I ran across an interesting article from Australia. Seems a winery hires sight disabled folks to place the wine labels on the bottles, and they designed a jig to ensure proper front and back label placement. Thought I'd share it. If blind people can do it, maybe there's hope for me. http://www.visionaus...p...23&news=265

I used to put two labels on my bottles of wine. I couldn't get them to look right so I quit putting the back label on. Now I'm too lazy to put that much effort into the final product. If I ever get to the point that I want to start putting on front and back labels, I now know how to build a jig that will help get it right. Thanks!

God bless the guy in this pic, but by the looks of the finished bottles, the jig could use some refinement. Not that my labels are any better mind you. It's a tricky business.

For anyone looking for a labeling jig, look through the Step by Step thread pinned at the top of the kit forum. There is a simple (read 5 minutes to construct) jig pictured there.
