    Got about a dozen 25"x66" tabletop glass shadowboxes, that the client wants to cover (opaque or high diffuse) from view, but quickly/easily remove on grand-opening day to reveal the contents within. I don't really do temporary stuff so this category eludes me, any thoughts on cheap options...

  12. small office sign frames - supplier/source?

    recognize these? Looking to find wherever my client/previous sign company may have ordered these from, over a decade ago, before I quote based on fabricating from scratch.
