I hear the bees up that way make some good honey in that canola. And it looks like they're not only the ones that were busy. Congratulations! I'm a week into some major lifestyle changes down here in Michigan...so far..so good. How 'bout a round of applause to the man that makes it all...

They say business owners are allowed to work half-days...it's up to them to choose which twelve hours they are. JB

Saawwweeeeeet!

With all respect, I found this at the top of this page: Newbie Forum New to the business or thinking about jumping in? Got some basic questions? Ask them here. He's already jumped in...throw him a life preserver...not an anchor. I honestly believe he's owed some apologies here...

I might be setting up myself for my own whippin' here, but I'll go on the record and applaud the man (joeslawn) for making an honest attempt to begin a new chapter in life. I've seen other newbies who've been just as green, yet haven't asked as many questions, and they haven't gotten nearly...

A good business always starts with the customer first, and asks "What does my customer need"? The Calvin stickers crowd and the soccer moms only buy out of want. And when their personal budgets are squeezed hard enough, that market dries up faster than Calvin's pee. I would suggest...

Apparently neither does our government. That's why they're still spending $10,000 per. JB

Thanks for the input Gino....will do. JB

I'm also a little puzzled because I saw that the FDC and 3M Wensco catalog numbers were adjoined in at least two series of the reflective vinyl. Yep...the Gerber is sprocket fed, but I'm not worried about spending a little extra for that either. JB

I run a Gerber GS15 plotter and only need enough to letter two doors with the logo shown along with the city and telephone number at the bottoms of the doors. I also plan on putting two 8 to 10 inch square QR codes at the rear of the box. I would imagine twelve feet would be more than...

Well, I have to admit I'm un-educated when it comes to vinyl since we do mostly sandblasting (stone). Heavy monument stencil material is our medium of choice for the majority of our work. It's time to letter the new (white) shop truck and I was thinking it would look good with black...

Stevo, Awesome design...the only thing missing is the comma between Manhattan and Kansas. JB

Got it. The technical term for this is "perspective drawing". Adobe Illustrator has this feature and it's pretty cool. You might want to look into it. JB

Welcome Jen- It took me four times of reading through your post to get the gist that you're not just in it for a hobby. I also come from a background of humble beginnings as it relates to equipment, and I can totaly relate to the challenges you're facing. Hang tough, and read everything...

Whew! That's one busy web site. I'll have to take a closer look at it when I have time. Thanks for the link. Jim

That's one cool truck. But...I've seen the Plasma Cam up close and personal, and it appears to be nothing more than a toy....very light build with cheap servo motors. That guy in the video is a hoot...sorta reminds me of Gomez on the Addams family.

I thought the title of this post implied the amount of time required to get comfortable running a sign shop.....sheesh! JB

Don't get me wrong...I like what I do. But sooner or later, there may be a time when I get a belly full and decide to do something else. Having a plan in place will make that time much easier. Too often, I've seen seen people run a vibrant businesses (and a good name) into the ground (out...

Details....details...give us the skinny! JB
