I remember my first Chicago show 9 years ago a man was selling those stencils for $10 a piece
... had no idea at the time what they were for... they where thick heavy cardboard...
would be cool to make them out of a large piece of magnet they use for car signs. would stay
in place....

What I'll do is scan them at a higher resolution and send them to Jim.
He could then post it someplace where all could down load.... How would that be?
Weren't we gonna do something like that?.....

Nice book, Eric I would like to have that also.  If there is a cost for your trouble just let us know.  1.00 to 4.00 a gallon you gotta love that.  I pay 5.00 for 1/2 pint of lettering paint...Ahh the good ole days.
