4" x 4" x 1/4" wall tubes on 12" x 12" x 1" thick baseplates? For a 4' x 6' ACM panel? How strong are the winds where you live? Where I work (& other places I previously worked), we would use 3" x 3" x 1/8" aluminum tubes on 6" x 6" x 3/8" baseplates. Installation would be w/ either ø3/8" wedge...

I'm well aware of what at-will labor laws are and what they allow under law, but I'm fairly certain they don't cover an employer arbitrarily deducting money from an employee's paycheck, which is for hours that have already been worked and not for any future hours that the employee can/will work...

If I was one of those employees, I would have been on the phone with the Dept. of Labor in about 3 seconds. I'm fairly certain it is illegal to take money from a person's check w/o proof that they did anything wrong. Using the "logic" of docking everyone because no one admitted fault, the owner...

What if more than one employee used that vehicle in between inspections? How do you determine who is at fault for missing/broken tools so the correct employee has their paycheck docked?

I wouldn't think EPS foam letters are durable enough to have people (kids is probably a more accurate descriptor) sitting on and climbing all over them. I know the foam gets sprayed with a hard coat but is that strong enough to keep the letters from being destroyed from the interaction?

Why not design some posters yourself - parodies of existing ones would be cool. Maybe take the same movie and show how the art would be designed if the movie was released in different decades or eras. Show off some design skills to your customers and a starting point for a discussion with them...

I suppose it depends on what type of customer you are providing your work to. I've always worked for companies that don't really deal with someone who wants to buy a banner for a retirement party or a yard sign for a high school graduate. For people wanting those sort of items, my current...

So you're saying if you had a $10k project, which you estimated your cost as being $7k but only cost you $6k to produce, you would only bill your customer for $9k because the customer should benefit from your efficiency/hard work/skill/whatever-helped-you-save-$1k instead of you? In 25 years...

You took $30 off the price after you completed the work? If the customer was already agreeable to the original price that was quoted, why would you give money back & make less profit on the job? I wish my mechanic would do that! "Yeah, I know I said it would take 5 hours @ $100/hour but, since...

Milling is more than a somewhat different operation - it is a totally different operation. I've never heard anyone in my career (25+ years) refer to cutting shapes as milling. As long as I've been around, milling is removing material & cutting is, well, cutting out shapes. Maybe the terminology...

I'd be careful putting stickers on storefront. In many jurisdictions that is considered vandalism and getting arrested probably isn't the kind of advertising you should invest in.

Go to Michael's. They all kinds of different moulding profiles and their prices are pretty decent.

Steel Art or US Sign would probably be your best bet. Fabricating letters that deep would not be very easy as you can't weld them from the inside because, obviously, you aren't going to fit a welding gun inside those deep returns. Instead, you would have to make your welds on the outside & that...

I have to disagree w/ you on dafont.com. The greater majority of what's available there are either designed poorly, produced even worse (it seems many of these font "designers" have never heard of kerning), or demo versions that are missing glyphs & other weights. Many of the available fonts...

I see it now! It's a crying cyclops w/ a rather large mole growing on the side of it's mouth!

I haven't found Gemini to be expensive in the least - especially for metal letters. Their buying power for materials and their quantity of scale in production keeps their costs wicked way down. Plus all the labor drilling, tapping, gluing pads, pattern making, etc. is handled by them which frees...

It's a logo that has no meaning that is used to attract attention and draw people in to the business to ask an employee what in the Wide Wide World of Sports the logo means. Then, hopefully, while the inquirer is in the establishment, they will buy a fancy froo-froo $14 coffee and a $18...

I think all of the vendors I've worked with have maxed out at 14'-16'. It's good to know about Faces going to 20'! I'll have to file that away in the memory bank in the event I should need a pan-formed face that large.
