  1. what is that tool?

    It's called a deburring tool. Should be able to get it at Harbor Freight or any hardware store. Dave
  2. Shop Rate

    This will be my last post on this subject since you have your views on how to gather clients and I have mine on how to keep customers. This sort of becoming a pi$$ing match and I really don't have to go. I don't and have never said that I treat or see my customers as dollar signs. I give a...
  3. Shop Rate

    In the summer I already golf at least two times a week. Sometimes three. Don't think I can get much more squeezed in. As far as the lunch and other stuff you mention, I think most of what you're saying is BS. Most Companies frown on employees ( especially purchasing agents) doing this kind of...
  4. Shop Rate

    We have a couple of Advertising Companies that deal wholesale with us. Some of their customers have come into our shop to purchase personal items not related to the company they work for. When they see products here that their company bought thru the Advertising Company, they can't beleive the...
  5. What's with these tire kickers?

    We did too many of this stuff. It was always too costly for the shop so we made a generic "In Memory of" and just change the name. One color 651 cal for the outside of the window. This is all we offer. Same for all the scoocer, football, etc stuff. And I tell the customer we'll get to it when we...
  6. Frustrating (Non Serious) Local Competition

    Same as Mosh here. Had a girl buying just vinyl from us to do banners and one color cheapo truck doors. She worked in a t-shirt shop up the street and used their plotter to cut the stuff. After we found out what was going on, we told her no more. She would send her "customers" to our place...
  7. Very Important and worth the read...............

    I get it. He "was open", got the money for the signs and now is closed. Hence "were open". Don't know what it has to do with Gino's post, but I think I got it. Dave
  8. Employee Vacation Time

    We always find somethng for our employees to do. It's written in their job description that they will be asked to work outside of their field. This might mean clean windows, move shelves or racks and mop floors, maybe paint, and even work outside. We only have three employees. Two full time...
  9. Have a good weekend all !

    Thanks Bobby. Let me know when my version 10 will be here. Dave
  10. late models wrap

    If you are talking dirt late model, most of the cars look the same. Something splashy, flamey, carbon fiber, tread plate, a few zig zags, some sponsors and a number. So many of them out there, it's hard to have a different look. So back to your question. Are you looking for someone to design...
  11. What do you wear to work?

    We have no dress code in our shop except for the flip flop thing. Ever see an xacto knife roll off the table and stick in the top of flip flops? Me either. I have nothing against them. Mostly it's an insurance and workmens comp thing. Dave
  12. fire dept wouldn't put the fire out...

    When I was a kid still living at home (about 50 yrs. ago) a house caught fire about a mile up the road from our house. When the city fire truck went passed our house, we jumped on our bikes and followed it. The house was blazing and the firemen did nothing. A short time later the local VFD...
  13. Installation Question

    If you don't know how thick the building walls are, you might want to find out. We did an install on a new construction. Was told there was nothing in the walls except insulation. I wasn't satisfied so I checked the drawings. Found out there was wiring located where we planned on mounting the...
  14. SP-300i Print/Cut Misalignment

    Sounds like the same problem I had a couple of weeks ago. Mine's an sp300v and I use Flexi with Versa. Here's some of my trys to fix it: 1. Changed the encoder strip. 2. Changed both pinch rollers. One was worn so I changed them both. 3. Did the Factory Defalut reset in the menu on the...

  16. Spar Urethane Over Print???

    Not sure if I did the right thing, but I printed a local bar's logo and applied it to their stage floor (sanded hardwood). Right after I got it layed down, he rolled poly over it. After two years, it still looks OK. I didn't say good because of the foot traffic it has the usual scuffs and...

    Hello Dave here from Ohio Valley Awards I am in need of someone who can vectorize a photograph. We have an engraver that works off vectorized images imported as DXF files. I know it can be done because at one time we had an employee who was able to do this for us but she no longer work here...
  18. POS Software

    Welcome to 101. I use Flexi. Great first post.
  19. what is that thing?

    It's there so no one sits on the sign.
  20. What do you remember...................

    I remember being able to go to the park or play ground without any adult supervision. Would meet up with my buddies for a day of fun and stay until dark, then walk home. Now my grandkids can't even go outside in their own yard and play unlees the parents are there.
