Hi all,

Been lurking here a few days, so thought it was time to say hi. I ended up here in frustration. I've been trying to find reliable suppliers of merchandise both for my company and for an internet forum I've run for some time now. Encountered a lot of really expensive sellers and an awful lot who are big on talk, but very short on action! Seriously, I have the money - don't they want it :frown:

So I had this seemingly mad idea the other day to see if this is something I can actually do myself. Reading through this fantastic site, I'm coming to the opinion that it may just be possible, and I am really impressed with the quality of work the members here produce. It's a little off the reservation for me being an I.T. guy, but I have plenty of time on my hands right now while waiting for my next contract to start.

Mainly looking at stickers, t-shirts, mugs & caps for now - but since being on here my list of things I want to offer has grown considerably :wink: The thought that I can customise the items quickly & easily is also really appealing.

If I can make this viable, I will probably buy the kit and get my sister to do the artistic stuff. She got all the artistic genes in the family, I got the useless technology ones instead...

Cheers, Gary

Well, all my family is artistic except for me who is the tech wiz. All I can say is I found enough on here to get myself started with a mug press and whilst away at the weekend came back with a secondhand tee-shirt press. It needs a bit of rust removal and a clean but I have high hopes it will do the job. It is unlike any I have seen on here, the bottom plate is fixed, the heated plate is raised and lowered using a side 'crank' shaped handle and whilst in the up position it slides backwards away from the bottom plate. Well it is my weekend restoration project :wink:
Anyway welcome to the forum

Welcome, I have lived in Wiltshire when I was a child, lovely area, I have fond child hood memories. My mother swore blind she saw a flying saucer and I believed her. I think it might have been the whisky. You have come to the right place and may your projects go well
