Good afternoon Foxes. What a stunningly handsome boat, your choice of font and the execution is absolutely perfect, as is the overall colour scheme. Simply put, the whole build is an example of impeccable taste. Congratulations once again.
It'a not so much a signature as it is a statement of elegance. I think you hit it right on the mark, I can't think of anything that would better describe the elegance of the entire project.
I was holding my breath the whole time he was painting...in awe of his talent. You two should be so incredibly proud of yourselves, you've made the perfect choices all along and so much love has gone into this exquisite narrowboat...much love!
Perfect font for the boat. I love the fact that it is done by good old fashioned methods using years of practice and skill. Sums up the workmanship throughout the boat.
I spent 30 years in the print and sign making business and Rob Wagg is brilliant. Your decision to use a simple script is equally brilliant. Allowing enough negative space to highlight the name is just good design.
Absolutely beautiful work! She’s such a classy looking boat... and your artist Rob did a great job... the script font is like the rest of the boat, classy and simple... a great compliment to the rest of your design
I personally like the clean cut simple uncluttered modernist style a very personal choice you have chosen to create this beautiful boat may you both have the happiest of times onboard silver fox 🦊 🌈 🤍
I’m amazed by all the talented artisans whose work has created your narrow boat Silver Fox. I am impressed by the level of commitment and craftsmanship thru your whole build.
Thank you for the shot of Rob's artist's "tackle" box. It is the container for both the artist's tools of his trade and the artist's heart. Like Felix the Cat's bag of tricks--they help to make the magic happen.
Your narrow boat is so elegant and classy, the lettering is perfect! We hope you two enjoy your life on Silver Fox. Rob and I have a fifth wheel RV here in the US and enjoy our time in it during the summer months. We are looking forward to spending more time traveling the country when we retire in a few years.
Your honest sharing of the ups and downs is so refreshing and uplifting. So happy to share even a small portion of your lives, so rewarding to me. How about some history of how you two met, how long you been together on this adventure. All the juicer details. Love the channel and am constantly sharing your ventures with my friends. Keep up the series. May your battles be less and your understanding be greater. Thank you for your time and sharing. Lenny
Amazing signwriting and great choice of font. I wish these skilled craftsmen, would start training an apprentice, skills like Rob Waggs are going to be lost, hope he has a trainee or is considering one. In all skilled work, be it Sign writing, painting, engineering, we need to get the young ones in and learning a trade.
Two years of art school and I can't fit Happy Birthday on a cake. This is beautiful! I just started to watch, but I'm fascinated and can't wait to see where you are in 2022!
What an artist, the best part for me is the black in black silverfox on the roof. Briljant idea and posh / cleaver. If you look to future video’s you can see that the little black line does a lot to the boat. You both got style
Very classy sign, subtle and stylish, modern and very in league with the boat. What a very talented guy Rob is, the boat looks fantastic guys you must be proud. All the best Stevie
Signwriters - A Trade you do not see very much nowadays but Rob's work is amazing and Silver Fox looks really good on the Silver Paintwork. Another excellent video Lads. ❤
Great sign writing by yet another craftsman passionate about and dedicated to his work. So nice to see in these days of mass produced shoddy goods! The boat is beautiful.
Foxes Afloat.....something very relaxing to watch. Rob is very talented. All our lorries in a fleet of around 60 had one man come in and sign write. Was so mesmerising to watch. Glad to see it hasn’t died it’s death. 👍
I have to say she is a really lovely looking boat lads, I think that font looks perfect, it really is artwork when it's done so well isn't it, and they make it look easy😂😂
Beautifully done, fits the style of the boat. Before she goes into the water, could you do a slow pan around her? She actually looks like she should be in a museum. Thanks.
Wow again that guy is amazing and a lefty like me !! lol . I love your attention to this boat almost like a child you have nurtured it it is so beautiful watch and you feel the love care and attention Silver Fox has had from creation . x
C&S so happy for you both and the joy you have brought to us all as you have taken us along on this incredible journey. Looking forward to Launch day... all the best....
Hi guys WoW that sign writing on your narrowboat looks really professional Great work and like you said perfect for your floating home. Enjoying your vlogs as always, Good luck and stay safe. John.
We just re-watched this episode as we’ve just contacted Rob to paint our name, now we just have to be patient to wait for the boat to be finished and keep the name secret until then!
