If you designed and built a detailed dimensional sign for a municipality, and there are still three other signs just like it which they want it to match, then 10 years later the sign gets destroyed and the client asks you to quote on building another but it is going to be quoted by two other...

Was it harder to blast than, say cedar or redwood and get any depth to it?

I have a customer who wants me to sandblast some kind of pattern/mold whatever, that he can press into beach sand to imprint words. I tried to talk him into going with CNC routed but he thinks he wants sandblasted and he wants it done in Extira. Has anyone ever blasted this stuff before? Thanks

How do you keep the letters from moving while you lay the transfer tape?

Planning to install some router-cut "Dibond" letters to a sheetrock wall(as in the photo) using 3M double-faced tape. How would you prepare your pattern to install these? Thanks

And I'm going to need to borrow a bigger bandsaw, than the one I have, to cut it out with.

For anyone who has built a timber-frame sign structure; If you made this frame out of 8''x8'' pressure treated pine timbers, what kind of joints would you use? Lap joints? Also, the arch will need to be from laminated 8x8's. Have you ever used Gorilla Glue to laminate PT wood? What about West...

Ok, I;ve been using an Ioline plotter for the past 22 years. Got this Mimaki CG SRIII and the "Fine Cut" wizard thingy I loaded in CorelDraw only accepts EMF's. Why does the EMF not retain it's size after exporting from another program? Like, I export a file 10''x20'' from SW6.0 and it imports...

I called the sheriff's department and they had no idea what he was up to either. But the officer I spoke with said everything was recorded in case something else came up.

Considering the weirdness of the proposition, I was afraid to take his stack of $100 bills, and I didn't have one of those counterfeit money pen thingys. Been alot of counterfeit money circulating around here lately. I had a couple of the pens on order and they just came in this morning.

Almost $2600

No, I've never been taken to small claims, neither have I sued anyone.

I told the guy I would give him a receipt. Took a photo of his driver's license, He said I was "causing him too much trouble", tore the check up, took the cash and left.

Guy comes into my shop, wants to write me a check for my services, have me sign the back of the check and hand it back to him, then he wants to pay me in cash? What was he trying to pull? In my 22 years in business I've never encountered anything like this before. Thanks

Since the hurricane, this place is a wreck. Thousands, probably millions of trees down; with some whole forests laid waste. For the past two months I have been selling "root grapples" which all started when I bought one to clean up my own property and it ended up not fitting my tractor. I put...

I use SignWizard 6.0 for cutting, Corel x8 for designing prints

Guy has a 60'' Designjet 6100ps in his shop. Wants $450 for it. comes with a "US Cutter" 50'' plotter and some ink cartridges. Says I can try it out first. Would you touch it?

Yes I am in one of those areas. Not only that, many customers here haven't been in business very long either. They usually call my shop asking "I need a price on a sign", and tend to view the value of a sign as little more than the cost of the substrate. That's one of the reasons I concentrate...

I thought so too, but according to this supplier.........
