  1. Blaster Cabinet: does anyone use these?

    Hey, that's cool, I know Jess from the aforementioned forum. He has his own glass etching fourm at his link on the youtube video. He's a master etcher and is most helpful if you have questions. JB
  2. Blaster Cabinet: does anyone use these?

    I think you'll really be amazed by what you can do with glass and polished granite (dark green and black granite). All it takes is a little practice. During our company's early beginnings, I stumbled onto a place that made granite countertops and they literally threw away tons of scrap...
  3. Blaster Cabinet: does anyone use these?

    The siphon system is like what your cabinet has. Basically, it's an air gun that has a venturi tube that picks up sand from the bottom of the cabinet and sprays it out the nozzle. A pressure pot is a self-contained "tank" that holds the sand under pressure. When the sand is released into...

  5. Blaster Cabinet: does anyone use these?

    Btw...you'll need to use a pressure pot blaster in conjunction with the cabinet. A siphon system doesn't have the ability to deep carve anything. JB

  7. tips on painting cold rolled steel

    Cold rolled steel doesn't have the scale on it like hot rolled steel, but I sill like to sandblast it anyway so it gives the primer extra "tooth". With that said, however, cold rolled steel contains stress and will warp if you blast too long in one area. JB
  8. Passing the Baton

    Sure wishin' there was one nearby. I've never been to a Chik-Fil-A, but I hear there's one about an hour away. Looks like I'll have to plan a business trip. JB
  9. Passing the Baton

    http://www.cathyfamily.com/resources/videos/leadership-toolkit-the-baton.aspx My favorite quote from this clip: "Little dreams stir no man's heart"....profound! And a bunch more of good links on this page as well. JB

  12. circumference distortion formula

    There are companies that specialize in water tower lettering. Four years ago, I worked on a project with a third party that does this very thing. Let me see if I can track down their info. BTW...the exact term you're looking for is "spherical radius". This isn't the one we worked with...
  13. What is your company workflow is like ?

    This debate has been very heated and divisive. You alone are the best judge of what will work for your company based on your business model and client base. Most sales reps will demo their software in your office, or a temorary download may be available online for review. If you're at a...
  14. training

    Ditto for Lynda.com, but only if your employee is a self-directed learner. If they need "hand-held" direct instruction, you might want to consider a community college. JB
  15. How to cover my A$$ when buying a piece of leased equipment!

    Have the seller sign a statement indicating there are no other leinholders on the piece of equipment, and that they (the seller) will take responsibility to settle with creditors if any future issues should arise. Have it notarized. JB

  17. How to cover my A$$ when buying a piece of leased equipment!

    Double check to see if there any other lein holders beyond the leasing company. That kinda stuff can get real ugly. JB
  18. Car Insurance Question

    That's the case here in Michigan. I'm not so sure it qualifies as a "fleet" vehicle, but it could qualify as a "commercial" vehicle. The only way to know for sure is to contact your insurance agent. I see so many cars around here that are fully decked out with the logos of MLM's or...