I was fascinated by a man who wears masking tape on his right wrist, and then I realised...he’s left handed! A true artist so many say. Awesome Rob 🎨👍 Thanks again as always guys 🥰🥰
Yes, I think you’ve got it right, tastefully understated. Are you going to paint the back end in red and white, as appears to be the custom. Don’t waste too much time painting the boat, or you’ll never get it into the water. All the best
Great choice and here's why, if you decide to add to it later, you can, or not that is a future option. (Maybe a couple of foxes playing hide and seek and chasing each other around the boat). Really looking forward to the launch day (almost wrote lunch, time for something to eat i think). The greatest form of sophistication, is simplicity.
Truly a real artist at work there. It takes immense knowledge and skills to properly envision, draw, kern as necessary, and finally, apply the paint. That combined artistry is nearly lost today. Amazing effort. And although technically his art "belongs" to him, you may wish to consider registering the design as a trademark. Bravo from here in Canada!!
I know this is history now but I'm finding this vlog intensely emotional....the talent, the music, the realisation of a dream....just wow lads.
WOW! Thank you, Jeremy x
Unbelievable talent
👍🏻
Good afternoon Foxes. What a stunningly handsome boat, your choice of font and the execution is absolutely perfect, as is the overall colour scheme. Simply put, the whole build is an example of impeccable taste. Congratulations once again.
Thanks, Jon. That means so much :) xx
Why would anyone not like this video ? A pure artist at work,Chris
We don’t really take much notice of the dislikes, but maybe a jealous signwriter 😂
It'a not so much a signature as it is a statement of elegance. I think you hit it right on the mark, I can't think of anything that would better describe the elegance of the entire project.
Exactly! Thanks, Dean. xx
I was holding my breath the whole time he was painting...in awe of his talent. You two should be so incredibly proud of yourselves, you've made the perfect choices all along and so much love has gone into this exquisite narrowboat...much love!
Wow, Patricia, thank you! We do love her. Just counting down the last few days before launch now :) x
The sign writer is AMAZING! Thank you for letting Foxes Afloat record your artistic process. Loved this video!!
Typographical perfection executed by a true craftsman. Silver Fox has indeed been signed off. 👌
Perfect font for the boat. I love the fact that it is done by good old fashioned methods using years of practice and skill. Sums up the workmanship throughout the boat.
Yeah, true master at his art 👍🏻
I spent 30 years in the print and sign making business and Rob Wagg is brilliant. Your decision to use a simple script is equally brilliant. Allowing enough negative space to highlight the name is just good design.
Thanks, Bill!
Wow! I'm very impressed with Rob's steady hand. You chose such a classy script that is perfect and really compliments your color scheme.
Yeah, we're really pleased with the result. x
Absolutely beautiful work! She’s such a classy looking boat... and your artist Rob did a great job... the script font is like the rest of the boat, classy and simple... a great compliment to the rest of your design
Thanks, Marie. We totally love it :) x
This whole project is amazing. A joy and honor you two have opened your family and hearts to this incredible journey.
Hi Richard. Thank you so much! I hope you stay with us for the launch :) xx
I personally like the clean cut simple uncluttered modernist style a very personal choice you have chosen to create this beautiful boat may you both have the happiest of times onboard silver fox 🦊 🌈 🤍
Wow, thank you!
The font is perfect. 👍🏻. What a classy design ion all of Silver Fox’s parts. 🌺🌸
Thank you, Chris 🙏❤️
Amazing how often there’s beauty in simplicity! Rob’s Artistry still shows and the boat is better for it. Great choice!
Thanks. We knew we wanted Rob to do the job but we just took forever choosing the design 😂
Beautiful, clean, crisp, classy 👍👏👏👏👏❤️
...and the boat? 😉 xx
I can't wait to see her launch day vid. What a statement in elegance. Enjoy the weekend!
You won’t have to wait too long, Carolyn! xxx
I'm so happy!!!! Watching your joy and journey has been so fun.
It's a lot of fun just to see how much fun you guys are having! Elegance personified!!
He he... it’s so much fun! Thanks, Kelly 👍🏻 x
I’m amazed by all the talented artisans whose work has created your narrow boat Silver Fox. I am impressed by the level of commitment and craftsmanship thru your whole build.
Yeah, some amazing talent out there 👍🏻
Thank you for the shot of Rob's artist's "tackle" box. It is the container for both the artist's tools of his trade and the artist's heart. Like Felix the Cat's bag of tricks--they help to make the magic happen.
Rob is a true artist xx
Your narrow boat is so elegant and classy, the lettering is perfect! We hope you two enjoy your life on Silver Fox. Rob and I have a fifth wheel RV here in the US and enjoy our time in it during the summer months. We are looking forward to spending more time traveling the country when we retire in a few years.
Hey guys! 👋🏻
I had to Google what ‘fifth wheel RV’ means 😂 Sounds like a cool retirement plan! xx

