Bill Very good post and one of the things you brought up on the business side is important. You had problems with that side of the business and I think it is important to also give the newbee's some guidance on getting a business started. This list is by no means complete and is based on what I...

That reading list is a good one and it will be a big help to you. One of the things that may help you in developing your new business is a plan. First look at what is the demand in your area for various types of signs and sign related services. How many new businesses are opening in your area...

Well that was it and when I started working with it they are not upside down. They look like that in the new layout. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for the help. Jimmy

Doing a quote on replacing these and the rest of the lettering on the building. Everything is the same font and they look like they were cut on a router. And yes the S is upside down along with all the others on the store. Thanks Jimmy

Is the obstruction message always for the same slot? There is a micro switch in each storage slot that tells the printer that there is a cart in the slot and that it is in the correct position. If you look in the slot from the back of the machine it is easy to see. Make sure the arm is not...

You may have better luck asking for quotes with exact quantities of each decal, the material that is needed, and make the files available to those giving quotes so we can plan these in the manner that best fits our equipment. We may be able to do a better job of giving you something you can take...

Not sure where you are on the east coast but I get my trupan from Atlantic plywood in Richmond VA. Works great for a spoil board. Jimmy

At .50 each for the coupled sticker you are stil below the cost for thermal printing for the materials alone. I think Stouse and screen printing are your only option and you are not going to make any money at that. Not sure on the final use of these but they would need contour cuting and with...

Glad to here you are OK. I ride a motorcycle to work and every other place I go if I can and even riding a Harley Ultra with all the lights and stuff on it folks still don't see me. On a bicycle you are much less visable and a lot less looked for. Most crashes involving motorcycles that don't...

I just got some from Fellers not long ago and they have 2 branches close enough to you for next day if you call in the morning. Jimmy

I can do them on the Summa using thermal but like Fred can not get close on price. Stouse bay be able to screen print them but I don't think the price is going to get you where you need to be. Good luck and let us know what you find for a source that can get you what you need, it would be good...

5. I live a double life, my other email address ends in NASA.gov 4. I am obsessed with everything mechanical. I will take apart almost anything to see how it works. 3. I go to a movie when forced to and watch very little TV and when I do it's the Science channel or History. 2. I believe that it...

I got a request from a strip mall to install several signs along the covered walk way. They have a requirement that all stores have a 24" long sign across from the doors with their name on it and the are all the same size and color. When the built the place they installed these anodized mounts...

Man that is sweet! Jimmy

If I had the money I would by the Summa. They do cut real nice and built like a tank. Jimmy

If you are not sure on the labor part of your estimate try writing down the entire process of making the signs from ordering the materials, cutting everything out, weeding, taping, applying, and assembly in a manner that looks like a set of instructions and start putting times down that you feel...

The photo deal does not work, even with a zoom. The architect idea sounds good and I will make some calls. I still would like to have one it would be handy for some of the RC boat stuff I do. Thanks for the ideas. Jimmy

One of the things we do with the router is custom engraved windshields for Harleys and I need a way to scan the templates I make. I have been putting a grid on them and doing them a piece at a time with the small scanner and putting them together in Corel and tht is a big pain. I did a search...

Now that is good news. I have V-Carve pro and Cut 3D and love there stuff. I like your setup and looked at the video's, gives me some inspiration to work on mine. Jimmy

Jim Nice work. When I built my router I did leave room for a rotory at one end. I have started collecting parts. Can you post a pic of your setup, I am always looking for ideas. Thanks Jimmy
