  1. I always wondered why...

    That happened to me 20 years ago on New Years Eve after midnight. I was approaching a slight hill. Thankfully the idiot was in the fast lane and I in the slow. It happened so fast I didn't realize what was going on until we passed. No cell phone so I could not call 911. That was scary and the...
  2. The Sign Making Industry and the Common Good

    I like seeing my work around town but it's the little things that give me the most pride. A single sign for a veteran, a small decal that puts the finishing touch on someones crafty work, a farm sign that replaces the one that was there from 1922. I hate some of those little jobs but they are...
  3. Anyone else went from crazy slow to crazy busy?

    Short Term: I see it staying busy until the election. People have money to spend and they are spending it. Anyone who walks in my door is busy as heck and jobs lined up for weeks or months. Covid may have slowed things down for a bit but in reality I think it's boosting the economy. Product...
  4. Apparel Transfers

    Second that for Transfer Express and 613 Originals.
  5. Anyone else went from crazy slow to crazy busy?

    Very slow when we first shut down then it picked up. The last month I've been very busy! It's just me and I did 2 trucks and a trailer last week and a same this week along with a lot of signs. Our building permits are up 50% this time from last time this year. That is great news for our local...
  6. Life expectancy of FC8600?

    My FC7000 was bought in 2007/2008 - that makes it 12/13 years old, it cuts beautifully! The best money I've ever spent, excellent machine!
  7. Material and install recommendation

    Update. Customer came in and the contractor will install. They only need the sign and they are doing something different with the stones and outside so the sign edges will be covered so I was told to get "close enough" - edges will be covered. After my suggestion, they asked the contractor, he...
  8. Lighted sign...I think I can do this?

    Do I need to get this inspected by someone before I can put the sign blank in? Also, is the acrylic something I can cut myself?
  9. Do you like your PC monitor?

    I have 2 monitors also, and would NEVER go back to one...I would like to get a third!
  10. Question Are Cricut plotters ok? Asking for granddaughter.

    YES, I believe you are correct! OP should check into this for her as he/she will know the best formats.
  11. Question Are Cricut plotters ok? Asking for granddaughter.

    I agree with Texas, many people have them and use them for small projects, seem to work very well for this type of thing! I don't have one but I know a lot of women who do and never hear anyone complain. A teacher at our school has one and she uses my old scraps for various sayings and the such...
  12. Lighted sign...I think I can do this?

    WOW! This is all great information, thank you everyone for your input! There's no old face to measure so I'm on my own, should be OK with all these great tips! I'll post once complete.
  13. Delay in goods for civil unrest?

    LOL! Yes, it's really strange...I think it was originally divided by the train tracks and the town grew over the tracks into the next county.
  14. Delay in goods for civil unrest?

    Happy to report all went well. There was a quite a bit of antagonizing by the organizer and name-outing on FB of local "racist rednecks" (Trump supporters). She only had about 75-100 protesters show up and no counter-protesters from what I know of. Lots of cops but no issues. They were done...
  15. Delay in goods for civil unrest?

    The shop is a few blocks from my house, thankfully!
  16. Delay in goods for civil unrest?

    Not a happy day today. Police came in the shop today and warned me about a protest taking place outside my business tonight, or on my street. We have a few thousand people.Will it get out of hand? Probably not but still makes me nervous, I have a large glass window and a glass entrance door. And...
  17. Lighted sign...I think I can do this?

    Here are some pics, sorry I forgot to include...
  18. Lighted sign...I think I can do this?

    There is not an existing sign the old tenant took it with him. I'll grab a ladder and get up there to measure - anything I need to be aware of? Thank you for the quick reply, I'm excited to try something new!
  19. Lighted sign...I think I can do this?

    New business would like a quote for this lighted sign box. Box appears to be in good repair and lights work. I've done lettering on existing boxes but I have not replaced the substrate yet. I think this looks like a good project to tackle for me as a first timer. Size is approximately 9' x 22"...
  20. "Coke is it!" Font

    Not on "Brands of the World", sometimes these types of things are on there for future reference
