Any device that burns a carbon-based fuel uses up oxygen and releases carbon monoxide, which is a killer. The danger is that CO cannot be detected by smell, taste or sight. For many victims, by the time you realise you are being affected (poisoned) by it, it's too late. Many have died when they...

Is that what passes for good design & layout these days?

Another sad day for us old-time signwriters...

I'm not able to find this font and ask for assistance, please. It might be created by hand but I'd like to find a file that's as close as possible. TIA

Is there a source for sprocket-fed heat transfer vinyl (HTV) for the Gerber plotters? Preferably in Canada or US. I did try the search function first, but no luck there.

All those sign shops see are big dollars when I walk in. I can make my own signs at home so why pay them? Lol But I get your point. The auto industry fights hard to protect its right to repair. But I don't think anybody fixes there own electronic diagnostic equipment.

It looks like the back face was painted first, then glued. The strength of the bond is only as good as the weakest link and in your case, it looks like the bond between the paint and the HDU was the weak point. Hard to see, even with the minimum mounting used, how the sign would have just fallen...

Now that's a thorough response!

Yeah, I got the reason for not removing an installed sign. I thought I was playing along with the joke of the bat and gun, thinking it's a sight gag. It turns out it's not a joke. Wow, who knows what will happen when you crazy Americans pull out the weapons!

And pulling out a Louisville and .357 isn't way over the line?

Just an old signwriter exploring a few new things...

I've changed the names to protect the guilty. Years ago, I get a call to do a couple driveway entry signs for a restaurant's new owners. Pretty small job. Vlad is the contact person. Signs get done and installed on existing posts, all according to the request, exactly as ordered. I find out that...

Didn't you just say how taking a sign down was way over the line and "pretty stupid"? lol

The North American auto industry (I'm thinking GM to a large part - but not exclusively) has followed that plan for decades.

I know this isn't what was asked... but I would change the name text to read from the bottom up - bottom of letters parallel to the right side of the banner edge. The way they are in the image is pretty hard to read.

I was looking for a pen holder for my Gerber plotter but all of the very few I saw only had a short ink supply. Since I wanted something that held more ink and, being somewhat retired, I don't really count my time while working on a project of my own, I decided to just make my own. A test proved...

Any budding photographers in your area that would like a chance to have their work displayed and for sale? Personally, I could look at photos on the wall of my BMW bikes all day long.

Many years ago I was cutting some sandblast mask on my GSx. It worked well but I'm not sure how small the lettering might have been. Maybe an inch was the smallest I cut.

This opening statement is too juicy to pass up. While not the forum to fully explore this, I'll suggest that most Americans do not know how they are viewed around the world. Shoot me down if you wish (pun intended). For full disclosure, I'm Canadian and my interactions with Americans over the...
