Signwriting Part 1 

I have learned a lot watching this vlog. Thanks for taking the time to make, post and share with us. I’m going to subscribe to your channel and even at 77 I hope to put into practice and use your lessons. THANK YOU for giving me the courage to try my hand at sign lettering. I have never had the patience before now, and I’m not so nervous as before. Again, much thanks for this vlog!!!

Thank you for sharing this!! I am a beginner so your talent is appreciated!!

Hi Well that was very good very interesting and the music was good to, many thanks

Hello from a fellow signwriter. This was so good to watch and brought back a lot of memories. I used to write coal & haulage lorries, bikes and gold leafing shop windows. It's been a while but I remember chalking up lorry doors and bonnets in cold garages in the middle of winter . The chiselled brush end brought bac a load of memories too!

That is one of the BEST tutorials I think I've ever seen your Lordship... Very relaxed, easy to follow, great explanations and VERY inspiring. You have a proper old school skill and should do more of this kinda stuff sir. I'd watch all of em.... Carry on.... 😁👍

Brave and fantastic. Painted graffiti for thirty odd years and never attempted that. Cheers fella.

Thank you for the inspiration from one sign writer to another Nice to hear all the sign writing terminology/talk trade names and stuff not heard that for a long time............I have been thinking about doing this myself (youtube) showing people computers and vinyl killed most of my business proper old school hand lettering jobs became scarce I never got into the vinyl originally I was a bit of a snob about it. I did give in eventually I had to. Thanks again good luck.

Thank you for sharing this It was very instructive, and beautifully filmed. It was all good but the tip about the baked bean tin paint holder was fantastic and oh so useful. Thank you once again and looking forward to part two Regards Chris

Not done any signwriting for years did quit a few pub signs back in the day but every one went to printed ones now find it very relaxing to to please do more loved doing old English my self took quite abit to master though proper job

Great skills. Carol was enjoying watching, she loves doing her Calligraphy when not out riding.

Great job. I enjoy doing the casual style of lettering. A good brush sure makes a difference.

Love the tin tip , efficiency in motion :)

You make that look so easy and some good music to go with it as well.

Beautiful letters! I've started doing a thing. I lay out the left side of letter with a thick brush and the finish of the right side with a very thin one. It's gives it a very funny balance. You should try it. It opens up whole new doors, in my opinion. I wish you a good Sunday. Thank you for the upload.

This was amazing content. I’m looking forward to part 2.

Thanks for the great video! And I really like the shape of the S.

I have an old cue cut to length, very comfortable to use with the slight taper.

Brill stuff Ian, you are a master.👍 just one problem……. I’m a left ukker! 🤦🏻🤪😁

Looking for more info on the brushes, and which would be best for sign painting on glass

Mornin' yer Lordship 👍

Your handiwork looks great. Bro I am a Bangladeshi I have 10 years of experience as a sign writer. I am in 3D. neon sign letter sign I can work on painting. Can I work in America, can I do any writing work by hand. Can you help me? I will be happy if you tell me

Awesome 👍

Great skill my brain 🧠 and hands just don't communicate to that level..

Nice one 😁

What we call that stick?

Thanks for the video! What material are you painting on please?

This is really interesting Ian, being a lefty, I wonder how many leftys do this, does the rest work the other way round? I struggle with just writing neatly, I'd have no hope at this, quite a talent you have! :-)

What type of brush ? Series?

Were’s the small K

Can you use a stick this for water color lettering?

Thought this lesson was for beginners ?

D E F G almost touching each other he never controlled the spacing.

Hi good morning

"A" looks so small. Others keep growing.

Missing a foocin K 😅

I say sir,Hines tins please 🤣

Whats all this FREEHAND style -?-not everyone has 40 yrs experience in freehand signwriting ==only for experts --NOT for beginners !

Waiting to part2

Not sure I’d have the patience!

Recommended signwriters diet for smooth work, Baked Beans and Ambrosia Rice.

I think you missed the lowercase k.

Oh wow ! Brilliant - that's the type style I have been wanting to see 👏 Masterfully done - Thanks ✌

The really nice thing about hand-painted lettering -- to me -- is, if it's not perfect and/or has little mistakes in it, that's just *character*! That's what you want to see, the human touch! If it was meant to be perfect, it'd have been printed on vinyl or something (...and then probably stuck on wonky anyway.)

This is seriously advanced technique ------NOT PART ONE but part 20 !

Great video . I’m a beginner so appreciate the effort you put into the videos. Can I ask what happens when someone makes a mistake? I keep messing up halfway through a word and no idea how to fix things without scrapping everything and starting again.

It’s amazing to watch. I’d be terrible at it. Thinking of which do you ever come across many left handed sign writers?

Good day Ian thanks for showing us mere peasant how to do the old art of sign writing I have done a little myself on a old Bowtop caravan but never done letters that’s a fine art and I will be watching with a keen eye something I would like to do great skills Ian

Interesting your Lordship . You know your stuff .

Loving the dark art of bean tin opening ;)
