from now on 30 cal and under....I will get my kid to post up a vid of us shooting that 50, it is un-real. Like I said $7 a shot...he is making $60 an hour rebuilding the river levee so he has cash to burn.....they are going 50-70 hours a week...Scheel's is getting it all...he is 10 times the gun...
My brother's mother's ex-husband's cousin (my dad's cousin) came out to my place to shoot his gun last week. So we set up these 1" thick plates at 200 yards and shot away....at $7 a shot (50 cal). Well some bullet fragemts ended up 2 1/2 miles away in a guy's driveway so the sheriff tracked down...
I use the 3M wheel and they work AWESOME! But you will need the 3M remover to clean up all the "graphic dust" it leaves behind. I use mind on an air drill, works great. Also the MBX tool is the same, don't have one but hear they are great.

goo gone, goof off...? All that hippie citris stuff doesn't work like some good ol' hard core petro based chemicals...and the 3M stuff smellls better anyways! AND you can make cool fire tricks with it as well...but that is another story....

Google up faux finishes, there are a 1,000 tricks on how to get the old look.
I know I have made metal signs look old by light sanding and vinigar. It made them
rust up in a week.
I had a CD drive since 1990, read only drives were not that much. The writable ones were big money until 94-95. Here is a pic of my Corel 3 cd, reads copywrite 1991 made in Canada, I don't think I had it until 92 though.
So this guy calls me and needs his tuck lettered. I tell him to e-mail me what he wants and I can make him up some designs. His e-mail reads "I need my truck lettered, when can you look at my doors" So I e-mail back asking what he wants on his truck and what colors...his rely is "the truck is...
I still have SignLab V2 on floppy and Corel the oringinal on floppy. Waiting for American Pickers to show up!
i remember when Corel 3 came out on CD I was So impressed!! LOL! I wish I still had my Gerber Sprint with all TEN fonts....BTW fonts were $250 each.
4x8 for the Corps of Engineers, 1988. Some vinyl, painted logo. 2x4 painted frame. Remember it like it was yesterday. Took me about 8 hours, I do the same type of signs for them today in about 1 hour. In fact the specs are the same almost 25 years later.
First day and my boss Jim showed me...
