  2. Sign Shop Gremlins [Keeping track of tools?]

    Follow the 5S routine. Sort - Straighten - Shine - Standardize - Sustain. Establishing work cells for specific operations goes hand in hand with this strategy. Table tops and benches will no longer be used to "store" tools. All tools go on a board in their respective work cell and have their...

  4. pre made sign work table

    Sooo, instead of spending half a day at 50 bucks an hour and 60 to 80 dollars of material it is more cost effective to buy a table for 1000 dollars that you still have to assemble. (and had to pay to have it shipped to your location and had to have a helper to get it off the truck, moved...

  10. How Much Would You Charge for this wrap?

    Methinks you need to get a thicker skin. You opened yourself up to all kinds of criticism/sniping regarding your post. Followed immediately by calling people trolls. Nice. Would love to be a fly on the wall when the client comes in. Just sayin...
  11. Thinking of converting to a Franchise Shop any words of wisdom

    If I was close to retirement I'd find a buyer for the equipment and transition myself out. Then go find a part or full time mindless job and coast to the "golden years". No way would I be signing contracts and having major capital expenditures late in the game. Remember, everything looks...
