I would love to do it this way but of course they are older folks and a bit set in their ways, "this is what we had before, this is what we want again". Also they want to be able to change their pricing when necessary without making a whole new sign. It's like talking to a brick wall, so I'm...

Sorry, it will be clear. Covering a digital print for their drive thru menu board.

I have a customer needing a polycarbonate or acrylic cover for a menu board 4'x6'. It is a possibility that it could be hit by car/truck mirrors going through the drive through. Anyway I know that the polycarbonate would be better as far as cracking is concerned should there ever be an...

I guess it is, just thought it might be frowned upon. the biggest thing that concerns me with that is that there is a steel frame around the inside of the aluminum extrusion that is very rusty, I guess being on the inside it doesn't matter so much though. Might be a lot easier as far as...

This is a 3'x8' extending over the sidewalk, they wanted me to re-lamp their existing sign but after looking at it that doesn't seem to be an option. This thing hasn't been lit in years. Best I can tell without getting up in there is that it has the steel supports from the building to the end...

I had a 3 sets of cards one time that they somehow couldn't cut on the registration marks(not even within their tolerances). Second time around was better but still not right and they just couldn't understand what the problem was. As Charlie said I was directed to the website for templates and...

I have a similar job coming up and I was looking at using the Arlon 8000 as it is a lot less expensive and it doesn't need to last that long. Anyone have any experience with this?

Very good advise! I started with just single truck owners, now I still do them but the bread & butter is with the trucking companies that have 50-100 trucks and you are always doing something for them. A good word about your work will travel fast but a bad word will ruin you in a heartbeat if...

I get mine through General Rubber & Plastic. PM me if you want my sales reps info, not sure what kind of price they would be at but they supply mostly large manufacturing facilities.

I think I will print out those pics and hang them above my computer for motivation! Looks great!

I have a couple of Graphtec FC7000's and I need to change the cutting strips on both of them again. I run a good amount of window film through them and this requires a perfect cutting strip for acceptable results. My question is, it there anywhere that sells a bulk roll of this stuff that I...

Maybe I should pick another career...lol. I already had Phillip Newell design the logo. I like the color band a lot! There is a sign shop near me that has a LED neon like tube running around the perimeter of the roof that looks really good, maybe I can incorporate something similar into the...

Here are the last 2 that I came up with, one is with Jill's font suggestion for signs. What I meant by LED's was putting them around the perimiter of the entire sign making the wall glow. I would probably do them in blue but I really don't know if it would look right or even show up if I have...

I'm going to tweak on it a little when I get home. The majority of my customers know the shop as "Klem's", so I though it would be a good idea to keep that pretty good size. Any thoughts on lighting? I almost like the idea of led's around the edges to give it a glowing effect, but then maybe I...

+1 Always a pleasure to work with and super fast!

Guess I should have picked some different colors when I built it as I really don't feel like painting a 4yr old building. Landscaping was always the idea, maybe next spring we can make that happen. For now it will probably have to stay a rental storage box. I think I will lower it back down...

Klem is my last name. I'll try enlarging restyling some also. My concerns with extending it beyond the roofline would be wind & snow load, a ton of blank "canvas" below the sign, and the roof sticks out probably 4-6" past the wall so the bottom of the sign would have to be that far off the...

Finally getting around to working on a proper sign for my shop, been almost 4 years since I built this building and I think making my own sign is way overdue. Size of the sign is rougly 8' x 21'. My thought at the moment is to build it out of dibond and pvc with about a 1.5" aluminum tube...

27" iMac here, perfect right out of the box!
