1st time i did anything like this

and i must say i'm rather pleased with the results hehe
i spent 3 months solid rubbing the old girl flat and then painting her and doing loads of work and the final touches was the names and writing etc
ppl who knew the boat before didn't believe it was the same boat

Don't let my craft robbo hear you say that Steve - it's done loads of jobs smaller than that with bits measuring about 2mm!
Love the quote mate - very deep.

it's the wife's favourite poem and seeing as we are both bible bashers it seemed quite appropriate when we wanted a name for the boat
she came up with that

we both have footprints wedding rings and all that stuff as well
sad hey hehe

Hi AdamB ,
Believe it or not these type of shirts are my bread and butter here. End of school term and 25 to 30 names on the back of each shirt, christian and surname. 25 to 30 shirts = around 900 names to weed. Drove me crazy but we were able to weed each print in half an hour and there was another smaller print for the front. Maximum price was 15€ each inc tax. Same as my competition.
Thats why I bought the DTG printer. And Im happy I did because yesterday an order came in for 91 names on 91 t-shirts. But I do have 3 weeks notice.
Vinyl I used was Stahls premium.
Earl.

Strangely enough the only time I've had to do the names ( 30 of them in a number 1 ) was for a boarding school in Munich last year.
