you could do a saw cut through it then slide a piece of thin cardboard in the cut then draw round with a pencil if your goin to get it run on a bench this is all they will need or a sqeeze if you can

if you havent done it before then beware its trickier than you think to get right.
for time and getting it right take it to a specialist. beware its pricier than you think!

were about you based? if close enough i can do some discount if you need it doing.

cheers beddy, websites outdated, hundreds of pictures i need to get uploaded to the site. been the family trade for at least 4 generations. so lots of old photos and stuff too.

is that main old photo on there authentic or is it a stockphoto?

 

[mikeadams1985]

authentic as far as im aware, on the back of the original photo it says 'liverpool college' (if i recall)
original print, so can only assume it has some relation to 'adams'

And like you said it definitely isn't easy to get right.
