I was "thrown" into making the channel letters for our shop, I have the backs routed and using .040 (I believe) for he returns. Now I have no problems making the right angle letters "E", "T", "I" etc. Now the problem is rounding the curved letters like "R" "S", what is the trick to doing these...
When we do a 12x18 parking sign we print the sign with very small marks around the perimeter and line them up to the edge of the blank. It works but you still have to measure the edges to properly get the spacing right. We have an order for 75 of them now, is there a quicker way to lay them...

I was in Home Depot yesterday and saw a product that you break a seal on a bag and mix two liquids and pour it into a post hole and it expands into foam. It says that its the same as two bags of cement and after doing some research it seems to hold stronger. I have been familiar with this...
We are looking for a brake to do channel letters and there is one that would work great (No. 99 letter forming brake) but as with anything good it isnt available here in Canada. Does anyone know where we can try to find one, I have searched google, called all our suppliers and am out of options...
We have had several instances of people coming in and asking for a sign or vehicle graphics and we do he artwork and thats the last we hear of them. I would like to come up with a general statement that all the counter people can use to say we will start the design as soon as we have a deposit...
