    Came across this little gem. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexhperry/the-sign-painter-project-20?ref=category Sadly, with 19 days more to go to get to his goal he won't make it, so I'm sharing to (hopefully) see it succeed. I'm going to see if I can scrounge the $60 (twice) to get a...
  12. Cutting issue - camm-1

    Keeping some general information out of it for the person ... just got done talking to someone starting up a retail store ... they have the shop covered as they are parting the store out as a booth system for a monthly fee ... but that income will really only cover the shop and utilities ...
  14. Go to the flea market guy.

    Got to love coming into work to have someone waiting for you tapping their foot ... always starts out with a 'your time isn't as valuble as my time' sort of dialog even if words aren't spoken. Dude wanted ten 3"x4" custom '4x4' graphics (one color) for his 'truck club' which I'm always happy...
  15. I really don't know what to think about this.

    So yesterday the owner of the shop called ... told me that the company could be mine for a horrible, HORRIBLE price. :frustrated: I didn't want it, never talked about it, and now ... I REALLY don't want it. What would you do if the owner of your shop offered you to buy the company for such a...

    Got to love days where random customers make you remember past days working very fondly. Todays memorable memory was one of my first sign shop jobs. On occasion I was hired out to other shops to do work they couldn't (insurance, tools, whatever the reason) or I would make their blanks and...
