Probably 80% N. Glantz, then pioneer supply and Harbor sales. They have some products and services ng doesn't have.

I've been running it for two months, no issues at all yet.

I ran a 25500 for 3 years. Never had an issue, of any kind. We did not however run it 40 hours a week every week of that 3 years.

As a one man shop, I'm really happy with quickbooks online. It's like $8 a month, does all my banking, estimates, customer lists and invoicing. The nice perk is the online bill pay option. Customer gets the invoice emailed and they can securely enter a CC for payment, QB does not charge me...

Nice job!

I'm a big shopbot fan. They are affordable, bullet proof and far more machine than a sign shop needs honestly. The last shop I worked for, we picked up a used 5x12 Alpha, the price was too good to pass up, but we didn't need 5x12. Most of our cutting was done in a 4x4 area and maybe 20% in...

If you do end up adding blank banner material to make the size correct, don't use banner tape. Get some HH66 from any supply house and it will NOT come apart.

Go for it Solitary. I'm doing the same thing right now. I've been the designer/fabricator/manager of other people's shops for 15 years. My last shop was a franchise that recently sold. I won't even get into the rat's nest of issues with most franchise shops.... Anyway, I left and started my...

Coastal Enterprises has a resin that does the same thing. It's for lettering dimensional signage. Most sign supply houses carry coastal products.

I'm going to guess the scratches will buff out. If they were really deep, he would have rust issues by now, then you know you're F'ed.

July of 2016 is a long way off and I can't commit yet, but would love to check this out. I'm not a hand letter guy but I love following this stuff. The inspiration from the design work and skill is incredible.

OK, I'm thinking it's storm related, they got hammered there again yesterday.

Been trying to get hold of them for 2 days, no answer on the phone and emails bounce back. It might just be the blizzard though. Does anyone know if they are still open? Looking for some good resources to wholesale prints to.

I love this site. I just logged on to search recs for a new cutting mat. Didn't even have to search, there's a new thread on the subject.

Just signed up for square rather than intuit. You guys already on missed the boat, there's a referral program that gets you and the new member $1,000 in free swipes. Vector Dr., if you go to square, let me know before you sign up.

That is another reason I liked intuit. With quick books, there is a bill pay link in the quote that the customer can enter a cc number to pay that saves you the fees of taking a card over the phone and never actually seeing or touching it. Now, whether it's better than square in the long...

Yep, half lap them. You can get dado blades for chop saws & table saws. You can route it or really go old school and use a circular saw and a chisel. Any of these methods will get you there, some faster than others. http://www.woodmagazine.com/woodworking-tips/techniques/joinery/half-lap-joints/

Hmmm...I need to talk to Intuit and Square about the "extra fees" before I activate this Intuit reader. Thanks.

Resurrecting an old thread here to see if things have changed... I see a few of you did not like Intuit and went to square. Do you still like square? I'm starting my own shop after years of working for others and Intuit gave me the reader free, no monthly fees and 2.4 per swipe + 25 cents. I...

Have you checked with your sign supply warehouses? Quite a few of mine will sell me the extrusions to make my own and also sell me an assembled box with UL cert delivered to my shop. Pioneer Supply is one of those suppliers here in my area, not sure who you use in TX.
