Not that it matters, to me.....But let me give you another perspective....
In over 45 years, that I have been part of this trade, as a sign painter, I had never seen anything like this. So, I guess that seeing this, highly skilled, man's work really impressed me so much that it made me feel like sharing the event with the rest of you guys.
Simply, because this man's skill with that Dremmel is relevant to what we do in our trade, with our own hands.
On the other hand, I do not remember, ever, having been this impressed, at all, by one single vinyl job.

It wasn't the Dremel tool that created the art, it was the man. And I've seen some beautiful vinyl signs, and I've seen some crappy hand painted signs. It's the artist that makes the difference not the method.
You have no one to blame but yourselves David. It was sign painters who first started buying vinyl cutters. What if the sign painters would have just said no to the machines?

That's pretty impressive. It's the artist, not the tool, that does the work. If you turned me loose with the Dremel, you'd have seen something reminiscent of what Steve Martin did to that car in The Jerk.

Ha, I used to love to doodle in every class in school and my teachers used to walk by showing more interest as the years went on...when I got the fine tip markers it was so much fun, but I have to say that I haven't owned a dremel and keep pricing them. A classmate in high school brought his piano front into class and worked on beautiful designs for months later inviting a few of us over to hear some fantastic music when he put it back on his piano.
