    Great Job man. I retired after doing this from my own shop for nearly 20 years. I called this stroke "speed brush" but it had several different names. There is nothing like a hand lettered sign, this vinyl lacks any emotion or personality and signs just look either dead or "cookie cutter" lettered. Long live the original hand strokers.

    Masterful! I was six when my dad took his truck to the local woman who lettered. She plopped down a stool and asked my dad what he wanted it to say. I watched in sheer shock at how she just so casually whipped it out before my eyes. I'll never forget that

    I remember as a young kid watching signwriters working on shop windows. The tricky bit was they were working on the inside painting the letters backwards, so they read right when you looked at the shop window from the outside. I always wanted to be a signwriter after watching them work. Instead I became an engineer.
