Mils and millimeters, there is a very big difference. 70 mm is 2.756 inches thick, is this really correct? I think 70 MILS (seventy thousandths of an inch .070") sounds more realistic. Very cool machine, for sure.

In one of our earlier businesses we did hot stamping and we used to give away business card magnets that had our logo with some cool looking foil designs. Since we've changed the nature of our business, I put together these pocket folders made from 150 lb. card stock and blind debossed on the...

Sweet...but how will he / she ever know if the doors get dinged in a parking lot? Ok...but my truck almost looks like that, and it's not even wrapped....hmmmm...

Thanks Jill....I never knew that gal had a name. This place is really educational. Hmmm...are you suggesting Round and Round? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuWD7VrHquU Gads...the leather...and hair....and stage "presence". Liberace may have been proud of 'em.

I have a Kensol hot stamp press that can die cut up to 4" x 11". I use AutoCAD for designing steel rule dies and my diemaker is in Kalamazoo. It might be overkill for just a prototype.

Guns don't kill people. Dad's with pretty daughters kill people.

I've worked for other sign makers this way before, and I think it's a great opportunity for learning. More specifically, I etch glass and was hired by a sign maker to come and layout and etch a 6 x 6 window he had designed. We spent the better part of two days working together. Through...

Either that, or she knows how to get payment for overdue invoices. That alone would be worth her pay.

Believe it or not, I've also had similar experiences with local business owners. Most of their "inventory" is next day, or is only available by special order...which I can understand due to the expense of carrying costs. But....if they want to survive, they'd better be offering something...

Scott- Welcome from Hillsdale (just 30 miles east of you). I was born and raised in Coldwater....CHS class of '84. I even remember the day when the prison came to town....and when most of State St. in that area was nothing but open fields....the good old days. Jim

I hear doctors are now threatening to put gall bladders back in for non payment..... Just kidding, but wow, sounds like it turned out well in the end. Unfortunately, I've been done over a time or two by a recent customer...shame on me. They've always paid, but it took months and months...

Sounds as though it may have been your competition shopping you. Let 'em stay P.O.'d...you don't owen them anything. If they don't want to work with you at this stage of the game, they'll definitely be a PITA customer in the end.

We engrave a lot of bricks for various organizaions. At one college, the sorority girls somehow got permission to put the feminine variant ("bit**es") of this phrase on one brick. Moral of the story...don't mess with sorority girls.

Stand $100 bills on their (long) edge and tuck them in your wallet. That way you won't be tripping over them.

It's been almost twenty years or so since I first heard this song. My dad had one, and so did grandma. I've been working on one for my kids, it's absolutely chocked full, and I have enough stuff for another box or two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-EEynSrD5s

Thanks to an awesome grammar teacher in high school, I've also become somewhat of an anal grammar freak. Our community dropped big bucks for a "shop local" campaign, and the leaders don't even have a clue that their adjective should have really be an adverb (LOCALLY!). I raised the...

Good idea.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been tossing stones also, but this time of year, the rocks just seem to glide across the water with absolutely no splashes.

Very much agree. Also agree. I believe ordinances should only set standards and not dictate how many types of business join the party. Left to "survival of the fittest", the numbers of these businesses will naturally grow, or shrink, to whatever the market will bear.
