Look into your local real estate sign installer, they usually warehouse the signs for the agents that use them and will install a post for a set fee in a specific range. Making a good relationship with these outfits could lead to additional sales and a cheaper source for posts (they buy them in...

We use a setup similar to yours (5x10) but rarely cut on that matt, if we are planning to make cuts we slide an old matt under the area we are cutting. Occasionally its not worth the hastle and we just cut on the main matt. Doing this will at least double the life of the matt, ours current one...

As others have mentioned I think they are changing/developing their business and models to "reinvent" themselves. The quoting has definitely gotten less consistent in the last few years, I usually quote online and then send for a final quote before ordering. Usually the quote prepared by them is...

Welcome to the forum. I have a similar background (mechanical engineering with a wide variety of manufacturing experience) and might be able/willing to help you out. I have experience with most of the cad packages (solidworks, autocad, ProE, Fusion360, onshape, and even some catia back in the...

I agree with fuzzycam, and I ran into your exact same issue last week trying to find a newly added color. I was trying to figure out a source that lists what colors were added to what revision but was unsuccessful. The closest I came was finding that solid coated v4 cameout in Sep. 2019 (see...

Could rig up something with these or come up with a similar slotted wedge type fastening system (think pallet racking beams). Unless you know exactly how its made you will likely be the only one able to service it without destroying it ha ha. https://mbs-standoffs.com/products/button-fix?sort=sku!

I would suspect that some of the aluminum price jumps are to help cover the big jump steel price

I havent noticed the climb in aluminum yet, but a friend who is a purchaser for a large manufacturer said his steel pricing went up 100% last quarter. I frequently use coremark metals (used to be discount steel) and last week they had to call me back and charge me more for my already placed web...

r is like Mementor, g is similar to Memphis, cant find a matching s anywhere....Help font gurus! IMG_1242 by Evan Gillette posted Jan 22, 2021 at 10:41 AM

Get a quote from Quality Manufacturing (twin cities) they are good to work with, make sure you measure at least twice!

Awesome work, even for those using other user interfaces for database type job tracking (we are on airtable right now) it helps to explain how records are linked and multiple tables are used. Keep up the good worked. Subscribed!

I'd be interested to see if anyone has ventured to use products other than g2g and how they held up. The stuff is super cheap on eBay amazon etc., but the name brand stuff is quite expensive (relatively). There is always money to be made if you have the right customer, if you have had several...

This site used to have a free calculator and you could pay for stamped drawings, they just switched to a subscription service. I think they still have some cheap generic plans that you can use for most small signs. If you look through the resources on that site they have an excellent description...

Hello, what are you looking to get for the Leister welder, how old is it and I am assuming you are willing to ship? Thanks, Evan

From my experience the last couple years dealing with similar questions I would get ahold of a broker who is experienced with BOP (business owner policy) or TPP (tailored protection policy). The recommended coverage really depends a lot on who you trust, what you do most, and what risk you want...

Brad and others thanks again for sharing your experience, it is tremendously helpful for us with years less experience!

Thanks for the info Brad! I enjoy learning from others experience when they are willing to share. I do not have a film gauge yet but plan to get one as I continue experimenting. I forgot to mention that the topcoat for my test was done as two passes per the PDS recommendation (assuming I...

I agree that a 2k poly (acrylic polyurethane for those learning) is by far the best, I personally prefer Mathews, but it is often over complicated and cost prohibitive for some projects. This is especially true for shops that outsource painting. As stated in the original post I wanted to explore...

An update on what I have experimented with so far: Based on a recommendation I tried some sherwin-williams "extreme bond primer" top coated with their "all surface enamel" in high gloss, I used the latex version but they also have an oil based option of the same paint. I couldn't get an...
