  1. Pondering the old sign “painter” days…

    I was walking through a junk yard the other day, looking for a part for a vehicle and ran across this truck. You can see he had his own style of lettering too. I'm sure you'd know his work anywhere. Well, wait, maybe he wrecked the truck while going to the store to get more paint to finish the...
  2. John Don't Go!

    :goodpost:One of the best things I think I've ever seen you post Joe, and you've posted plenty of great things over the years.

  4. John Don't Go!

    You're leaving off one important point. Google didn't exist. If you were into some sick fetish, you could go onto that area and post anonymously all day long. You could view and post the most vile things one could ever imagine and not a single person on the planet knew who said it, or who was...
  5. John Don't Go!

    Gee, thanks for the update. Not here to contribute for 6 months, stop in to say "this place is going downhill because you're kicking off good people" (2 people kicked out of 1000's). "Stop whining and suck it up" and then "I'm out of here for the next 6 months". How's that helpful? I miss the...
  6. Sewing the hem edge on vinyl banners?

    I can't help you solve that, but we bought a sewing machine and I've never sew in my life. Watched the woman who sold it to us demonstrate piles of sewing, came back to the shop, couldn't get it to sew anything. Fought that thing for 2 weeks. Bought about $50 worth of various threads at local...
  7. John Don't Go!

    So in order to keep one person out of 1000's, we have to let him do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants, however he wants to do it? What if he posts racists remarks? Should we just ignore them and say "Yeah, but look how much he helps?". That's crazy. John (or whatever his real name is)...
  8. John Don't Go!

    Isn't it pretty simple? Fred says "Knock it off", you knock it off. That seems to be something some people can't grasp. I also liked John. He helped me a number of times, but in the end, Fred apparently asked him to change something and he apparently has refused to do so. Gino was told repeated...
  9. My new way of proofing items with dimension

    Very cool. I remember downloading and installing Blender about 3 years ago. I've been programming CNC machines since 1984, so I've drawn my share of just about everything. Couldn't figure out how to use that software for the life of me. It made me feel extremely stupid. I resorted to youtube and...
  10. Sewing the hem edge on vinyl banners?

    The tension thing is the opposite of what you would think. Problems on the bottom stitch mean there is an issue with the top thread, problems with the top thread tend to mean there's an issue with the bottom thread. It's exactly backwards of what you'd think it would be. I would guess you...
  11. Sewing the hem edge on vinyl banners?

    Yes, your tension is not right. When it's right, the stitch meets in the middle of the material. On your top, it looks like it's going all the way through and the bottom is just a straight line. That's a tension issue. If you load white in the top, I'd load white in the bottom. I suppose you...
  12. John Don't Go!

    I can't speak on anything you true designers are going through, but from a different perspective, this forum was a better place because people like Joe, Rick, Dan, and countless others showed their creativity on so much stuff. It seriously raised the bar of this forum and made us all better for...
  13. Setting up email on HP Latex machines

    Thats why I posted, when I'm logged into my server, I can't see any of the things listed that the printer is asking for. Specifically, the printer is asking for the email IP address and I've never seen an IP address associated with setting up any email client. That's where I'm lost.
  14. Setting up email on HP Latex machines

    Has anyone setup the email notifications on their machines? It's apparently asking for information I don't know. It's asking for proxy servers, IP addresses for the email, etc. I would imagine if we hosted our own email server, those things would be things I would have access to, but when I log...
  15. My latest project.

    That's really nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
  16. John Don't Go!

    Fair enough Rick.
  17. Polishing Edges on Acrylic

    That's what we use. It's a tiny, very hot flame.
  18. John Don't Go!

    A lot of people felt the same way about Gino. He treated a lot of people terrible and everyone knows that for a fact, not an opinion. People would ask an honest question, then he'd twist their words into something they didn't say, call them out on it, then act like he was the victim and only...
  19. Polishing Edges on Acrylic

    Got any links to that? You're talking about something other than the stepped abrasive setup from Novus, aren't you? If so, I'd like to know more. I have a bunch of 1/2" to cut and flame polish next week and I hate sanding the stuff by hand. I'm getting too old for high volume repetitive movements :)
  20. Polishing Edges on Acrylic

    It's not difficult, but a propane torch isn't the easiest to use for that. The quality of the edge will be directly proportional to the time you spend preparing it. What grit are you using? 320 is going to be fair, 400, especially 400 wet sanded, will put you in great shape. I never go more than...
