Hi out there in Letterville, it's Herb Martinez. I have been invited to teach and stripe in Johannesburg, So. Africa and, during my research, I have found very little information about anyone who sells 1Shot, Mack Brushes, or does any hand lettering at all. Can some of you shed some light on this subject? I know we are in the "digital age" but this is ridiculous that the trade could have completely died out. Please contact me with any info at: linedr@comcast.net

All I can tell you is that we had a visit from a sign company owner from South Africa years ago and he was here to buy equipment for his several sign companies. He came to our shop just to see the old Gerber 4B when it was just out, he wanted to see it in operation. Bill

Mack brushes have their own website: www.mackbrush.com There is a hand lettering forum, but there are still plenty here who hand-letter- I guess we don't have as many questions or problems as often as perhaps the 'electronic letterers' do!
I'd be happy to come out & demo what you want if you pay the airfare! (I was born in Pietermaritzburg!)
