Custom neckplate

Shout out to LMS too - been good people the times I've deal with em. Nice advertising.

Yip, very cool peeps. Chris is a stand up guy, he was a great help to me... :icon_thumright:

Alright peeps, got the old girl running....Bart my friend, yours was the guinea pig.... :toothy10:

 

[Cagey]

Cool!

A bit of criticism on the plate's font design, though. I appreciate a bizarre font as much as anybody, but that one goes too far. You have to stare at it for 5 minutes to figure out what that first word is. If there hadn't been a picture of a black dog above it, I'd probably have never got it. The upper section of the letters is just way too short. Almost looks like cutting defects rather than deliberate features. But, maybe it's just the angle the picture is shot at. Need to see a full-face view to get the total effect, I'm sure.

It's mostly the angle of the pic, but there's also a line missing in the "B". Didn't notice it until I took the pic. But it's been corrected. I don't criticize the design, I just give 'em what they want to the best of my abilities... :icon_biggrin:

 

[Cagey]

I sorta figured that about the design.

So, how do you like the machine? Is it behaving nicely for you? Are you happy with it?

 

[Jusatele]

Nice doug
:icon_thumright:
I really like that you got it under control and are able to do these all inhouse now

Ya da' man Doug  :headbang1:
That plate looks killer and just as expected. 
I am honored to be the guinea pig, though I am really more of a test rat...
I think you need to start putting serial #'s on the backside.  Any idea how many plates you have cranked out up to this point  :dontknow:

Sorry your unhappy Cagey, but it really is related to the angle.  Here is the frontal artwork.  Anyway, I love it...  :headbang1:

 

  :rock-on:

 

[Cagey]

No need to apologize. And you're right - that does look a lot better from the front view. You can read it immediately without any trouble.

Thanks Bart, no idea how many I've done. I lost track at 100, but I do know who has #1...Serial numbers would have been cool, but it's kinda moot at this point... :dontknow:

Nice doug

Thanks Jim, yes it's much more relaxing at home.... :laughing7:

Love the machine, had a few hurdles, but got them sorted out. Yes I'm very pleased... :headbang1:

 

[DangerousR6]

A better shot, kinda fuzzy, but you get the idea... :icon_biggrin:

 

[Cagey]

That's more like it. Nice job.

 

[Stew]

yup, another beauty Doug ... congrats on getting the new machine up and running  :icon_thumright:

I bet with the right bit and some time on the computer you could get that baby cranking out stuff like this: http://www.eldoradostraps.com/products4.htm

Hey Doug

Do you do black plates and bass plates (and black, bass plates  :laughing7: ) ?
