  1. A touchy subject

    There you go again. Actually, I said in my original post "We had to set them up in the office and showroom to paint because it's the cleanest room in the shop", so you essentially called me a liar. What got me was that someone could be so hateful as to take little digs at someone who they don't...

    Good idea. One which says "Hepatitis C and HIV positive"

    Well, how do the rules apply and what do the moderators consider "dislikeable forms" of feedback?

    So now you're judging my motives. wow!

    Doesn't help, they just tap/scratch the samples on the walls of the showroom. I had a rope to keep people behind the sales counter but kind of hate to go that route again

    My Wife has been surface painting these two signs. We had to set them up in the office and showroom to paint because it's the cleanest room in the shop. When customers come in, they just have to tap them with their fingernails so my Wife put up this friendly little sign on the one which is...

    Thanks!
  9. Cutting a Bigfoot Figure

    This is a foam cutting contraption I built a number of years ago. I used it to cut 3D letters and a monument sign. Now it's just sitting there in the shop but I want to dust it off and use it to cut a 10 ft tall "bigfoot". I was of thinking of cutting the front view from one vector image...

    Rats, I got the job. Already have 5 sign projects in the works including 12 dimensional signs, a timber frame sign structure, and a panel truck, and it's just me and my wife. Looks like we'll be busy for awhile. I shouldn't complain; There was a time when I was hungry for work, but I also run an...

    I emailed the client a quote, considerably higher than the one in 2017. I did explain that the new signs would be machined entirely on the CNC, and not sandblasted as before. I mentioned that my customers are very happy with the CNC textured backgrounds we do. Have not heard back. I'm already as...

    I checked the cost of hdu back then and the price has increased by 42%

    Cut them to length, rip the rounded edges off on a tablesaw with a planer blade, carefully set to 90 degrees, using featherboards for accuracy, flip them so the grain alternates, laminate with west system epoxy. Oh yeah I remember those days. I have two boards left...clear all-heart vertical...

    I'm sure they do better in some climates, and I love the look of re3al wood but, here in Florida, from my experience, HDU does better than redwood and west coast cedar, especially the cedar. I still have a good amount of nice clear, all-heart, vertical grain redwood in my shop. Willing to sell...

    Thanks. HDU. Sandblasted. But I quit sandblasting a few years ago, sold all my equipment. We only CNC now.
