I should probably mention here that this BB is not restricted to Hand Lettering, but also to the additional topics of sign making, fabrication, design, Letterheads, sign books, and other related topcs.

Since I made this post the other day, I started a few Signmaking 101 posts to let people get a feeling of what would be nice to see here. The sign trade covers a lot of ground and a lot of skills.

I could visualize posts on additional topics such as:


Paint additives
Sharpening router bits
Chisels and sharpening tools
Table saws and other power tools
Wood panel lamination
Wood glues and clamps
Wood finishes
Sign Hangers, straps, hooks, etc.
Pinstriping
Airbrushing
Wood Carving
Wall dogging
Ladders, scaffolds, walkboards, ladder jacks, etc
Glass etching, gilding, chipping, etc.
Pen and ink tools
Interesting magazines
Glazes
Faux finishes (marble, granite, wood)
Projectors
Woodworking jigs
Nifty, time saving tools
Marketing tools and techniques
General tips and time savers
Screen printing for small shops
HDU techniques, paints, primers, finishes
HDU carving and milling
Calligraphy techniques, tools, supplies


While focus of this site isn't computers, we all use them. I could back posts about:

File management
File back up strategies and techniques
