On any given sunday, we took the time to recharge the batteries and came up with something motivational for the shop. The decision was made that we needed to do some hand lettering, paint work and keep it under a couple of hours in actual time spent. With a huge project looming on the horizon that will require quite a bit of paint and massive scale for hand lettering, this was the perfect warm up project.
