  1. Hello from the midwest

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the hospitality! Welcome from Hawaii (previously Zionsville, Indiana!) Great luck to you! Good move! I'll be ready to retire in a few years, need any help over there?:Big Laugh
  2. I'm Back!!!

    Yeah, congratulations.... Been to the website... Which one's Dennis, what's Dennis got that I ain't got? Besides looks, talent, and money... ya got to the money part yet?:rock-n-roll:
  3. Finding Cheap Billboard Locations

    Only old farts like us Jim:Big Laugh
  4. spindle difference

    Come to respect opinions and info on S101 so thought I would post quick question.... We're getting a new 408 Sabre with a spindle, it's replacing our old one that has the Porter Cable motor. What kind of adjustments should we expect, i.e. feed/plunge rates, bit differences? Just need your...
  5. 6x posts

    I'm with Si Allen on this one, these type of guys will run you around, drive ya nuts and then go postal when they hear the price. Plus a 4'x6' 20' in the air is going to look like crap and they won't realize until it's up and then say it's your fault! Save yourself the headache.:frustrated:
  6. Finding Cheap Billboard Locations

    Have you tried online yellow pages? Not many independents left, the big boys have bought them all out, plus state regulations make it almost impossible for the little guys. You almost have to have a team of lawyers:banghead:, that's the way it is around here anyway.
  7. Hello from the midwest

    Decided it's time to say hello (actually just figured out how to start a new post). Little background... graphic artist in newsprint 70's to late 80's, hired by my H.S. art teacher who inherited family sign business, started out pouncing billboard layouts with electro pouncer. Done a little of...
  8. Font issue 3.0

    Fred's a genius Fred, you're a genius :notworthy:! That's bugged me since Shovelhead was looking for that Friday. Thanks
  9. Gerber typeface?

    No this isn't Athletic Script, found it in my font CD but can't get it into Omega for some reason:banghead:. Anyway the "B" is all wrong.
  10. Gerber typeface?

    Athletic Script was the one with the big swashes, had it on my 4-B (doesn't get much older than that). Used to cut ruby for a screen printer for softball uniforms all the time. (Good old days:Big Laugh)
  11. How to remove ink from Steel Cup?

    I understand your situation, I like to be the go-to guy when a customer has a problem too (as long as they come to me next time they have money to spend!). I would imagine the cups are stainless, your not going to hurt them with acetone (or anything else you want to try) they're no good as they...
  12. Font Help

    That's either Eurostile or "Square 721".:rolleyes:
  13. 3M problem or install problem.

    Sounds like you're satisfied it's not something the customers done. Had the same thing happen a few years ago, the customer changed to stainless tanks which we had never done before and weren't aware of the special treatment stainless can need. We finally ended up wiping the surface down with...
  14. Install on stucco facade/styrofoam

    :banghead:The spacers go from the block to the outside of the "foam/stucco". If you damage the "foam/stucco" you are liable for it. We use 1/2'' PVC pipe, you drill a hole big enough to put the PVC pipe against the block, silicone good around the pipe to keep water out and your tapcons go...
  15. Welder Clipart

    That artwork is simple enough it would take longer to find something that will work than to recreate it. Some of you younger guys may not know anything about this but it's called pen and paper (or tool of your choice), really pretty simple, draw, scan, vectorize. The practice will do you good...
  16. pricing help

    :rock-n-roll:Shucks man you don't need no stinkin' harness, can't move in those things and OSHA, shoot those guys have bigger fish to fry they won't bother with us. And license and permits heck the bureaucrats, if they show up we act stupid, send em in to the owner then run for our truck. These...
  17. Inlaying Applique Letters?

    Artpath from Gerber has an "Auto Inlay" option, I'm the first to admit that Artpath is pretty "simplistic" compared to other programs, works perfect, rounds the corners off so the inlay fits seamlessly. I find it hard to believe the other more expensive routing programs don't. Look around...
  18. Gradient Prints Streaky

    Has it ever printed these gradients well? Has anything changed program wise? Different... If it has printed alright in the past may just be that you need to reload your Flexi. It's having problems with everything but whats generated in Flexi?? It can't be Corel and PS having the same identical...
  19. 4 foot by 5 foot hanging sign? Too big?

    Interior or exterior? On exterior signs we usually build a 1''x1'' sq. tube steel or aluminum frame and sandwich it between two HDU panels. The one attached has been up seven years approx. 42''x5':thumb:
  20. Font ID Anyone?

    Compacta, Commador or I've got a Swiss911 Condensed that if you put a bevel on it looks VERY close.:Big Laugh
