  1. Sign world 2015

    I guess they finally got the schedule up. Absolutely nothing interesting... http://www.ussc.org/SignWorld-Seminars.php
  2. Sign world 2015

    I have been looking at the ussc.org site thinking about sign world this December. We say it every year that it's getting smaller, and the list of scheduled vendors seems to be shrinking. Also proof that attendance is down is they seem to be recycling photos from past years (the only reason I...
  3. Why do I like Fellers?

    That's odd. I've gotten the wrong material before, and called at almost 7 (my time), and got answer. Explained what happened, and they would send it the next day. They have even covered for a UPS foul up. UPS forgot to pick up my package, so fellers shipped a second roll overnight. All I...
  4. Sad - Sad news.................................

    I saw the initial report, but didn't hear that he put it on youtube, or that his suicide attempt had failed. I feel for the families of the victims.
  5. FUNNY , but also a question ?

    That's like the guy that sold the empty PS3 box and all the packing for something like $300-$400. People don't read the entire listing, and think they are getting a good deal...And that is what the seller is hoping, that someone will come along, and see it, think its a great deal, and make and...
  6. Anyone here build their own CNC?

    I'd like more info on the panel saw. Did you have plans, or out of your mind... I need one, and would love to build my own.
  7. Most expensive sign you have crafted?

    I built a 6' x 12' double sided changeable copy sign with a decorative top for a little over $12k. I am working on selling some dimensional signs to a wealth management company. They want signs that portray wealth, so I am proposing smalts and 23k gold. That should be in the $15k range.
  8. Windows 10

    I have a HP laptop that has 8.1, and thought I'd try W10. I upgraded yesterday, and I hated it so much that I went back to 8.1 today. I had several issues with it locking up, specifically the task bar at the bottom of the page. It wouldn't even let me go to a browser window if I minimized it...
  9. Another smalts sign

    I am working on a Smalts sample/Christmas present for my brother in law that owns a tattoo parlor. This is 15 lb sign foam, with the background routed out. I painted it black, and applied black one shot and smiths cream 50/50 mix. The smalts was given to me by Michael Clanton. He had won it...
  10. Small sandblasted signs with colors

    I agree. If he is saying it is too small to sandblast, my question is why? Is he worried about the mask not sticking because the detail is too fine, could it be routed?
  11. Looking for help with my logo...

    x1000... Like you, I couldn't ever come up with anything I liked, so I took the plunge, and asked Phillip to help. He knocked it out of the park, and I later asked him to layout a business card for me, and he nailed it first try... I really like the top logo you posted...
  12. GG vs Sledgehammer -or- if i had a hammer i'd...

    And where did you get that? I would like to see more photos of it. I need to clean and organize my shop better, and I think something like that would fit the bill nicely.
  13. Thinking about getting back into the trade, sort of

    Unfortunately, you are asking something along the lines of which is better, Ford or Chevy? (And to clear that up, it's Dodge, :ROFLMAO:) The best thing is to use the search function. This topic is covered at least once a week...
  14. Thinking about getting back into the trade, sort of

    I'm sure that they make phenomenal boat anchors. To cut vinyl, not so much. They are loud, slow, and not very reliable. They may run fine for a while, but when something breaks, wears out, or what ever, where will you get parts? How accurate will it be? I have no experience with them...
  15. Dimensional sign.

    That's pretty cool. :thumb:
  16. Good source for wood routed gold leaf sign?

    There is a gentleman in east canaan ct, by the name joe cieslowski that does carved gilded signs. I believe he may be a member here, if not, let me know and I will see if I can locate his number for you.
  17. Making an outline imperfect

    Easiest way I can think of is node editing. Just randomly select a node and move it....
  18. Need Advice on routing sign foam...

    Thanks. I tried the bondo, and it worked perfectly. The tips that broke out were so fine, you won't see a color difference. I ran the router 1/2 speed, with 4 passes, as opposed to a single pass.
