  1. Viable Alternatives to SIGNS365?

    I thought the same thing, why wouldn't they just hit reprint and call it a day, but then I thought about it and came to the realization I would do the same thing. As someone else mentioned they probably make next to nothing on an $11 order. Now put yourself in their shoes and replay this...
  2. Anyone interested in a Wazer waterjet cutter?

    I was really interested in them until I looked at the cut speeds and stuff, would be super fun to play around with but I just don't see it getting much practical use. Sounds like your experience confirms that notion. I was surprised at the garnet usage but really that's no big deal if you are...
  3. Halo letter construction

    I would look into UL catalog as that might give you the manufacturer (if its not actually gemini). I would take a look but don't have the time tonight, keep us posted if you find them, they are useful. Maybe put a call into MBS standoffs, they have really been stepping up their game.
  4. Halo letter construction

    Mcmaster has some plastic ones but not clear. https://www.mcmaster.com/corner-brackets/material~plastic/
  5. Question IS GRIMCO LIKE THIS WITH EVERYTHING?

    Depends on your rep but yes, definitely a game that they play, and a silly one at that. I used to have a rep that stopped by the shop and wrote a list of everything we used commonly and a few things we might get from them if pricing was good. He called a few days later and said he adjusted our...
  6. Rain, Ice, Snow sandwiched by summer weather

    Not sure exactly why but this winter has seemed to be extra long, I'm over the double digits below zero and ready for the spring thaw.
  7. Import PDF files

    No problems so far for me.
  8. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    Wishlist vs budget....
  9. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    Me as well, getting a DOT number and physical is no big deal and essentially free, a bigger lift and trailer plus a big truck MIGHT put you past 26,000 but I doubt the setup was that big? I have thought about going with an all-terrain scissor lift and trailer, it is so nice to have the work area...

  11. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    Also look up Rick Williams articles on his little setup and how he has used different lifts over the years, some good insights from a pretty clever dude.
  12. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    No offense intended, but it sounds like you have a lot of research to do. Unless you are VERY rural and not worried about liability and working for/by yourself, fitting a new or different basket is basically a non option. Out of curiosity I looked into putting a different basket on a 10 year old...
  13. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    Look all over the country and contact some of the good manufacturers and tell them what you are looking for and have them keep an eye out. I bought my first truck last fall (old 35' elliot ) and mostly bought it because it was a great deal. Depending on what you are doing and who you are working...
  14. CNC Machinist New to Sign Making

    Signs by van has put out some good videos in collaboration with duna. There are tons of bits available, hop on toolstoday and start spending money lol.
  15. A little office remodeling this past weekend....

    Nice reception desk ;), I put steelart and gemini samples in ours and customers love to fidget with them and ask questions.
  16. the mysterious black box

    I couldn't replicate myself. What flexi and os are you on, what mail client, what image format? When you paste into an email is it putting it in the message or adding it as an attachment?
  17. HDU primer

    Awesome info Geoff, I will have to pick some up and give it a go!
  18. HDU primer

    Also, whats your guilding process look like (assuming you guild over your primer)?
  19. HDU primer

    I scanned through the tech pdf on your site, how many coats do you usually do (I know its says 2 recommended, but do you do more than 2 sometimes?) for carved or blasted areas with texture (wood grain) how are you applying? If you spray, what is the equipment set up? Seams like a long time...
  20. Question 4 sided sign frame

    Then if you are doing higher volume and need to scale, contact a local extruder and give them samples of what you need and price out running a batch that will last a quarter or half years time.
