A thought occured to me when using the sticker machine at school:

Why not use it to make personalised canopy writing instead of the standard Mamod one? All writing is in standard Microsoft fonts. I can make them to order, for a small donation to the technology department I need at least ten orders, but all will need to be in the same colour, so vinyl isn't wasted

I like the idea and I'd buy some from you. How about canopy stickers that say. Geoffrey Malins, Birmingham or something like Malins and Sons, Birmingham.

I'm sure others would have some great ideas.

Definitely, I'll check that it's ok with my tech teacher first. As I said, ten orders or more. PM me with what you want them to say

Maybe you could ask them MTA? The ones on "Rosa" are starting to look cracked

In our school most of the machines are never used which is a shame as they have all this computer aided machinery but they never use the lathes ect

same here, as the main emphasis is on woodwork rather than metal work. Out of the twenty five years the school has owned a Milling Machine, I was the first, and still am, person to use it!
