I’ll email the folks at Casio!

5% of sales… design fee…

Spent the day gilding prints with 23ct gold leaf and have only realised now how much has stuck to the rubber and plastic of my new watch, don’t think it will last but looks great now.

Got this as an alternative to my paint splattered GD-350 and it is so much smaller and neater. Really like it.

Thanks mate, have actually just found a solution of using a second hand part, a saw and re-tapping some threads.

Anyone know any metal fabricators that would do a small job?

I am looking for a cost to fabricate a 1435mm length of 40mm mild steel round bar with drilled and threaded holes on each end face for M12 bolts. Its to attach an "arm" to my print bench.

Proving harder than I thought to find someone that could do it.

Dial printing was talked about on here a while back. Have just seen this, a nice video of one of the ways it’s done

Nah, it’s a Forstner komfit JB. The one sanctioned by NASA for use on the manned space missions back in the day.

Super lightweight and comfortable, if a little fiddly to get fitted at the beginning.

Happy Friday Everyone.

Haven’t worn this in months, I missed it!

Have a great weekend!

I did my printing apprenticeship in T-shirt screen printing.

Any questions give me a shout, happy to help where I can

Finally got a chance to see what was flying above all week, a typhoon at 1200ft doing loops and twists. Amazing to see!

Flying above us for about 30mins like a private airshow

Not showing anything other than a Hercules going at about 1000ft every 10mins.

@Leshaches from the pitch changes of the engines it sounds like they are doing similar above us now, haven’t seen them yet though. Assume it’s F15s from the US base

Is there a better app for military plane tracking than Flightradar24?

In Norfolk and it’s driving me nuts hearing and not seeing all the planes going about there business above.

If anyone is interested I am doing a Pop-Up shop in Leytonstone on the 5th-7th of April.

Going to be selling old screen printed editions, painted signs and stuff from my studio for (what I think is…) cheap.

Also going to be making a gilded sign over the weekend.

Address is No1, east entrance of Leytonstone underground station, Church Ln, Bushwood, London E11 1HE

@pifko I don’t really know anyone that does lettering at that scale.

Seb Lester is the best lettering artist out there for that but not sure he does commissions

Searching instagrams # might be a good place to go, lots of very talented folks there that would I am sure love a commission

Got some deals on Instagram of some of my sample things if anyone is keen

@mansonspress is the instagram handle, info is in the stories/a reel I think

Ah cheers

Truth is that was over a years (!!) work as Dave is such a perfectionist. Should have been 6 printed layers and two gilded, ended up being 15+ and a whole load of back and forth.

It is super difficult to do an edition of 25 of something for people who only ever make one of what they make. The parameters of perfection have to be different when you are doing something 25times and that was a speed bump in production process.

Moved house and thought I better practice what I preach.

A painted and gilded transom that has the original name of the house (WOODSTOCK) from 1908 (I found it on the deeds. Every house on the estate was named apparently) as well as gilding to the glass work on the door from 1908 that has brilliant cut “glory stars” on it.

Also done a neighbours (BIRCHDALE) who dropped past to ask about it. Would love to do more of this stuff locally.

I have the 2007 version. Bloody love it!

Picked this up on Tuesday from the loft it has been stored in since my old man passed away 7 years ago.

Wound it and it has been running -1min per day since. Definitely won’t have been serviced in the last 30 years. Remarkable really!

From what I can find it dates circa 1890 and is from the the Ansonia Clock Company in the states.

Painting a sign the other day I dropped some enamel paint on my gshock… thought in for a penny in for a pound and splattered it.

Wore it to an exhibition launch yesterday and it got more attention than any of my other watches have ever got.

Wow! Those are absolutely beautiful!!

Do you cut the panels from glass sheets? Could a design be gilded on to a glass panel then cut up and make a mirror ball from them?

Would I know your work/Any photos of your stuff?

I give myself 0.6mm registration overlap when I screen print but often have to print lines that are 0.08mm and so that becomes the tolerable error.

Finest I have successfully gilded is ~0.1mm but the line struggles to really hold.

I am dyslexic @edmundro and so I used to spend so long writing in school and it was all bullshit so I figured it might as well be pretty.

I see letters as shapes rather than letters, means my misses has to spellcheck everything before I start, I have to send her photos from site and everything!

Peter Lindbergh can do that sort of thing