Thanks, Lenny. I'm sure you'll find out more about us as the episodes progress.
Bloody heck and he's doing it on a stool aswell!
Haha! Steady hand
Amazing signwriting and great choice of font. I wish these skilled craftsmen, would start training an apprentice, skills like Rob Waggs are going to be lost, hope he has a trainee or is considering one. In all skilled work, be it Sign writing, painting, engineering, we need to get the young ones in and learning a trade.
He's a wizard with a paintbrush! x
Excellent paint signature from Rob. Simple but stylish font. I love it. 😊
Yeah, took ages to choose that!
Two years of art school and I can't fit Happy Birthday on a cake. This is beautiful! I just started to watch, but I'm fascinated and can't wait to see where you are in 2022!
Much adventure to come xxxx
Wow, with the colour scheme and name I don't think I could have resisted using the LNER locomotives font but that script is very elegant.
Thanks. We love it too 👍🏻
What an artist, the best part for me is the black in black silverfox on the roof. Briljant idea and posh / cleaver.
If you look to future video’s you can see that the little black line does a lot to the boat. You both got style
Thank you so much!
He truly did a perfect job.
Breathtaking it was to watch him, I was worried he will make a mistake or slip, 😅😅
One of your best video
Thank you so much 😀
Signwriting, another talent I deeply admire.
Not at all artistic myself!
Haha! Same. I draw like I did when I was 2 😂
It looks like some ancient Roman God signed it with a quil and ink. It's a lovely example of calligraphy. Gorgeous.
Isn't it! Thanks, Gordon! x
I love the simplicity. More often than not the name and art work becomes the focus. So this was perfect. And his work is incredible
Thanks! 👍🏻
Very classy sign, subtle and stylish, modern and very in league with the boat. What a very talented guy Rob is, the boat looks fantastic guys you must be proud. All the best Stevie
He really is fantastic. Very popular guy! Thanks, Stevie! x
Signwriters - A Trade you do not see very much nowadays but Rob's work is amazing and Silver Fox looks really good on the Silver Paintwork.
Another excellent video Lads. ❤

