Train her for a period of time - in "her" time. Then next vacation time she has - get her to "work" with you for two weeks. Reassess after the two weeks. She may be glad to go back to her job with a new respect for it.

My apologies... feel free to delete. But with respect there were three other comments similar to mine. No idea why only one was singled out??? Is one to read between the lines "It isn't about anyone's theory of pricing (or lack thereof). that possibly I may be on the wrong track in my...

+8 Pounce. EXCELLENT money in this job. Take the plunge and make huge $$$. Someone local at worst can make the pounce and cut in the edges for you. Then all you have to do is paint the "insides". Just like colouring in. Cheers

Insurances, rent, materials "specials", labour rates, desired income, vehicle costs, machinery costs and upgrades, "stuff ups", advertising, utilities, and specialisation all play a part in the cost of any product generated. Price securement relates to all of the above and especially the...

By rights, the glue should be softer than the vinyl. When cut, the blade should "compress" the glue and then expand ever so slightly creating an automatic seal. Sealing edges on good quality vinyls should not be necessary. Cheers - G

Sign shop liquidation... and not a can of paint, vinyl, computers etc... that's laughable.

ANY 3D routing software has an inherent degree of learning... and it's not easy. Stop trying to take the easy path and learn the program. It will make you far better for it in the long run and allow you to create whatever you can dream of. I run Rhino which is purely a 3D Cad program...

I'm with isign.... paint the bloody thing. Will last forever, no install problem, no weather concerns, etc etc. If you cant hand paint - now is a great time to learn. $60 for paint and charge him $5000. He should see that as a bargain.

Great looking so far. However I would have liked to see the North, South, East, West raised more than the sub points (NW, NE, SE, SW) and each point chamfered on an angle. Would have added just that little more dimension and definately more "excitement" when moving past the image rather than...

Great job Dave in all aspects, layout, design, colour and balance. All it took was a plotter, some mask, forethought and most of all KNOWHOW. Cheers - Gregg

Each "tool" that you invest in should pay it's own way. Whether that be in profit, time saving, ease of completion, or work flow. One would not expect someone to invest in a cnc to cut a perfect square when a hand saw and some sandpaper will do the same job in a little more time. But if you...

In their own town, "everyone's an expert". That's to be expected. What works in Florida does not necessarily work in LA. Heat (expansion) in some areas, snow (weight) in others. Whilst this has no reflection on you or your sub comtractors, I always hold one approach and one approach only...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Real signs

Probably right Dave - a "Sydney" thing. Up there you have theme parks etc etc and a much more relaxed attitude, possibly due to a lot of tourists. Yes we have tourists, but we also have a large (sadly) gun crime rate. Rethinking if it was a totally themed restaurant such as "Cheeseburger...

You obviously have talent. I personally like the gangster one... except wondering what you can manipulate to lose the gun? Great concept just not so PC. Once inside - YES but from outside looking in - I would probably bypass the restaurant. Just sayin' Cheers - G

Well if you are going to go digital, it gives a lot of scope. Here's a quick take. Me thinks it says "Old Town" Cheers - G

Interesting to see my original post resurface after 4 or so months. Some interesting comments. Some interesting redirects. Also interesting is the fact that many have confused hand lettering with design. Many signwriters get better at layout and design by hand painting - but not all...

Welcome from sunny Sydney

1) Go back to your original posted idea 2) Lose the DJ 3) Lose the swirls 4) Lower case the "entertainment" 5) Caps the lower text - resizing to the console. THAT my friend will be clean crisp and have longevity. Cheers - G
