My table is that size, and i'll give you a hand if you need... www.harborsales.net local distributor with a couple of routers

I'd offer my table, but the widest I can get is 45", roughly. Whats your turn around time? Have you tried harbor sales? They could knock that out pretty cheap...

Getting old, my a^£*...your only 25....wish I was that young. Have a good one.

I hate asking this, mainly because I hate Avery, but does anyone know of a replacement of the true shadow vinyl? I'm looking for some for a project that I will be working on, and Avery has discontinued the material. TIA, Mark

SignManiac... :notworthy: Yeah, my brain hurts after thinking about it... I'm going to let the smoke clear from my office, and take a second look tomorrow... Thanks....

I have this layout and the customer wanted something "bright" to catch attention on the side of a busy highway. I suggested black letters on a yellow board (this is going to be 8' x 4' x 10 mm yellow coro), and they thought it would be a good idea... so I came up with a couple of ideas...

Welcome from the Eastern Shore of Maryland... I have said it time and time again... I worked at a large sign company that decided they needed to buy a printer (years ago, so it was an Encad NovaJet, water based). We did the research, got the printer, rip, materials, even sent me to Ohio for...

I have asked what the clients budget was, and I have gotten lowball answers as well as a somewhat truthfull answer... but you have to remember to the customer its a game of lets get the best sign for as little possible, and we are trying to get as much as possible... What I hate the most is...

Looking back on my life, I should be past the "D"...never thought I'd live to see 30... Now that I'm in my 40's, I look in the mirror, see another gray hair, or another wrinkle, and think what I wouldn't give for those days back...

+1... You, Sir, are a master. :notworthy:

If I remember correctly, Harbor has them.

I know where your coming from. In my particular situation, I relocated to Maryland from Mississippi to work at a national sign supplier. While there, I reached out to other sign guys in the area, and met "Bob" that had the only shop in the town that I live in (neighboring town to where the...

Joe, I'd like to see your complete list of customer #'s... The problem that I see, you lack confidence in your ability as a sign guy and you may be "cutting your teeth" on a new customer. What you really need to do is examine the way that you conduct business. This is what I learned...

I agree that I think your over thinking the top of the sign. Make sure that you engineer the foundation to withstand. Also check out this book: http://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Sign-Structures-Introduction-Analysis/dp/0944094309/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b I have both, but I use the spreadsheet...

One of the first things I learned was that unless everyone knows you, you must emphasize what you are offering. Buy Dan A's books and study them. Get a subscription to signcraft mag. Like the others have said, stickers are what you get out of the quarter machine at the grocery store.

I know you want to come up with something on your own, but what you've posted just ain't working. Tell us more about your background. How did you get this assignment? Past experience? 1st thing you need to do is invest in Dan Antonelli's books. Get the Mike Stevens layout book and then read...

If they are anything like they are here, it don't matter what you price them at...it will still be too much. I don't even bid the local police cars here anymore. They get min (3) bids, and the good ol' boy network kicks in, and the Sheriff calles his buddy that he goes goose hunting with, "...

Hey guys, I have a client that is asking for some small decals to put onto their portable propane tanks. They got some from a competitor, and they are not happy that they peel right off... Is there a material that can be digitally printed that has a very aggressive adhesive? I was looking...
