They look great...

I've tried the vinyl lettering and clearing over it and it all bubbled up and had to remove it all and the clear,, made a mess... but wanted to give it a go once.

I usually have them hand lettered by a sign painter and will continue to do that as I like the full look of that better... the vinyl is just a little too skinny in spots and looks like it doesn't fit on the lettering just right.

This is somewhat self indulgent, but I am starting to make a bit of progress and when I ask the wife what she thinks I get one of those "yes dear, thats very nice" looks.  So I thought I would throw up a couple pics to a more interested audience.  I spent the last two evenings trying to remember how bottle stacks get reassembled.  Got the 81 stack put back together last night and the 56 stack the night before.  Fortunately they are basicly carbon copies of each other so only had to solve once and then repeat.  My 9 year old likes puzzles so we sat down and figured it out together.  He's pretty sure his contribution gives him ownership rights. biggrin
