  2. Wanted: Scrap diamond grade reflective pieces

    We usually have a ton in our shop but we have been donating it to some schools around town for art projects, as well as a big mural thing for construction safety we have been working on forever.
  3. How are these made?

    We have brought some of these through our shop before and they are screen printed. The overlay films are nice to work with but aren't very economical in terms of labour or price when you compare it to screen printing.

  10. Does anyone have a CNC Plasma cutter?

    On the water jet, I have heard consumables as well as maintenance are a real pain and quite expensive, as well as being quite slow compared to a plasma. How much volume do you cut with your CNC Router? We buy around 300-400 blanks a month so it would need to do quite a bit of volume and most of...
  11. What does everyone think of this? Sign Concept...

    The idea was to use the regulatory signage, the background on the sign itself is another regulatory sign up here. I didn't even think of using what is on our website. But that concept looks pretty cool. What about the website itself, What do you think of that?
