  1. Installing Trailer Graphics - how do you do it?

    This is what we use- 2 tripod adjustable stands with a walkway on top- this one I built (17 years ago) from an alum extension ladder taken apart and welded together with plywood deck- it is 10' long we have a commercial 14' one as well. The tripods I think were called Mustang. Gene

  13. Hello 3D modelers

  19. Just returned home from Dan Sawatzky's Sign Magic workshop

    That may be criminal? If I was within 100 miles of his shop I would have to stop. And if he wasn't there... I would have to break in and take the consequences. I and my partner Wayne were in his class at the Indiana sign camp this summer- and look what we did. Truly inspirational. If I wasn't 67...
