I've never personally used them, but I've had THESE bookmarked for a while in the event I find myself in your situation. They look like they would work well.

Can't say I've ever seen it done. Seeing all of the typical commercials this morning for local businesses (carpet cleaning, plumbers, electrcians), it made me wonder why you never see commercials for sign companies. Seems like advertising anything from channel letters to dimensional letters to...

Thanks guys!! The machine is apparently temperamental. It's one of those 'when it works, it works great' things...

You could get away with four, but I'd use some Lexel in a few spots. If no fasteners is a must, VHB tape a couple/few strips of .125" aluminum to the back that have threaded studs welded to them. I'd still use Lexel with țhat method.

I gotchya! Thank you!

Paint the screws to match the face. Use the pan head type Spax from Home Depot. They make for a pretty clean install.

Yeah, it could always be better. But again, it was basically done as a favor, so I'm not one to pick stuff like that apart and complain about it. :) Thanks, Rick! Only if it's one that I installed.

Just thought this came out pretty cool. It was basically done as a favor by one of the vendors I use.

My two cents: Use a vertical seam rather than horizontal. Place the vertical seam on one of the raised ribs. A piece of VHB tape the length of the panels will keep the seam even. Use THESE the length of the seam (and elsewhere on the panels), paint-to-match the faces ahead of time.

Sold.

I've literally only used this a handful of times and no longer have a use for it. Excellent condition, some minor scuff marks. Asking $95 shipped. Open to offers.

Every municipality is different, but chances are you need both a license and some pretty stout insurance. You need to go find that out from your municipality - not from a forum.

That's my concern as well. I'm baffled by some of the posts on the forum. You're making channel letters, but don't know the terminology let alone the very basics of how to build them. Do you know how to attach them to the wall so they don't fall and hurt/kill someone? Are you licensed to...

By 'frames' do you mean the cabinet? This is said out of concern: Some of the posts on this forum make me wonder how people are building/modifying electrical signs when the terminology being used isn't even close to industry terminology. I said this in another post I just made: I'm not...

What you're referring to as 'channel letter signs' are called 'returns' and 'backing of the letters' are called 'backs'. Not trying to be a jerk. It's Signs 101...if you're going to be manufacturing them, might as well know the industry terms. Pop riveting or stapling are going to be your best bet.

Replacing other letters with z's and x's isn't necessarily my taste, but there are some pretty successful companies that take that approach. Would I do it? No.

Your portfolio looks great! There's some really nice work in there. One thing I noticed: Your logo and your Contact page both say 'Graphics' but everywhere else on the site says 'Graphic' - even your web address. That aside, your work and the site looks really nice, good job.

Sounds similar to my night. A little Buffalo Trace and home made Italian food.

Thanks, Gino!
