I have seen plans in some of the wood working plans books. The ones that I have seen is made of 2" x 6" treated and sheets of plywood. They hinge at the closed end, and have a caster on the bottom to swing out, remove the material, and swing back up against the wall for out of the way storage.

:covereyes: I'm not real sure to say about that comment!

Yeah, I know what you mean. You know its bad when you have to add a shelf to the wall behind your desk to put your monitor on to raise it above the crap on your desk.... I built a work table from 2"x4"s, just cut the legs, add a runner at the top to lay a sheet of material (I used MDF from...

I wish I had the wall space for one, as well... but I have stared reading a handyman how to book called Shop Notes, and I got hold of some back issues, and they show how to build a couple of different styles of panel saws. The one that I was goign to originally build, instead of sliding the...

Count me in...I'll just have to get photos.... And I'll make sure that I get a shot of the ancient computer that drives it with the Windows 98 start up screen in the background...

Ha Ha, I got you beat... I paid $1500 for my POS Gerber, and like you it has made me lots of money. Mine is so bad, I have to increase the size 1.05% just to be the correct size, and I can't figure out why it does that. One thing to go for is table size. Mine is 27" x 48", and I can panel...

+1... and tech service is second to none. Yeah, you may have to leave a message, but they do call back, and for me, its always been the the same day.

+1. But offer them the alternate of purchasing the logo (at a premium, no discounts), just as you would for any other client. Did you give them anything with their logo on it that they can (and will) take to the other shop to see if they can recreate the logo? Use this as a learning...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that.

Gas and a match? I try to keep my scraps down to a minimum, because it takes over before I know it... I started to throw it away, but I fill up my files with some decals and sell them to a local stereo shop to sell.

I've working on a couple of routed logos to install for a local manufacturer, due in a week and a half, but I'm going on vacation that week...So it's going to be installed next Friday, along with (2) gemini sets of letters and a vinyl wall saying for the local Y. Then I've got a dozen tee...

Actually, my customer does something with weapons systems...I'm not really sure... The problem is that people are so snowed to think that AutoCAD is so great... I went to night school to learn to use it, and was really proficient with it, and thought that it was all that, but when I saw how...

I tried and it went all wonky... But you got me to thinking, so I converted the outlines to objects, then deleted the original line. Thought it was going to work like a charm, until I took a close look at the arcs...then I realized that they all flatlined... Well, I'm back to...

Hey, guys. I have a logo from a customer that they supplied, and they can only send it in DWG and DXF formats. The problem that I'm running into is when I bring it into corel, the lines are segmented... Is there any way around this other than redrawing the thing?

Yeah, I think that would be the way to do it. It wouldn't take as much time as kerf cutting extrusion...

I'm looking to get some koozies screened for a friend of my wifes. I'm looking for 150 & 200 purple koozies with white imprint on one side. thanks in advance, Mark

I do that most of the time, but the problem is if its a bold block text, the edge of the letters don't quite match up and it doesn't look right to me. With Casmate, its more of a seamless arc between the letters. Hard to explain, and most people won't notice it, but I do, and when I do, that...

I don't use Illy...I'm a Corel guy, and I don't like the fact that distortions are more difficult to do than in my old CasMate. If I need to ark text, I don't really like the way that Corel arcs it, so a lot of times I'll export the copy that I want to distort to EPS, import to CasMate, do the...

Thank you for all the kind words. Its been hard, and I have done my fair share of crying, but I have been back to take comfort in everyone's words. My Mom, Dad, and Sister were here when I got down, and we have spent some time talking, re-connecting, and healing. Its been a hard road, but...
