  1. Using a Tracksaw to cut Diabond

    Anyone have feedback on the Makita version? Might pull the trigger on a Festool/DeWalt/Makita soon and was just weighing the comments here... http://www.amazon.com/Makita-SP6000K1-2-Inch-Plunge-Circular/dp/B000UYTKG6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332159020&sr=8-1
  2. Come take this piece of junk

    Mike, sorry to hear that a guy like you has had to deal with this situation for so long. (Happy to hear it seems to be resolved though.) Hope it's smooth sailing from here on out. *BTW - I would NOT share those pickles with your vendor!
  3. Juicing!!

    Gary, going to have to call you and talk about this. You're holding out on me bro...
  4. Fill my brain with hunting knowledge!

    I've been hunting since I was a kid. My advice to you is to start small. Too many "new" hunters want to go try their hand at bigger game like deer, elk, bear, etc. Honestly, if you want to give hunting a chance go out and do the squirrel and rabbit thing first and possibly mix in some dove...
  5. Thanks FatCat!!!

    Absolutely, in fact I can my own pickles too! I make some killer sweet & hots that I mix with habaneros. (Really just my copy of Tony Packos Sweet-Hots.) I know Mike is strictly a fan of dill, otherwise I would have sent him some of those too.
  6. Thanks FatCat!!!

    Lol, glad you like them! Seriously, though the cool person here is Mike. I can't tell you all how much he's helped me over the last few years and I never forget it! One thing we have in common is the joy of a good pickle and I think Tony Packo makes some pretty good ones. Eat up Mike, you...
  7. WRAPS! Where do I start?

    In truth, at that time I didn't know what to charge. $350 seemed reasonable at first, very little material involved. However, that was a valuable lesson learned that not all value or expense of sign jobs revolve around materials. :wink: These days, I don't even want to think about doing...
  8. WRAPS! Where do I start?

    Where to start... I did a go-kart wrap identical to the body you're showing in your pic about 3 years ago. I tried to lay it out as a 1 piece deal and due to the complex curves it was nearly impossible to get everything to line up the way I wanted to. Finally gave in and designed the wrap in...
  9. Digital camera recommendation for those in the market (non-DSLR)...

    I've been using a Canon S5 for the past 3 years. Might be time for an upgrade? Lol.
  10. need another plotter

    Realize that if you MUST have a Summa D60, they will likely be few and far between. Try searching under searchtempest.com which is a broader search engine for Craigslist. Use your own zip code and expand the radius to 500 miles. I just did and saw one over in Pittsburgh for $1100 with...
  11. Let's Discuss Pickles...

    Mmmm, loves me some pickles... Dill pickles... Sweet pickles... Pickled Eggs... Pickled Peppers... Pickled beets... Pickled cauliflower... I feel like Bubba on Forest Gump, lol.
  12. Ohio School Shooting

    Nothing to say but tragic. This is in NE Ohio near Cleveland - still too close to home for me. Just heard another student say (who had been grazed in the ear by one of the bullets) he used to be friends with this kid up until 8th grade where he became introverted and turned to the "goth"...
  13. Freelance design and Merchant Membership

    I for one am stoked about this Arlo. I've asked and poked around for the past 2 years in my area for someone who could get me started hand lettering without success. In my area they must be hard to come by or not willing to share their knowledge. Bless you for this - really. Please let me...

    :thumb: Arlo that is great news! Count me as another anxious student in waiting...

  16. AbsoLUTEly fried....

    To be BRUTALLY honest, you can label yourself "husky" I am nothing short of "ogre-ish". And it would have to be a really big lift with a 2 ton capacity to get my big butt up there. Lol.
  17. Oracal 5600 and 210 Lam

    Yeah, we don't have quite as hard of winters as you but we still deal with snow and snowplows. I would think it would be fine from what you are wanting to do. Best bet would be to make a sample first and make sure the laminate doesn't interfere with the reflective properties or make things...
  18. Oracal 5600 and 210 Lam

    I've honestly never laminated any reflective. But IMHO 210 is an above average intermediate laminate, especialy good for flat surfaces. I've got some printed 4x8 real estate billboards out there 3+ years old and still look like new. It's a good material for the right purposes, but if your...
  19. AbsoLUTEly fried....

    Awww, does someone need a hug??? j/k :Big Laugh Good for you Gary. I've been rolling this year as well. Like you, I'm to the point of being fried. Not used to being this busy in February and it just keeps coming in. Hope it never stops too. Lol. :rock-n-roll:
  20. Put out to pasture...

    Me 3! I think you have a wealth of knowledge to share with some of us younger guys and I also wouldn't mind paying to learn. :thumb:
