Thanks Mike! I put up a discussion over at MIMF and I was thinking that wouldn't make a bad T-shirt. Maybe I'll get some inks and make one. :P

I just finished inlaying the heel cap and shot some nitro that had set out in the sun in a jar for about a year to age it.
I knew those Ivory piano keys would come in handy some day. I think I like it. Better then that off center strap button.
There's a spot I need to touch up with a brush that the tape covered.

Chris,
It's fascinating to see the great repairs you've done. The guitar was a real POS when
you got it. Now it's looking fantastic. Wonderful work bliss

Yo Chris...

'next time don't be the messing with hand cut stencils.

Just take a pic or a file of the design in jepg format to a vinal sign shop.

Ask them to cut the design in a vinal with a non aggressive (soft or mild or not strong) adheasive and to weedout the positive as you wnna use it as a stencil.

Also talk them up about how to get it on to the back of the instrument for spraying.

Shouldent cost too much....especialy if they use a colour of vinal that is not poplular in signalge and they just wanna get rid of.

blessings
duh
Padma


ps Hows the carving going?
