to say that the flag is correct, only that this doesn't represent a "whole" Union Jack, but rather a cropped version for the logo. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it... Cal

Thanks Rodger, Now if I ever get a web site I won't violate anything by putting it in my sig. If I ever get a sig... Cal

Super idea, thanks! Cal

Just curious, does this forum prevent you from having a link to your web site in your signature? I don't have a web site either, and as I read these responses it would be good if there was a link provided, without further searching, to see y'alls sites. Thanks, Cal

Prayers sent. Cal

Ted, Are you a regular customer of the massage shop? If you are, they ought to reciprocate; if not, maybe they are waiting for you to sneak in for a quick one (massage of course) first... Cal

Nice, OWJones needs to see this... Cal

+1 for Jordan's. Did you make the sign frame also? Nice work, nice style. Cal

Am I the only 1 who thinks hello kitty is strange. No, you are not. But, I have a niece who will probably get off on this. I will have to show it to her. Thanks xpaperman & jaybird. Cal

I just got my first machine (an SC) about 2 mo. ago. I use it with a Mac. So far, so good. I am not all that computer savvy, though... Cal

- at least if you know what a QR code is... Actually, no - I don't...

The banner looks super. Is this code for something? "pain to weed and wuite a few qr code prints going out!" Cal

Can't help with the cutter, but you might want to check your spelling on "wine". Looks like it should be "whine". C

Cajungal, why waste all that vinyl... I am jusst using the pen and wasting a lot of paper drawing stuff! I have cut out a few pieces, but I sure go through a lot of ink! Cal

I got that same SC about a month ago. You got a manual with yours? I am very happy with it so far, learning stuff every day. Cal

Thanks for the recommendation. Long time Joe Walsh fan, I will give 'em a listen. Cal

Thanks! Now I have another forum to lurk on also!!! Cal

What is "offset". I did a search of it but didn't come up with an explanation of what it is. Thanks, Cal

Slice & Dice, thanks for that tip regarding the SC. I just looked at mine that I purchased last month & it is same as you described. This tip may save me some frustration in the future. Cal

I recently purchased an SC cutter and hope to begin making a few bucks with it. I have been playing with it to learn how to use it and made my first cuts over the weekend. I then used the decal I made as a stencil and painted this tag for the front of my car. Yes, this one has several mistakes. We have to start somewhere. Comments welcome. Cal

No 340, a 318. It is a nice cruiser. Cal
