We started out doing sandblasted etched glass and morphed into stone engraving and monument work. One of my favorite forums, http://www.cuttingedgesandcarving.com seems to be down as of late, but here's another forum http://azglassclasses.com to also check out. JB

Dang...I was born 100+ years too late...again.

Has anybody here on the forum been through a GriefShare course? It's been nearly a month since my father's passing, and I'm ready to move toward the next step of healing. Griefshare.org (http://www.griefshare.org) has a local church that sponsors a group, but it will be a few months before it...

Just a word of caution to anybody with diabetes: steroids cause extreme elevations in blood glucose levels. We went through all of this just before dad's passing two weeks ago.

I'd bet a hundred bucks that it's bold condensed modified roman, with wedge serifs. It was definitely hand-cut "back in the day". You could most likely get away with plotter cutting the bold condensed typeface, and then hand cut the serifs. I'm also a date-cutter / stone engraver...with 20...

I'd like two, please.... JB

...And if you feel inclined to teach him how to make signs, he may very well undercut you and put you out of business. JB

It's been a rough time for our family, but we are thankful and blessed he didn't linger or have any pain. We were all there, and I held his hand as he quietly slipped away. If you've ever wondered, it is still possible to do some of the things "the way they used to do"... The funeral...

Heh...Just had a friend post this on FB while visiting Memphis. Hope this gives you some business ideas. JB

That's one sweet project, for sure. Ah yes...a problem from drafting 101. I've used both the (old fashioned) drafting board and AutoCAD to do ortho layouts for conical surfaces. Brings back memories. JB

ALWAYS make a copy of your original text before expanding. Believe me, you'll kick yourself if you don't. JB

I've been wondering why all these little "gold buying" shops have popped up like a bad rash. JB

Ditto... Absolutely love the pizazzzzz.....but it would help tie things together using fewer fonts. Swap out the burnishing tool for another brush....most people don't know what that tool is for. JB

If you haven't already, make sure you nail down a solid business plan. It's a tough row to hoe without one. JB

Holy Ho Ho Ho! He really does look like Santa! JB

Mistake #1 Mistake #2 You are the guardian of your valuable time and talent. Doing what you're doing is like giving them your ATM card and PIN. Drop them before you lose any more money. JB

I'll bet he keeps the brake & transmission mechanics busy. JB
