Very nice - did you use the Trend lettering kit ? I've done a few nameplates recently,but just routed the letters freehand (after copying the text in a font that I liked).

Hi Mate

Yes used the Trend stencil kit , it gives good results , also painted the letters in black , then painted the bottom of each letter in gold , so now it over to the varnish , should look good when finished

This is the baot they are going on , Have changed the name to TIZARD

Nice. Why TIZARD? Does it mean something?

" 'Tis'ard " to sail it, maybe?

did i say that out loud

couldn't resist

Love the nameplates BTW. The top one is my fave, but if the plate were 'tother way round, or 'upside down' if you see what i mean. That way it would fit the shape of the boat nicely under the rail.

Hi , I needed a name that was appropriate

Needed to be nautical / local / and humerus

So , there is a Tizard bank ( Sand bank ) in the Lower Thames so that covers nautical and local

Tizard , well I will leave that to your imagination :wink:
