  3. Need a swift reply please...

    You might want to check with a cabinet shop locally, too. We used to have to get custom 6' stakes made for a realtor and the cabinet shop up the street made them for us cheaper than we could buy the raw wood.

    Stake Supply stocks those and will make custom sizes cheap, too.
  5. Best way to mount sign panel?

    Screw two pieces of 2" square tubing to the building by removing the existing screws and replacing with longer screws. Mount two pieces of 2" x 2" angle aluminum to the back of your sign. Make sure the top piece is set to sit on top of the top piece of square tubing....the bottom angle needs...
  6. Best way to mount sign panel?

    Depending on the construction.... If by minimally invasive you mean the customer doesn't want you drilling 50 new holes in his building then it's pretty simple. Get 6 1"x3" pvc couplings to use as your spacers. Remove the 2" screws holding the metal panels to the building, mount your sign in...
  7. Why do I have to use the Equal Housing logo?

    Obama? I think this goes back as far as Carter.
  8. Must be copyright issue day!

    Kinko's is just covering their ass. They'll print it for you...they just want to make sure that you're accepting responsibility for acquiring permission to have the file printed. Sign it (heck, sign it with a fake name if you want) and get it printed.
  9. copyright

    I'm gonna agree with Dan. The bigger the company the easier it usually is to get the perfect artwork, most of them now have it available online and just issue you a password and tell you to go get what you need. The sad part of the copyright issue is that a majority of the people out there...
  10. The $50 4x4

    So....when are you going to offer a marketing class? Every time you post a little tidbit like that it's absolutely brilliant. This one is just taking something we already produce, selling it to the same people we already sell it to, yet presenting it differently so the customer thinks their...
  11. Why do I have to use the Equal Housing logo?

    What the heck? An 1/8th page ad needs a 1"x1" logo? Some government engineer wrote that. SHOULD doesn't mean MUST, does it? I mean I SHOULD get off Signs101 and get to work but it's not something I MUST do.
  12. Why do I have to use the Equal Housing logo?

    Just curious but why do people insist on having the Equal Housing Opportunity or Equal Housing Lender logo put on signs? Don't all lenders and realtors have to follow those laws?

  14. Adapting your business in the coming year

    Okay, I've gotta ask for a translation. None of the translators is finding it. Nevermind....google did what tranlators could not.
  15. Should a city regulate numbers by type of biz?

    The city council locally refused to give a business license to an "adult bookstore" for no reason other than they didn't like the idea of a porn shop in town. Porn shop sued for the income they were losing by being closed (federal courts eventually forced the city to let them open). City had...

    Maybe you have to buy her a drink first.
  17. How do you store your fonts?

    Currently in the digital version of "a pile". I've just got them all dumped in a folder named, oddly enough, FONTS. It's currently over 1 GB....but there are duplicates of duplicates in there plus zip files from copying font files from obsolete computers over the years. I use Adobe Font Folio...
  18. Wanting to build a thermoforming machines vacuum forming machines

    If you get the plexi soft enough to confrom to your mold how do you possibly handle the hot, soft, giant sheet of plexi to get it on the mold? I thought most vacuum forming machines heated and molded the stuff all in the same machine.
  19. People that dont think...

    At least twice a week I get a call from my biggest real estate customer telling me to go pull the campaign/festival/directional/sale signs off their 4x8 real estate signs. People don't think twice about stapling their sign on top of somebody elses. What really ticks me off about it is they use...
