Popular Post Rockytime Posted July 31, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I cut this little thing quite a long time ago. I ran across it recently. I tried painting it but can't do a good job. Too many hand tremors. But was fun anyway. Just made the frame today. frankorona, new2woodwrk, jbrowning and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Les, I used to work for a billboard company.It amazed me watching them mix colors and do painting . One day I asked one of the workers if he could put a name on a barn type mail box. I eagerly watched him start and noticed his hands shaking. It all stopped when he anchored his pinkie to the box. I'm sure you tried everyway .Everybody shakes different.Ilike the look!!! Rockytime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I certainly see nothing in that picture that looks like it was done by a shaky hand. The painting really brings it to life. Rockytime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember as a kid a sign painter would make his rounds to the small towns every year and do all the sign painting for everyone. I remember him coming to my dad's dental office to letter my dad's frosted glass office door. He had a thing he called a dop stick. It was about 18 inches long with a leather ball at the end which was the size of a golf ball. He would rest his wrist on the stick as he did the lettering. I've always been impressed with sign and show card painters. Some talented painters out there! amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McDonald Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 We lived across the street from a sign painter. His primary customer was the local Pepsi distributor. I remember sitting for hours watching Dan paint the names of restaurants and small grocery stores on advertising pieces. He taught me how to mix paint and tried to teach me to letter. (One worked, the other failed miserably). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
