Well Pat, after reading that (which was very interesting) I am scared hell of the near future. I would hate to be starting out now, and the golf course and retirment is almost looking good. Great post!!:thumb:

Sounds like friendle advice to me??? Maybe the customer????:wine-smi:

Well I don't know how stuck on vinyl could compete against the proper lacquer used on a back sprayed acryllic?? A lot of people have the notion that if it can't be "stuck" on then it is not worth doing. I have some 20 year old illuminated signs still going that requied new boxes because the...

:goodpost: Back sprayed signs would out last vinyl 100 - 1. Some people just don't like to take professional friendly advice.

Thank you to everone who had put some ideas and input, especially Rich who went to a bit of trouble to give a pictorial idea up. Well done mate! I will do another exercise soon, so keep an eye out under Classroom Assignments. This is what I came up with and how I got around doing the boards...

Tell them you know what they are up to, and that you have always been there for them, unlike some Jonny-come-lately whose onle address is his cell phone.

WOW!! Rich you blew the socks off me.. That is fantastic.. How long have you been in bisiness. I wish I put this up before I did the job, I woulda ripped your design off lol!!! Thanks for the interest, and you are certainly on the right track.. I'll give it one more day and then put my effort...

Vinyl cutters keep "spitting out signs" as they say, but when they stop working ....Who is going to help you get them up and working again??????? The cheapskate customer will be long gone!

Rich, you're on the right track in mos ways but magnetics are not the way because they win an annual event and their name is to go up on the board for posterity. I have seen some old hand written boards here that go back for over 90 years at golf and bowling clubs etc. Some are so old that they...

Hi dragonfire, Just thought I'd let you know that I have another exercise going... http://www.signs101.com/forums/search.php?searchid=818398 Feel free to comment. Regards Dave.

Good points Rich. The clubhouse is shared between a cricket club and a football club. I did re-use the back of the boards and stained and varnished them. In pre computer days these "honour boards" were hand written using gold leaf, so these days it is mostly matt gold vinyl, so a darker stain is...

hahahaahha, good one Mark. Maybe it could be the end of Signs101!!. well when they come here wanting some help?????

10 hours and no newbies interested?? Thats ok, lets see how you make out in your new businesses????

Manny happy returns Phillip!!

Here is the scenario: You have to meet with the president of a local sports club to discuss some honour boards. He is disappointed (someone has been putting the names on themselves) with what they have and asks for suggestions on how they can be made to look better. There is nothing to do except...

Ditto to all of above... Put it down to experience and don't trust ANYONE!! I took my printer out of my office just so when they say "Can you print that so I can show my wife" I can say with all honesty that I don't have a printer. As for the email bit you just have to say when the job is...

You are a nice man Jamie, and I only wish i was close enough to be able to do anything at all... May God bless you, and if there were only more people in this world as good as you are. Good Luck and whoever the body found is... It is someones baby which is very very sad... The laws really need...

Down under spring has missed us completely.. A few weeks back we had dust storms from off the desert. Although the nights still get a bit cool the days here are getting very warm. We are going on our monthly HOG ride on Sunday and the prediction is for a hot day so it should be nice. Myself I...
