  1. Biggest dang lobby sign I've ever done

    SO had a customer wanting to cover up the previous tenant's sign... which happened to be waterjet cut granite letters inset into more granite, on an inset wall ~51" x 160". Customer didnt want to lose the granite, and wanted to show it as a "frame" around a sign hung onto the granite. Couldn't...
  2. Need Help Any suggestions on metal brackets for a flag mount sign?

    +1 for .080", especially at an airport with high foot traffic. Overengineer it to be safer.

  6. Install of alu-composite sheets to cinderblock wall - best method?

  8. Suggestions Applying acrylic deminsional letters with VHB to a freshly painted wall

    I'd stud em. Even if they sign a waiver, the shhhshow that would result in peeled latex during an event is not worth the hassle. "YOUR letters came off!" (note that they are definitely your letters) "I warned you, and you signed a waiver" "You're a professional company, and this was a...
  9. Install of alu-composite sheets to cinderblock wall - best method?

    Best way, per request: Mount 1" aluminum tube to wall. Drill one large hole on the side of the tube facing out to accommodate the Tapcon/washer, and drill tapcon sized hole on the rear facing wall and mount washer + tapcon. Completely hides the screw within the tube. You can probably get by...

  11. Just curious how many of you use pen and tablet in your work

    I have a Note 9, and I think that that pretty much qualifies as a pen and tablet lol Honestly, I do use it to do sketches in the field, show where a sign would go to a customer, and take dimensions directly on photos. It COMPLETELY replaces ye olde yellow legal pad and a DSLR that I used to...

  13. Feedback on Layout

    I see Twisted Cedar in that font, and I want to run as far away as possible from that place and the axe murderers within. Subconsciously it screams "CRAZY PEOPLE INSIDE" to me.

  15. How do you structure your pricing for vehicle magnets?

    IF we could sell magnets all day at $90, we'd be retired. There isn't a huge need for them, anymore, especially since all major manufacturers are switching to aluminum truck doors. We still sell a set for $90, and people still pay it. We maybe average about 2 sets a week.

    If it's a flat surface, I'd look into Dackor Laminates. They sell an adhesive backed laminate that is .012 thick and sturdy as hell. Comes in like 60 different textures.

  19. Mounting banners on concrete wall.

    hey, take it as a joke man... most curmudgeons i know are proud of the fact that they are curmudgeons. I'm willing to wager that somewhere in your life, you have a shirt or sign that says cranky old guy on it. You've earned it. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Merry Xmas...
