25.01.2022 When my customers are happy, I'm happy too.

22.01.2022 Welcome to the Authentic Nameplates Facebook page. I will try to make this an interesting page and hope you will too. For more information please visit my webpage at www.authenticnameplates.com.au

22.01.2022 The Australian Prime Minister's official home in Sydney is Kirrabilli formerly kiarabilli, meaning 'good fishing spot'. The residence known as The Lodge is located in Canberra.

22.01.2022 Another satisfied customer in Rod & Sheryl. I'm happy when my customers are happy.

21.01.2022 Australian pop icon Ian 'Molly' Meldrum found the original name of his house was Luxor. Quite a coincidence considering his pet hobby is collecting Egyptian artifacts and Luxor is an Egyptian city.

20.01.2022 The movie, The Eye of the Storm, featuring Geoffrey Rush and Judy Davis, screened on the ABC tonight. I had totally forgotten that they had commissioned me to make a nameplate for the movie.

20.01.2022 Thanks goes to 3AW for our little chat earlier. The phone has been busy since, as yes, both Peter Hitchener and Denis Walter both remembered me, hopefully for the right reasons.

20.01.2022 Today at 12:45 I'll be talking with Denis Walter and Peter Hitchener on 3AW 693 about house names. Please tune in and see what happens. http://www.3aw.com.au/deniswalter

20.01.2022 Here is a segment taken from the Nine Network's 'Our House' show with Shirley Strachan and me having fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB1zPTYe-Zg&feature=youtu.be

19.01.2022 A photo from another satisfied customer. Thank you S.T. of Somerville.

17.01.2022 And today we have an oldie sent in by a return customer who has changed addresses.

16.01.2022 Well we have spent a couple of days setting up some promo shots for a November issue magazine, and this is what we came up with.

14.01.2022 I can't be sure what category I fall into.

13.01.2022 Just finished is the new sign for my old music buddy, Maz and Geoffrey for the place down Gippsland way. Hope you all like it.

13.01.2022 Thanks to all the newbies who have hit the like button this week. Nice to have you on board.

12.01.2022 Bill was very happy with this one and shared his photo with us. I used different punches on this one which made it look a little different.

12.01.2022 After 26 years I will cease making nameplates at the end of May. 'Twas a great journey indeed to be able to make something nice for people and knowing that my plates will still adorn homes in many years to come. At this stage there is no one to carry on the tradition, so again, it will be lost in time. A huge thanks to all my wonderful customers who were the sole purpose of me making my nameplates.

12.01.2022 The story behind the house name SHANGRI-LA: It was taken from the 1933 story 'Lost Horizon' by English novelist, James Hilton, where the setting is Shangri-La, a Tibetan valley of ideal perfection. the U.S. presidential retreat in rural Marylands, known as 'Camp David' was originally named Shangri-La by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942. It was renamed in 1953

12.01.2022 The home, Barwon Park, in Winchelsea, Victoria was once home to the Austin family. Elizabeth was known for her contributions that became the Austin Hospital and Thomas's passion for hunting brought about the introduction of rabbits to the state.

11.01.2022 I made this sign for my client and I must apologise for taking so long. I guess it's binnawoil.

09.01.2022 My last sign ever folks. No.5080. And now to empty the workshop. Sniff sniff.

09.01.2022 After 26 years, Authentic Nameplates will close its door. As the business has not sold, it looks like this art form will again die. C'est la vie.

08.01.2022 In 2005 I made a series of nameplates for an Aussie film, Eucalyptus, starring Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman. After my account was settled, the movie was canned amidst rumours of script problems and on set fall-outs.

06.01.2022 I get a few requests to give my signs an aged look and it seems that this finish might fit the bill. What do you think?

06.01.2022 I'm as busy as an elf at Christmas, but I did get time to make a sign for Deb and Graham who were thrilled with their nameplate. Thanks guys.

06.01.2022 There were no bells, no streamers, no champagne corks popping as I was just too busy producing sign number 5000. At least I reached this milestone before retirement.

05.01.2022 Look what chef, Guy Grossi has next to his front door.

04.01.2022 In 1888, Alexander McCracken built a house at the highest point of Essendon known as North Park. He joked about the fact that if he stood on the roof of his house, he could see his brother's house, Earlsbrae Hall, in Moonee Ponds. Both buildings still stand today.

04.01.2022 I thought it was time to add a new letter style to the range. What period do you think it suits?

02.01.2022 Sometimes they look old and rustic and sometimes they gleam.

02.01.2022 Introducing a new design to my range; the 'Toulouse' which has Art Nouveau influences. Paris, you have a lot to answer for.

01.01.2022 I have been spiffing up the showroom over the last couple of days. It looks like I work there now. Do you think it's presentable?
