I wish ken,,I know im fit and not ready for the knackers yard yet but sometimes being a mechanic is a young guys game,,dont get me wrong I still love it after 33yrs at it and given a few years might even get good at it lol. This is forward planing, if im clapped out and knackered im hoping I can teach my grandson about it all as he grows up, and he can get the kit to make a business out of it or carry on mine,carols grandson jordan who is 8 helps me do it now and again and does well with doing the mugs. Trying to work out new cutting software today .

When we retire it is great to have hobbies that can potentially create a little income. Alternatively it is just something you enjoy on cloudy, rainy days. I really like the design on your drum and also the Giant head mug. I must admit though that I had to look up "knackers" and the term "clapped out" was new to me as well.

Lol,,,for reference,,the knackers yard,was term use when old horses were put to sleep and made into glue,and clapped out refers to physically and mentally worn out that doing anything is a heavy chore..
The drum vinyl was my first attempt at a twin colour design,this was for the pipe band I played for,,,im back there learning to play the chanter then hopefully the bagpipes,,in middle of designing stickers to go on the windows of members cars just now.

well that has been an epic battle to get it hooked up to my computer,,even though the info was good supplied by company,,,how come the easiest thing they could do was make it plug and play and they don't piggin hours trying to get it to link,,,done now...the software is a pain as well,,over complicated....artcut 2009......im using inkscape to make the vinyl graffics but importing it is proving annoying. new vinyl sticker designed for guys in the band for there cars,,will reverse image so it can be stuck inside car window
