Welcome from Maryland. My parents drive up there just about every summer to host a campground down the Denali Hwy. I flew up and spent a couple of weeks, and I envy you living there. Truely beautiful land. After coming back home, I have said many times that if I knew Alaska was that...

A lot of times, because at least once a week, we hear about some schmuck doesn't want to pay a couple of hundred bucks for some truck lettering / race car lettering / sign, and figures that he can buy some EBAY pos chinese plotter, and do it himself. And they show up here hoping that someone...

You mean its not anymore, SWEET! ! !:ROFLMAO:

After high school, I started waiting tables, but my hobby was customizing trucks. I fell in with a bunch of other guys with trucks while hanging out at the local tint shop, and and we decided to for a truck club, and I went in buying vinyl for the club and the owner of the tint shop. I would...

Great site. I have been thinking about getting a 17" Dell for a while now. I found just the one I want for less than $900. I'm like you, I hate the idea of having to go to Vista. There is a laptop repair shop not too far from me that took my sons Acer laptop with vista and took it back to...

I can attest to getting by on a cheap welder. Years ago, I bought a cheapie, An AstroMIG 135 (Chinese pos), and it worked ok for a year of light duty use, and then things started to wear out. Cheap things like the trigger were plastic, and it wore out to the point it wouldn't feed, then the...

Funny this topic comes up... I'm going out on a limb here, and I'm gong to say that $45 per sq ft finished is a tad low, but not that bad... I got a price sheet just this morning from a wholesale shop on this board (and I know many people use them) that are pricing thier finished 1" 15 lb HDU...

Yeah, but the problem that I found was they were nariated by George Constanza...and this is the picture that he chose for the inside cover!!! :ROFLMAO::doh: sorry,:thread Good post Checkers

That's not a bad looking software. It has a free trial, and looks just what I, or anyone that has important files, needs. Thanks.:toasting:

Thanks for all the responses. I took the hard drive to the computer repair. After calling around, from The Dweeb...er, I mean Geek Squad to a couple of others, I got a recomendatin from a friend for someone that does data recovery. I got a call from the guy a short while ago, and it looks...

Man, when it rains it pours... I came out the the office this morning, and turn on the computer, and my external hard drive is clicking. I turn it on, and the computer recognizes the thing, but the computer can't see it. The front of the case (a Mad Dog Multimedia case from Radio Shack)...

Yeah, good luck with that. I read on the post this morning, and almost posted, but you contiune to post, and I can't ignore anymore. First question that I have is, you say you worked at a sign company for what 5 years, some 8 years ago? I know that flex faces were in use over 14 years ago...

I replaced my sacrificial material with 1/4" sintra. It was pretty cheap from Harbor, and I just ripped it down to slat size with the table saw, and used carpet double sided tape to hold it down. I only went with 1/4" because I only have about 2" of throat area, and I didn't need to loose...

If your charging $500, your in the red. I just did up a quick quote in estimate, and entered just the coro signs, and it came out to $811 (not including the mags). According to my figures, at $500, you have $131 in materials, $30 in design, $445 in production, which leaves you 21% in the...

Yeah, 2, 3 days turnaround for me as well. Like said before, I ask when they need them, and juggle it into the schedule. One thing I do is if I think it will take 2 days, I tell the customer 5. If it takes me a little longer to finish, I can still come in "earlier" than when a customer...

Anyone know this font off hand? Thanks in advance.

What buisness? Signs? I'm a little confused. :Welcome: to :signs101:, by the way. I'm over in Maryland, not too far from you...

x2. I just joined the local Chamber, and they don't have anything like this, but there are something like 225 members. I also went ahead and joined another Chamber in the next county over which has a pretty big city, they have what they call "Leads Groups" which is a group of 40 - 50...

I don't know that the learning curve will be that bad. Everyone learns programs at different rate. I have a Gerber Router, and I use the Artpath software. Its all pretty much point and click. The trick is to doule check your rout paths prior to sending to the router. I have also used...

No, it was stacked correctly, ie, the centers were colored white, the outside shape was colored black, and it all looked fine. But when I selected everything, and tried to combine, the black object came to the front, and you can't see the centers. Everything is a closed path, and I don't see...
