Thanks Keith. The lathe is only about 25 years old or so. I made it myself becuase I couldn't afford a lathe of that capacity at the time.(probably still can't). The lathe is amazingly quiet in opperation. The drive belt makes the most noise. I think the wood construction absorbs most of the...

Jill, I think the manufacturer of those revolving apples has gone bust. I can't find them anywhere. Maybe I can find some NOS on Ebay.

Thanks for the suggstion MTM. I have had terrible luck with hanging signs in this town. Kids steal them or destroy them. It would be a great way to deal with the changeable message required.

Hey toddot....how's that gear logo coming?

Thanks for posting that up signmaniac. I was working on changing the font to all caps. It looks better to me now for some reason.Then I thought I'd try a few different colours. I really like the weird swamp green one. I think that colour would look awesome with the gold leaf.

It's "Appletown" on her business card. Might be a good idea to check with her on that one though. Thanks.

Man I must be getting tired. Thanks for catching that spelling mistake maniac. I like the teal border. Maybe I can use teal in the cream coloured groove? I made the E and S bigger to frame the little panel but I see now that I didn't centre it up very well. I would like to have a similar weight...

Thanks Heath. That image posted up a lot smaller than I thought it would so I'm posting a bigger image of the exact same layout so it's easier to see.

I think I've been looking at this for long enough. Anyone have any suggestions? The before is getting pretty ratty looking so they want me to make them a new one out of HDU. The pictorial will be carved. I can't decide if the pictorial is too big or needs to simplified or? The font doesn't...

The backgrounds are too busy. The first one is almost unreadable because there is no contrast between the background and the lettering. The second is more readable but not much. The colours are garish. Try a nicer blue like the one used on this site maybe. And a toned down red. I would drop the...

Those are great. Did you make the mold out of wood?

What software are you using to do this?

Make the content 800 wide and you should be safe

Well....I corrected it so stop looking. (it was "bare" and "Peice")

I didn't have to scroll.

Looks like this on my monitor. I'm guessing the wide white bar should be one piece?

I fully agree Jon. I wasn't angry at the customer. I blew it. Although he did specifically tell me he didn't want coro. He figured he could re-use the signs over the years if they were good quality. You just can't win them all but it probably would have gone a lot better if I had him drop by my...

See....you were doing great until you added that last line. That condesending remark is just not required. You give some good advise on this forum but consitently blow it by adding snide little diggs like that. To start with, YOU posted on this thread as did Jon Aston....a consultant. Now YOU...

I have found that blowing the dust off is not good enough. That dust sticks like it was designed to. I recommend blasting it with a garden hose. The only thing I've seen about useing auto primer on HDU from a manufacturer was they didn't recommend it. Why? Who knows. It worked fine for me. I...

Ooops....forgot the ears.
