WOW - That is a new one for me. I am very familiar with brass and bronze plaques on the S. Georgia and Florida Eastern Shores. This is probably the worst I have seen to have been installed for such a short period of time. Just from the photo, it "appears" to be a total failure of the clear coat...

Jean - You know that I came from St.Marys/Kingsland and I did a lot of brass and bronze projects for the community and the Navy Base.. Most were factory-sealed with a two-part urethane automotive style clear and others were left to oxidize and weather in place naturally forever. Seasonal...

Rob, what is the Main Line of signage in your shop? How do you determine prices for all the other work that you produce? (just out of curiosity)

We certainly can print on canvas material. Is the material actual duck cloth? or vinyl or polyester with a canvas texture?? (Just out of curiosity).

Plus - nobody knows "how" or "wants to" do the correct joinery and bracing anymore. Slap it together and get it out the door. Mitered Half-Lap Corner.

Is anyone here besides me having a problem with the term "high-end stretched canvas" ?? I guess I am too Old-School to accept the Home Depot lumberyard sticks nailed together to hold it firmly against the wall in a flat manner for "ever". Assuming, of course, this will be a "wrap-around" frame...

Versicolor - what kind of shop do you have? There are two "vinyl" shops in my area that don't have space or the desire for metal or woodworking projects. So they (used to) farm it out to me. If this is something that you would like to add to your repertoire, and make it profitable, seek out a...

Four FEET square is a bit out of the hobbyist's level for a "professional" frame that won't warp or twist later on.

My sign shop was also a custom wood shop..... everything was done "in-house". (by ME).

I will look into the polyester. I guess you guys don't come back to "paint over" anything that you've printed. I'll find some art forums that actually "paint" on canvas. I'm looking for 4-6oz cotton canvas with pronounced grain. It will be hand-primed with painter's gesso prior to running it...

I checked with my two local shops and they only use some kind of "canvas textured vinyl" and to me, it was the same as the vinyl banners I used to put vinyl graphics on. Also, both said they do not print customer-supplied materials in their machines. (that was my only interaction with them). is...

I want to explore a new way of painting. First of all, is it possible or even common in Digital Print Shops to use actual artist's cloth canvas vs "textured vinyl" for 36x36 size projects? My "ambition" to explore is to have a photo printed on a pre-primed artist's canvas in maybe 50% opacity...

I've also purchased "box kits" from Reece and was very satisfied with them. Please check back in with some photos after you get it all figured out and installed.

Raul, that frame is extruded aluminum - the flat back mounts to the wall and there is a channel for the panel to slide into. Then, the end cap is attached with screws to button it all up and it's done. Ask the customer who installed his other signs so you can track down the source for the...

A friend of mine just made this plaque. Engraved wood with CNC, 22 X 12".

Bill - how deep will the carving be ? I've done shallow sandblasted signs with 1/2" HDU and shallow hand-carved with 3/4" HDU. Made a plywood form and laminated the top carved panel over two sheets of 1/2" HDU (using the foaming Gorilla Glue) to make one solid panel that will never loose its...

Edit: What is your time frame for R&D and then production ? I'm a big fan of Dimensional when it comes to official signage such as Law Enforcement badges. work up some "options" for the client that is within your skill sets - or, farm it out to a CNC shop and you do all the finishing. Rule #1 =...

Photos ?? we love seeing photos of project "in the process" and after it's all said and done.

up the road in Kissimmee near North end of Big Lake Toho off of John Young.

I'm okay here in my area. Still have power and internet, no flooding or other issues. (truly Blessed in this one). Some of our members are down in the Cape Coral, Ft.Meyers, and Tampa areas. And, the McIltrot brothers (SignCraft Magazine). Hoping and Praying all is okay with them.
