Hey Arlo, no I never worked there, but went to the auction they had when the shop closed, maybe 20-25 years ago. Bought a set of gold leaf, carved letters that spelled out SIGNS. Still have them displayed in my shop, beautiful darned things. They were part of the display on the side of the...

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Arlo, That was Beason Signs. I think the guys name was Sonny Fredrick. Great old shop, did a lot of screen printing. The building is still there, now a restaurant. Louisville is still a great place, Like they say: Home of beautiful horses and fast women...

Hey Guys and Gals (especially you Helen :) Thanks for all the feedback on the Sign Boot so for. My intentions where just that, to get feedback and get a feel for if this thing has legs, not to sell them to you. However, through this forum I've had requests for purchase, but the shipping costs...

Good question. The spike holes are only recessed about 1/4" to give plenty of strength once hammered into the ground. If the slot were to go from end to end, it would allow the Boot to possibly "open" in some conditions. The 3/8" slot opening gives a nice tight grip fit to 10mm substrates, the...

Holy crap Brian, sorry bout that! As my old football coach use to say "You aren't very quick, but your slow!"

I hear ya Salmoneye! I once had a whole field of sideline panels in the Cotton Bowl get blown accross the field like combies when a huge black storm circled, then swooped down on the field. In the course of 5 minutes, the field had 2' feet of water, knocked out the live TV feed (thank goodness)...

Good morning Helen, Yes, we have other designs and sizes in the works, but for now, this is the only model available. I'll certainly post her when new models are out. These Boots will most definitely work indoors, but honestly, there are probably better, cheaper, lighter options. Frankly, I...

Gino, Your right, don't know that the 1/4" will last for two years. But I can tell you that during the time we've been testing, we hav'nt had a problem, and we've had some hell fire storms! So, I'm betting that it will. Thats kinda the reason I'm feelin pretty good about this product. At first I...

Gino, point taken, and it was a bit of a pitch, you know, trying to make a buck. But I've always viewed the installation part as a necessary evil, in that my guys or myself could make more money making signs in the shop or on sales calls. I've been very lucky that in the past 15 years, with the...

Thanks Border, Thats one of the best ways I see them being used. The Boot stays in the ground, while you get to make repeated signs for the customer. They can change them themselves very easily, so you don't have to install for them. I've been in the sign business for over 30 years, and I don't...

OK, as long as your not all the way pissed off ;) There are a couple of ways to view the pictures. You can touch either the left or right arrows to rotate the pictures. Or, click on one of the pictures in the background. Or, If your mouse has a roller, you can"roll" through the carousel of...

Mike, Thanks for that. The 10mil Coroplast works very well indeed. I had the plant in Vanceburg, Ky. cut some 4'x8' sheets with the flutes running the 4' direction. They actually run it some 98"wide through the extruder. It's just a matter of how they cut the extrusion. With the flutes running...

Yep! That's all it is. If you'd like to know where to buy the speed bump let me know. They are a few dollars cheaper, and they come with a pocket knife to whittle your own slot and holes! Is it cocktail hour yet?

Nice John! Hey, you might have something there! And did it a damn site quicker than I did. Good luck with that. How much is it? How bout some engineered wind load studies? Hey, all in fun, appreciate you humor.
