  1. Question Beginner

    Work at a shop that designs them for a while, steal their knowledge, then set yourself up as a competitor. THEN Be surprised when their superior quality and experience trumps your bargain basement prices. I'm joking, of course.... mostly.
  2. What do you do when a surface is too hard to drill through?

    If it's harder then concrete, it's stone or rebar. Most likely rebar. You can use a few cobalt bits after the concrete is out of the hole and drill it with enough force. It's not going to affect any structural integrity. If it is stone, diamond hole saw bits will eventually chop right...
  3. best sign related injury :)

    Haha, I can design... but I can't draw worth a lick. Two separate things. I got in a self-portrait drawing contest with my 9 year old on my Note. She won, handily.
  4. best sign related injury :)

    Asking for a commission (free): Draw Gino, with slabs of wood bouncing of his stomach, ala 1950's superman.
  5. best sign related injury :)

  6. Hockey rink board ads - material used?

    That article literally recommends using ~0.25" (quarter inch) thick vinyl, and then doubles down and says 3-4mm lamination on top. Besides using both metric and imperial measurements, I think he meant 2 mils. (thousandths of an inch). Doesn't sound like a guy with 20 years experience in...

    I love when this gets updated, haha We hired a new guy, so standby for an update!
  8. Suggestions How to hang a double sided 4 x 8 sign

    This job is a catch 22 if it goes to permitting. You need to make the sign heavy so it doesn't blow around, and has enough internal support to carry the weight. The crossbar on the sign is not going to be strong enough to carry the weight you need to support. (from an engineering perspective...
  9. What a tornado does to ACM

    Flying Guillotines. Which county did they find it in?
  10. Need Help My idiot friend plugged a drill in and now my Versacamm will not turn on

  11. Adhering Stone Veneer to Fabricated Aluminum Monument

    Should we use epoxy adhesive? Welded/joined Wire mesh w/mortar? Foam product? It's going on 2 columns at either end of a existing sign. Customers, man.
  12. Wow, Check out this estimate

    I'd make sure and ask the customer to measure the thickness when he gets them.
  13. Remote Mounted Reverse Channel Letters

    That's the one, Gino. It just showed up in my font list one day - I remember seeing a "double" when scrolling and couldn't recall what it was called.
  14. Removable and Reusable Adhesive Fabric

    Can you give some more information about what "reusable" means? I don;t think I've seen this product.
  15. gemini 0.25" metal spacers

    Set a block on one end of a chop saw and hack away. I've used thin PVC and alum tubing.
  16. Remote Mounted Reverse Channel Letters

    Thanks all. Basque Light, all caps, I biggie-sized the first letters. The "A" is what did it for me when designing.
  17. Need Help My idiot friend plugged a drill in and now my Versacamm will not turn on

    You're in Jersey. Just hire a tech and have it fixed today. If you didn't already check the breaker, and your best description was "there was a spark", you have no business poking around with a multimeter.
  18. Remote Mounted Reverse Channel Letters

    Did 4x Monuments for this HOA. Fab alum. remote mounted letters, acrylic backs, LED illumination. Painted spacers. Raceway installed on rear of monument sign, wires sleeved and fed through.

    I like signs. If I didn't like signs and want to talk about signs and post pictures of nice signs, I wouldn't be here.
