  1. As mentioned, that looks absolutely flawless. What makes Jescar SS special? I use the SS that LMII sells, not sure of the brand. I definitely like SS over nickel because it wears so much better. But it hadn't occurred to me that there might be stainless steel and then there's Stainless Steel. SR
  2. We make graphics for some of the largest transportation fleets in the country. Literally every decal kit we've shipped to them over the last three years have included driver recruitment statements. Some of them are wrapping entire trailers with "come work for us" messages. SR
  3. I wondered if that was. I've made a couple necks out of that and love them. SR
  4. You've got one blank in there with no laminates. What is the timber and what made you decide against laminates on that particular piece? Change of pace? The timber itself? SR
  5. It's great to see the precision in progress! We know it's there, because we all see the precision in the finished product. SR
  6. This is another of those guitars that just look good enough to eat! SR
  7. Well you're off to quite a start. Puro porno. It's going to be a good year! SR
  8. Well I quite liked that! Cool video! SR
  9. Looks like it's dying to be played Muzz. Well done! SR
  10. If not don't sweat it. I've come to accept orange peel as just part of the process. The clear has to be leveled regardless and orange peel certainly makes it easy to see when you've leveled enough. SR
  11. That sounds like something Jeff Foxworthy might have said in one of his "you might be a redneck" routines. SR
  12. Do you have any Behlens Jet Spray or blush remover? It can knock down the orange peel for you. SR
  13. I think the creme works well, but am not so sure about the knobs. I s that what you were saying? While I admit that the creme sometimes can look striking, I usually default to black. Black goes with everything. SR
  14. This one is going to be absolutely gorgeous once polished up. SR
  15. Then that is the one you should pursue. Simple enough. SR
  16. Happy New Year Muzz! Still have a little over 12 hours to go here.... SR
  17. All opposites on the color wheel will make brown when combined. Note that every opposite on the color wheel is made up of a combination of the three primary colors which when mixed together makes brown. Interesting how when using pigments the totality of colors equals black and the absence of colors equals white. When using light the totality of colors equals white and the absence of color equals black. Because we can only experience color in the presence of light (a combination of reflection and absorption), we can never actually achieve black using pigments unless the pigments are black and even that is subjective--black always has a red shade or blue shade or green shade etc. subtle though it may be, And white always has a blue shade or yellow shade and so on. And the bottom line of that for our uses is that dark combination of opposite colors on the wheel for sandback produces cleaner dark areas in the contrast than using black pigments. That is due to the combination of the colors you chose--those opposites on the color wheel and the intensity (saturation--dye to solvent ratio) of dye applied--particularly the darkest one, and just as important, the amount of sandback you did. Very nicely done! SR
  18. Yeah, they really add to the look, don't they. They create a focal point and direct the eye to that point. SR
