Hi all I can usually recognize a font or get it from What the font, this one, no please help if you can. Thanks

Toolstoday is where I get 90% of our bits. Prices are fair. Selection huge. They are in NY which means one day shipping for me. https://www.toolstoday.com/router-bits/cnc-router-bits-and-insert-router-bits.html?sort_by=popularity&page_num=3

Partial wraps are the way to fly, they cost the client less, make more $$ for the sign shop, and tend to read much more cleanly.

a routed sign made with cypress, cedar or redwood, properly sealed and clear-coated with 3 coats of Marine Spar Varnish. (NOT polyurethane). I'm wondering about the adhesive factor between the acrylic and varnish over a long period of years Sorry, but you've lost me, you speak of a carved sign...

Aspire will do more than you'll probably ever need. Vcarve is a great program & easy to learn.

You can get about 90 percent of the look of polished edges with a diamond bit. they are expensive but the finish is amazing. Cut with a single flute bit then last pass 1 or 2 thousands with the diamond bit. I saw a video on u-tube

I use Gemini for my acid etching but I'm looking for an alternate. Any others that are good?

Outstanding!

Jeff, You are a genius:u rock: THANKS a bunch.

I have a price sheet with the cost of letters from 1" to 24". It's a bit laborious to count letters, so I count one line of...

Try...

And then there are the people who come in to the shop and refer to all vehicle lettering as a wrap. "Do you do wraps? I need my business name and phone number on my pick-up's doors":doh:

Thanks Tex

Hi All, I've had very limited experience with window perf. on vehicles. I think I remember that it has to be laminated or water collects in the perforations and makes it hard to view through. True or false?

We did work for a legit sign co. in Toledo Il. I told them money up front to people with no prior business experience. They said they understood, about 4 days later we got a check. There is nothing wrong with cash up front. Legit businesses understand. If they are going to pay you, up front is...
