  1. How long is a quote/estimate good for at your shop?

    "ALL QUOTES GOOD FOR 30 DAYS" is at the bottom of our quote forms. I can't remember the last time someone brought an older quote back that had to be adjusted though, it's really just on there as a cover your butt kind of thing.
  2. Should USCUtter accept Bitcoin payments?

    Accept bitcoin if you trust it and you think you can convert it into products you can use (i.e. paying the power bill). It's no different than trading a plotter for car repairs or sign work for a lawn mower. Personally I think the bitcoin concept is great but with no real backing (like the...
  3. How to instantly convince a customer that their sign is working....

    Lettered a trailer yesterday for a pressure washing company. He came to pick it up this morning laughing that he'd already gotten two jobs from it and he hadn't even gotten it out of my parking lot yet. Third time I remember that happening.
  4. Grand Format Banner East Coast

    Yes, Georgia Printco's quality is good and they're dang nice people to work with. If you're blind drop shipping this directly from the printer you won't have to worry about it.
  5. How much time do you estimate for employee to hem & grommet 15 banners?

    I would expect him to take about 20 minutes to knock out the printing, hemming, and grommets. Of course we just sub it out because there's no way I can print them in house and do all the finishing for what I pay signs2trade. :wink:
  6. Let him name the cost or not?

    I was always told that if they whine and complain that you're charging them too much but they keep using you then your pricing is correct.
  7. Sheet Metal Shear

    Yep....we had that exact one when we had our printshop. I sheared somewhere around a billion sheets of coro and aluminum with it. It will shear .080 just fine, you just have to add a little more persuasion. Built pretty solid. If you're doing a lot of cutting look at a shear with stop blocks...
  8. ASI Show...SCAM?

    They're trying to get butts in the door. Vendors won't exhibit next year if nobody shows up this year.
  9. looking for a price on having 2 banners printed.

    I know you said you wanted people to email you quotes but I'll post it since it's a flashing ad up there in the corner. You're gonna have a hard time beating the price of Signs2trade.com The two banners, with shipping, will run you about $58. Quality is outstanding, turn around is usually...
  10. Throwback Thursday: post your first set of wheels.

    Me too! 1976 Pontiac Sunbird with 140 cubic inches of pure, raw, untamed horsepower. If I wanted to pass someone I had to back off of them about 100 yards and floor it so I'd have a running start when I got to them. Didn't matter....that POS was freedom! Car was $200....the stereo was...
  11. Burning Man?

    Wanted to do it for a long time but Black Rock was just too far from Alabama. Then the money was just too much. Then kids. Still on my bucket list but won't happen in the next five years.
  12. Prepping alupanel, DiBond, etc. for painting?

    What they said...scuff with 400, clean, paint. Usually I clean them with denatured alcohol....mainly because it's the only cleaner on the table so it's easiest to reach.
  13. Facebook Shill

    Like me too dammit. I suck, I've only got about 20 likes. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Signs-In-Seconds/234501666565577
  14. Refunding a deposit......from 5 years ago????

    You figured that out before you refunded it didn't you? I've got one of those jobs floating out there. Had a customer pre-pay for a rather large order for Gemini letters. He knew his size and copy but wanted to take my color chips so he could look at the colors against the wall (I had three...
  15. City logo design critique

    This is really more of a (paid) favor for a really good friend. She'll get a gradient version, spot color version, and a black/white version. There won't be a logo guide, she wouldn't pay attention to it anyway. This is really just a short-term use kind of thing, she'll use it on regional...
  16. City logo design critique

    Doesn't seem like embroidery would be that big a deal. Convert the bridge to a solid light blue and the rest is just basic embroidery.
  17. Helmet wraps

    Aluminum foil?
  18. Helmet wraps

    My kid.
  19. City logo design critique

    Sophia Script by Chuck Davis with a few minor adjustments here and there.
  20. City logo design critique

    Man that's handy...if nothing else it made me realize I've got some horrendous fonts loaded.
