wish i made gold letter ones!!!! i'll check into it and see if Sandy can get some black painted over gold anodized aluminum blanks or could make some. i'll almost bet a buck she has some .020 material!!!
Now that may be of interest, "SD" Bill...
The gold "amber ish" chicken-head turned out to be dull gold and I'm not sure I'll go with that; splined shaft fitting - could have converted, but the colour doesn't go... anyone know of tru amber type - no luck finding yet...
Still work to be done, Robert... and yes, Buzz, she's back in her (mock) fur home,
not in the shed...
"Doc" Bill... the veneer is as much a curse as a thing of beauty - there are areas that look almost
scaly at some points, but to me, not in a bad way; I may get this out by further polishing, or by further top coats... not sure... one of our new guys (Dadagoboi) commented on the "two-foot rule", which she would pass with ease, but this is one of those "flaws" that I think I like, sort of "organic" for want of a better word... I pointed out months back that the veneer was "raw" so would not pass a "QC" check for a pro - it would get passed over as too much like hard work, to get "just... so..."
There is a part of me that remembers that birds are descended from reptiles, and with the colours looking so flame-like in sunlight,
Phoenix kinda fits...
I'll post pics of this
issue...
... and Henry, this is an eccentric kinda place, and the Brit's and eccentricity...?
