But worked off bladders on a plastic letter install today and suffering now....getting too old for this need to go part time maybe in 10 years when I turn 75 LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted March 23, 2014 I have sure spent my share of time working off ladders as well. Use a small roll around scaffold every chance I get. I'm not so sure about it being any faster to use but WAY easier on my 55 y/o back & knees! rlvied, I know what skill it takes to hand paint those letters over, is it block (?)... kudos.

rlvied 292 Posted March 23, 2014 I work off scaffold also but it was a pain in the butt trying to move it all the time so I finished it off the ladder. It will probably be the last one I do like that as it screwed with my back. Scarekrow it was a block building and not as bad as the stucco one that I had to do last summer. I bet steve doesn't get much work hand lettering Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet steve doesn't get much work hand lettering Do you do a lot of hand lettering? It looks really good..i have done a few computer generated patterns that I used a pounce wheel and pounce bag to outline and then paint I would make a real mess trying to freehand sorta like steves truck above. My neighbor for many years.....he has now passed on...was a sign maker and writer also a neon bender I was always amazed watching him paint a sign seemed like it was no effort at all for him to get perfect letters freehand.

rlvied 292 Posted March 23, 2014 Scott I try to do very little hand lettering maybe 1 or 2 a year. The ponce pattern was printed with my cutter and then done with the wheel. I would like to say I could do it free hand but I am not that good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