Australia Calling: watching Rob work was great
He's an amazing artist!
Still like to see a man in harmony with his brush. Great to see a real artist at work. Beats the old stick on transfers. 👍
Fabulous, isn't he? It was fascinating to watch him. xx
Foxes Afloat.....something very relaxing to watch. Rob is very talented. All our lorries in a fleet of around 60 had one man come in and sign write. Was so mesmerising to watch. Glad to see it hasn’t died it’s death. 👍
I have to say she is a really lovely looking boat lads, I think that font looks perfect, it really is artwork when it's done so well isn't it, and they make it look easy😂😂

I typically don’t care much for script-like fonts but I have to say you all nailed this perfectly. Superb!
Thanks, Shelley! xxx
Hi guys
Great to see another craftsman at work looks really great .silver fox looks better every video can't wait to see it in the water
We can't wait either, Ron! Counting down the days now :) xx

Fabulously simple and spot on. 👍🏻 Trev
Cheers, Trev. Exactly what we thought :) x
It’s going to look amazing on the water. You guys must be bursting with excitement. Thanks for sharing the build, it’s been terrific 😉👍🏻

Loving the music. The boat is beautiful! Still binge watching.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Perfect signature

Thank you for taking the time to show a master craftsman at work. Plus I enjoy the good humor of your vlogs!
Cheers, Jack! x
It's great, love it and how skillful is Rob.
He's a true master! Perfect job. Thanks, Adrian :) x
Beautifully done, fits the style of the boat. Before she goes into the water, could you do a slow pan around her? She actually looks like she should be in a museum. Thanks.
Oh, don't worry Richard... Lots of slow pans and video of her on the way :) xx
Great art work, and it suits the boat and your selfs
Cheers, Dave!
Tht little dimple up front? The small circle. A nice black simple outline of a Fox would look cool ?
Simply stylish just like you too. Xx
I thought that said ‘Simple & stylish’, lol! 😂xx
Excellent choice for the font on Silver Fox 🦊 which to me makes a statement!
Thanks, Mark! x
As we say in the U.S. .JOLLY GOOD.
😂
WOW. Fantastic, brilliant job Rob.
👍🏻
I personally like that Lucinda Calligraphy. It really gives an elegant flair. Great choice.
Very elegant! What a great craftsman he is, I could watch him paint for hours!
Was tempted to post the entire unedited video. Only 6 hours long 😂
Understated, stylish, nice.
Thanks, Sue 👍🏻 xx
Again very classy as less is more.
Exactly! Thanks :) xxx
Amazing it looks so elegant 👍😊 you must be so pleased and happy xx
Thanks, Penny. Yeah, we're over the moon with it :) xx

Thanks, John!
We just re-watched this episode as we’ve just contacted Rob to paint our name, now we just have to be patient to wait for the boat to be finished and keep the name secret until then!
Ah, good choice 👍🏻
Wonderful experience, thanks for sharing!
I was fascinated by a man who wears masking tape on his right wrist, and then I realised...he’s left handed! A true artist so many say. Awesome Rob 🎨👍 Thanks again as always guys 🥰🥰
Wow! Haha!
reminds me of the title graphics for the 1930s films! loverly!
Classy! xxx
Fantastic job by Rob, it looks amazing!
Ace, yeah? 👍🏻
@@FoxesAfloat looks great by a talented guy!
Simple and elegant ... love it!
Thank you.... Means a lot from you guys xx
Yes, I think you’ve got it right, tastefully understated.
Are you going to paint the back end in red and white, as appears to be the custom. Don’t waste too much time painting the boat, or you’ll never get it into the water.
All the best
Thanks, Gareth. The stern is red and silver. It looks amazing! xx
Wonderful Guys.....Love it!!
Thank you! We do too :) x
Great choice and here's why, if you decide to add to it later, you can, or not that is a future option. (Maybe a couple of foxes playing hide and seek and chasing each other around the boat). Really looking forward to the launch day (almost wrote lunch, time for something to eat i think). The greatest form of sophistication, is simplicity.
My favourite quote! I have to steal it! “The greatest form of sophistication is simplicity”. Just brilliant! Thanks, Adam xx
Your very welcome! And most befitting indeed! X
That’s beautiful and is just perfect on your gorgeous narrow boat. X
Thanks, Mandy! ❤️
Truly a real artist at work there. It takes immense knowledge and skills to properly envision, draw, kern as necessary, and finally, apply the paint. That combined artistry is nearly lost today. Amazing effort. And although technically his art "belongs" to him, you may wish to consider registering the design as a trademark.
Bravo from here in Canada!!
Thanks, Robert! I really hope that Rob looks at all the comments on this vlog. xx
That matches the style of the boat perfectly...n1
Yeah, we thought so too. Glad you like it xxx
I'm feeling that Banksy should be asked to do a little something on here...... :O GREAT IDEA! It's never too old to add
👍👍👍👍
Just pure class !!!!
That's why we wanted him to do it. He's a wizard! 👍🏻
Cool font - especially like the way he has written the F in Fox :-)
Yeah, we love it!
That is so classy. Rob is brilliant. I love watching people who are so talented doing what they’re good at. It was very relaxing X
He’s a genius, Sue! We love his effort! xx
Amazing, as is the whole boat. Well done guys. Can’t wait to see her on the water.
Yeah, we love it! Thanks, Ian :) x
OMG, I wouldn't have the patience for that, Vinyl works for me! Amazing Artist. AMAZING BOAT! Well done! Have enjoyed the process so far!
Thank you! xx
What a talent! Stunning!
