Would anybody be willing to sell an Ames lettering guide to me? Replies would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
They say you need to spend money to make money, well I've never made any money so by that logic I've never spent any.

I'll say again, that you don't need an Ames Guide -- it's just a means of ruling straight lines at regular intervals. You could just as easily take a ruler, make a small mark for the top and bottom of the line, another for the line-spacing, and repeat, then just rule the lines using a t-square.

Cheers!

yeh, that's what I've done I just put this up here because using one might be easier, but I've been what I've got.
Thanks.
