Ditto for Michael Gerber. I like his "grand fatherly" demeanor on the audio book. We've been doing 5S for a while now, the Shop Floor Series is a wonderful resource. I found my set at Goodwill for just a few bucks. They're quick-reads and informative. Here it is on Amazon...

I believe your tagline pretty much sums up the situation.:rolleyes: JB

Imagine asking the same question after purchasing a new hammer, or a new circular saw. The question doesn't seem as appealing, does it? I've been involved with NC/CNC since the early 80s...back when tool and die shops and production machine shops were the only ones who could afford to procure...

I was able to get a personalized autographed copy from him! His staff did a follow up to my request and noticed that the mission statement on our web site closely mirrored that of ServiceMaster, and they were more than happy to oblige. His other book "The Soul of the Firm" is also good. JB

Almost forgot...I have several variations on Servant Leadership by Robert K. Greenleaf...really good stuff. JB

Yes..."The Tides of Life", by C. William Pollard...former CEO of ServiceMaster. JB

I currently have plenty, and I have thrown away plenty. I am very selective, and I vet my authors carefully...not only for business acumen, but "life" acumen as well. The average age of the authors I follow is 60+, and that rules out a lot "fluff" so prevalent today. So, who's on my shelf...

Sandblasting is not only economical, it's downright stunning when compared to laser etched glass. JB

Ditto for sandblasted glass. Your three options are photoresist, laser film or plotter cut stencil. Each masking process has its own particular strengths. Laser etched / frosted glass can not even begin to compare. JB

The way people re-use water bottles, I don't even want to think of the ramifications this could have. JB

I use an empty lacquer thinner can...1 gallon, square can with the 1-1/2" diameter opening. When it's full, it goes to the metal scrap yard. JB

Definitely hand drawn. JB

The first photo is an exponential thing....KROG to the power of ER. JB

Let me re-phrase this. So, your boss calls up and demands that you come to work for free now... Sounds legit. JB

The only thing different with your application compared to the ones mentioned above is that the back side of your letters will be subjected to moisture that can not effectively dry out in a timely manner. As concrete retains moisture, the bare aluminum will not have the opportunity to form an...

My bad...I'll do some searches... JB

Ok, if you give the customer the book containing every font you have, we all know they'd stand there for hours trying to decide. So... Name the top ten fonts you recommend. JB

Plotter cut vinyl on a window screen will allow you to avoid having "bridges" on your letters. Place a set of small hinges on the frame and screw it to a piece of plywood and you'll have a bonafide screen printing press. With 200+ bags to print, you'll be able to knock them out in no time. JB

Approximately how many do you need to do, and what file format do you need them in? I can do them in SignLab and output them to an .eps file. Give me a holler if you need assistance. JB

I'm assuming they're the plastic "burlap" bags, typically known as sandbags to those in flood-prone areas. Yep, you can stencil them. Cut your logo from high tack vinyl and put it on a framed piece of window screen and paint them with spray paint, or a roller. They're usually made of...
