  1. What Are You/Did You Buy On Sale Black Friday?

    Drove by Menard's (think local big box store with lumber) and the parking lots were jammed to the edges. Oh well... my sweetie will not get her yarn winder made today- it's a surprise so she will not know. I have tried not to enter stores between TG and Xmas for at least the last 25 years. And...
  2. Need advice on hanging a wooden sign

    I would not let it swing free- you will get rust forming where it moves on the eyes and the rust will run down the face. Tether it to keep from swinging.
  3. There is a FARO in my future!

    Hi Joe (I know you from the 3dsignforum)- pretty HDuty for a hobbyist- do you intend to do scanning for hire? I would think there is a market for that. Good luck Gene
  4. what tape do you use for your hinge?

    Started this business 19 years ago after selling my bodyshop (got tired of insurance companies telling me what I could charge) - have never used anything but green 3m body tape- 3/4 and 1.5 inch. Used to get it at NAPA but from ABody supply is cheaper, and they deliver. Costs money to make money...

  8. Looking for a 3/4 x 6 inch nameplate holder?

    Thank you gentlemen. I checked my Johnson catalog but they also have a JRS catalog and there were 3/4 x 10 extrusions in that that look correct. Gene :notworthy:
  9. Looking for a 3/4 x 6 inch nameplate holder?

    A (good) customer sent me this pict- looks like someone stacked 3/4 x 6 holders but I can't find those either. Anyone have a source they can share? Thanks Gene
  10. Carriage Sagging from Age

    On my VP540- which looks the same- there are 2 spring leaves (#40 on the diagram) which hold the carriage so that it can slide from the low to the high position that needed to be re-tensioned (bent) as they were allowing the print head carriage to tilt forward.
  11. Is the backing to Mac tac vinyl recyclable?

    For one thing- it costs me half as much to have a recycling container dumped vs. a normal dumpster. And while I don't expect my recycling to make any amount of difference to my life... it certainly is not a bad thing (I have a child and a grandchild to whom it may make a difference). Bob is...
  12. Trailer design, one side perfect but oh yeah there the other side

    Years ago I did boat registration numbers for an old duffer (he was probably younger than I am now :covereyes: ) and he insisted that the reg had to read from the bow. I could not change his mind so that is the way we made them. Always wondered what the DNR officer that stopped him said about...

  14. Knight 16 clamshell heat press

    This machine is 15 years old and has about 5 hours of heat time on it. It seems to correspond roughly to the current DK16 model (http://www.heatpress.com/product.php?pn=9). I am looking for $300. It is heavy and would be a pain to ship so prefer local pickup. I will throw in the thermal...

  16. Any laser people out there? Using Lasercut 6.1?

    I am importing a Chicom laser and it is spec-ed out with LaserCut 6.1... but I cannot find almost nothing about 6.1 and it seems to have a different control board from 5.3- so not backward compatible. Anyone with knowledge to share? Thanks Gene
