  1. Getting Ready to Take the Plunge -- What to Do About Health Insurance

    Yeah it is. F@#$K I didnt want to get political. Keep it light. What I see as a outsider is you guys blame pure greed for the reason your healthcare sucks. Your "way of doing things" has been so ingrained in your life that is such a hard way to see any other way of doing things. In Canada...

  7. Trying to age a newly painted sign

    When I have had to do the aged look I do it when applying, as others have said. I find lately past 3-5 years everything has the aged look. So much easier to do signs this way, IMO. Almost just do a crummy job and your half way there. I suppose 10 years ago everything had to be super crisp?

  15. Life size double sided cut out . How to stand?

    I was worried about this. I guess everybody thinks this is stupid? We'll you know what they say ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Atleast I would like a stupid answer. No, Im thinking the whole entire thing has to be a custom base I don't think any pre made stand would hold up.
