CMC McLaren Shirt
Completed last thing Friday. I think i'm improving with the Gunnar since the training.
Nielson Baninbridge white top mount.
Neilson Bainbridge black base mount.
Has same frame as the Maradona shirt (although not seen in this picture).
Base and top mount have Gunnar pen tool work.
Took best part of all day from stretch to design to completion.

Re: CMC McLaren Shirt
I quite enjoy seeing these! So I would say feel free to keep posting, but possibly under one thread rather than many ( I think would keep forum cleaner!!)
especially as I have a Gunnar and am always looking for inspiration!
Just wondering out of curiosity - if that took all day...what was the retail cost?
Keep up the good work!!!:)

Re: CMC McLaren Shirt
As of the minute... not sure (cost that is) the client has13 shirts like this. I have no in put regarding the sale side. I just mount.
Took most of the day as we have two mounters here and I have to step away from the machine to allow him to cut what he needs before I carry on the design.
If worked on it flat out, no interruptions ... I'd say about 4 -5 hours.
And thank you.

Re: CMC McLaren Shirt
No one would suggest that anyone is coming across as showing off. This section of the forum could easily be called the "inspiration section".
It's a great place to exchange ideas and improve on them as well, through feedback and tips frome others. Also a chance to say "well done". We all need a little feel good factor and encouragement from one another at times, so why not?
BTW, It's a really nice job too!

Re: CMC McLaren Shirt
Nice one Ben
I love the rounded inner corners of the top mount aperture, not so easy for me to do on my Keencut!

That is nice and I reckon the punters need to see the up lift in price for something that detailed and creative. If you sell that cheap, 1 - you will devalue yourself and the framing world. 2 - You will ruin it for all of us who do not have access to the creative wizardry of CNC machines.
If has got to be a £299 piece?

Re: CMC McLaren Shirt
Deepjoy,
I haven't a clue what the boss has charged. I've done 13 shirts of this type of level in the mount work.
I fear he hasn't charged anywhere near as much as he should.
