  1. Customers in production areas

    I have more issues with my parking lot. I'm on the corner and one street has an opening and it goes past my shop and another opening on the other street. In summer I letter stuff outside and this summer 3 times I had to jerk back behind a truck and twice a trailer because a speeder came blasting...
  2. Customers in production areas

    Shop looks great Gnubler!!! Love the black and red look, looks very sharp!
  3. How to explain outsourcing?

    Signheremd's answer renders me speechless - perfect! I used to say something like that before I had my printer (but not as good lol). It did open up the conversation where I would say a printer and laminator are very expensive pieces of equipment and it takes some time to do research into which...
  4. Wood!

    Very cool! The simplicity of the old days before all this computer non-sense
  5. Wood!

    Geez, I don't think I would have been a sign maker back then lol
  6. Wood!

    He's got a steady hand, that's for sure. MS paint. Nice. This project seems way too time consuming. I've never seen a scroll saw in action...I see the blade is a circle band, interesting! I see the 150 year old saw - that is cool! How many hours do you think this sign took? He must have...
  7. bubbles on plexi

    In the meantime, you can use a spray bottle of water and add 3-4 drops of Dawn dish soap. I have been using that for many years. I have not used baby shampoo but if JBurton uses it then it works also.
  8. equity and the upper crust, this cant end up well

    After wasting 10 minutes of my time, here is a link from the NY Times which shows the photo credited to Sam Brintons Instagram page, which is now listed as private. It was taken at the French Ambassadors Bastille Day celebration. Russia didn't get the memo on pronouns. The below screen shot is...
  9. The longer I'm in this business the more I believe that nobody who runs for office should be allowed to have the job.

    I'm a member of the chamber but got turned off early on. Myself and a handful of other businesses are on the outskirts of town on what is called "the truck route". Well, the downtown people feel "sorry for us" that we "can't" participate in all the downtown chamber activities. Always trying to...
  10. The longer I'm in this business the more I believe that nobody who runs for office should be allowed to have the job.

    Who would want to run for anything these days? Our local school board members got death threats and we only have like 6,000 people in our district. Ridiculous.
  11. The longer I'm in this business the more I believe that nobody who runs for office should be allowed to have the job.

    Pat, what's the story? There must be a reason you posted this, who came in yesterday and what did they do? We all love a good crappy customer story!
  12. How To Cut Aluminum Composite Material

    I used a circular saw for years and sanded the edges - mostly for larger cuts like cutting a 4'x8' sheet in half etc. Smaller pieces you can do like above.
  13. _

    What kind of stickers and where are you selling them? They are a dime a dozen on Amazon, Etsy, etc. I can't tell you how many people walk in my shop and ask if I can match an Amazon price. When I say no, they just order it on Amazon. It's all but eliminated that kind of work for me - which is...
  14. equity and the upper crust, this cant end up well

    Can you guess which one I haven't had? I didn't follow the science. So, on dating sites now, my vaccinated guy friend is having a hard time getting women to date him (this is NOT uncommon at all). Women ask certain questions until they find out if he is vaccinated then they ghost him when they...
  15. _

    I had the best year ever. I'm shocked to hear this. You must be doing something wrong or creating graphics that are not "in-style" or relevant in 2024? I hope you're not making custom covid masks or floor graphics that say "6' apart" because nobody cares anymore. This is not an endorsement for...
  16. Font Identity

    Following...I really like it.
  17. How do you advertise / promote your business to get more business?

    I just ordered some hard cards that are 9x4 double sided that shows most of what I offer. I'm handing them out with every order. I find a lot of people might know I do vehicle lettering but are surprised to find out I do apparel, signs and "stickers". I'm a big believer in FB. I started making...
  18. Some times I think my Job is too hard and I want to run away and explore the South Pole

    That was interesting, never heard of them before. 33 and leading an expedition! I guess the old 33 is like the new 60. Good reading over my breakfast
  19. What computer for RIP?

    I have this one. There's lots of threads on this subject if you search for "new computer" or "computer requirements" stuff like that. I bought this one based on those threads. So far, I like it a lot. I've always had good luck with Lenovos.
  20. Best way to re-do this wrap

    Thanks, I agree. I didn't do the vehicle the first time and it's not going to be on the road much so just keeping it simple for now.
