couple of you asked how i did my printed signs for the old west buildings
so here goes nothing with a bit of a simple tutorial..

sounds simple dont it...well thats cos it is, If you get hold of some old
west style fonts (link below ) then have a hour or twos play around with
the styles and tools then its quite surprising what even a thicko IT novice
like me can make !

The fancier signs are done in the same way but by robbing pics off web
sites and loading them into photoshop and resizing them before printing
them off..

Fonts here ... zip file http://havenpics.woodmuffin.com/Fallow/Gutshot/fonts.zip

I`m glad that you showed how you done them, I have printmaster on one of my computers, and I love that for making my signs, but its a bit like me and upredictible, and when it deceides to play up, I can`t do my signs. Now you have given me the tools to be able to. Thanks Mousy, excellent stuff
