I'm with everyone on the whole new thing of people getting into the
sign industry. They only want to make stickers for themselves and this and that. Well were not the only industry with this problem. The new building i took over for my
sign shop, was a welding business. Been in business for about 75 years. Well i do weld, race cars and personal stuff mostly. I told the guy that owned the business that i'd go ahead and still do some small welding for customers that still came in. Well one stopped in the other day. He only wanted to buy steel cause it was to expensive to go buy from the local steel plant. Told him we would be glad to sell him the steel and weld it for him, he said no i bought a welder i just need the steel. I told him where he can go buy at it at full retail price. So see it's not just our industry. HOWEVER ours is the worst for the hobbiest trying to get into it. If your in it for a hobby, then you learn by trial and error. Not come in asking us to give you all the tricks, and then not be able to give anything back.
