  5. what the !^€; is wrong with people? part....too high to count

    Let me rephrase. The clerk is the one that asked about having it done for a side business . The owner is a nice guy, but hardly ever there.
  6. what the !^€; is wrong with people? part....too high to count

    I stopped in the local hardware store to pick up some bolts for a project I was working on. The guy that works in there asked me how much a rear window perf would run, and I asked him size. He gives me the "rough size " so I give him a rough price... He said that he didn't think that was...
  7. I'm not sure how to handle this....how would you?

    I understand, but how do you get a quote from an outside company, in this instance, the channel letter manufacturer without something to show them. You can't just call them up and say " I need to know how much a set is going to cost, but I don't know what they are going to look like, not real...
  8. I'm not sure how to handle this....how would you?

    At the first of April, I got a message from a lady through LinkedIn interested in a set of channel letters. I accepted her, and met with her a few days later. She is moving in to a location that just went through a new renovation. I contacted the management company, got the spec's, created a...
  9. Any FastSigns franchise owners?

    Not to be a d $^k, but the search function is your friend. If you enter franchise, there's 40 pages of results. Not all are relevant, but looking at the title will help. I remember a post last year abut the horror stories of being a franchise owner. I've never bought into the hype...
  10. Need some guidance

    +1. I did some for a local 1% er, to go on his Harley, and he was going to clear over it. I was a little cautious, because I know how these guys are about their bikes, but once it was done, it looked great. I was a little surprised when he walked up to me at the local ABATE Labor Day party...
  11. TV advertising for signs?

    There is a sign company sort of local to me (45 minutes away), and they run an ad on tv. I see it in the mornings, during the local news. I don't know what their cost or the return is. They are a pretty large company, so we never really compete.
  12. Before & After

    Nice job. I do have a question. How did you bond the alumalite together?
  13. Do you charge extra for boats installs in the water?

    Never thought about a change of clothes...that makes sense. The advantage is this is the Chester River, so when I drop my favorite squeegee, I won't see it laying on the bottom, taunting me. It will disappear from sight about 6" down...
  14. Do you charge extra for boats installs in the water?

    I just went and looked at a couple of boats that need relettered, which means I have to pull the old vinyl off, and reinstall the new vinyl. The problem is the boats are both in the water. Both are too large to remove to dry dock. One boat has a small side deck with a rail, so I would have to...
  15. Sliding miter saw for cutting extrusions

    As long as you have the correct blade, you should be fine. I did work for a company that had a sliding mitersaw set up to cut alum, and they had a hold down bar that helped hold the extrusion down. It was a piece of square tubing that was hinged on the table that the saw was mounted to. It had a...
  16. Multiple layers of translucent film on backlit sign

    Cut the yellow and nest in the red. Red on yellow b/g will glow orange at night....

    thanks Fred...
  18. font help please...

    I just can't seem to nail this one down... Thanks in advance.
  19. sometimes customers just make me want to scream....

    I did a sign for a local business several years ago... I was kind of proud of it. Granted the graphic wasn't the best, but I think the lettering colors really worked well, and all in all, I claimed this one.... Well, over the weekend, I drove by it, and this is what I see.... I...
  20. Fast Font -------->

    See attached. I just copied the letter (and this is just an arial bold font) to the left, outlined the original letter and made the out line white. The little section is a lighter shade... Just my two pennies in the bucket. There is also Barbatrick (font), but it is a pain to weed,
