Check out the Samurai Carpenter videos on YouTube. He uses Japanese chisels and saws. Turns out incredible joinery and carvings.

I used Clearshield for some jobs. NAPA 8887(spray can) Cut-In acrylic clear for others.

Just got the new printer running yesterday. I'll get back to you after it gets some miles on it. Only ran a Roland to this point. Not too much in the way of maintenance issues with Roland.

As long as they are happy and cut a fat check who cares.

$500 a day sounds good but you may be opening a can of whoop a$$. I'd do a site survey and sit down with your partner going over all the possible pitfalls before committing. Moisture content of the concrete? Obstructions? Weather? Boom lift? Rough terrain tele-handlers weigh about 12 ton...

I shut off my phone at 5p.m. every evening. Unless I'm making fat bank I no longer work weekends. There is nothing that pressing that it can't wait. Most of the time customers create their own emergency by waiting until the last minute. Life is a finite resource. Don't spend it chasing...

Like others have said find a polish shop. Then send them to be clear powder coated.

Geritol, haven't heard that in ages. A lifetime ago I worked with a guy known as the Geritol Hippie. Quite the character.

Low-energy material it is. Thanks to Mike Pro and Johnny Best for the information.

Client is bringing a Sea-Doo Spark for registration numbers. I need to know if a low-energy surface vinyl is needed. Body is made from what Bombardier calls Polytec. Client says it has a slight texture and was joking it's made from recycled pop bottles. Any ideas?

When I'm in the kitchen it's Smooth Jazz on Pandora. When I'm in the shop anything goes. I run the gamut from metal, rock, and classical to Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli

If I'm going to be gone all or most of a day I pack lunch, snacks and drinks in reusable containers and it goes in a cooler or lunch pail. No waste save for some cheap paper napkins. When I'm on site I don't leave for lunch or any other meal. Got real good at packing whatever I needed when I...

Was talking to my brother(a retired engineer) regarding the plastic straw ban. He cited Starbucks jump to eliminate straws and the issue it caused. Seems their new coffee cup lid has much more plastic in it than the outgoing lid and the straw they "eliminated".:confused:

Could have a bad connection on one of the ribbon cables.

Buying a 54" Summa for contour cuts would be the recent best bang for the buck. I no longer cringe when getting a large job with contour cuts. Load it and walk away. Blood pressure went way down. Once my new 64" printer gets here that could be the next best bang for the buck. 4'x4' CNC is...

Buy from the shop in your town with the best service/support. I bought my new printer from a dealer less than 30 minutes away. Also figure out exactly what your needs are. I never run full rolls but run a lot of small pieces. Feeding small pieces ruled out latex even though I wired my office...

And these same bureaus you defend completely F#$@^ED me, my wife and business. When everything you own, built, and have invested is one click away from disappearing you will see things far differently. No way for you to spin that to make me think they're useful.
