  1. How do we make these?

    I'd say you're on the right track. Just make sure you leave enough room to compensate for swelling, unless you plan to seal them entirely. I'm wondering if you could modify hardwood flooring pieces since they're close to net size and shape...it would save a lot of work. JB
  2. Ideas for this kite?

    FYI: the material is Ripstop Nylon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripstop More info, but might not be your exact material: JB
  3. Baffling application tape problem

    I like Conform RTape. Their RLA (release liner adhesion) tape sticks to liners about as good as tape can, so I have to believe it will stick to your vinyl. Perhaps others here can chime on which type you should use, based on your vinyl...
  4. Supply Chain Issues

    If it's something you'll use, and you can sit on it for a while, it might be a good idea. Be cautious of price gouging as they begin to exhaust their supplies. Three years ago when we had regional flooding in the southeast US, one of my key suppliers ended up losing their main factory. It...
  5. Free comma punctuation checker?

    BTW...I had an awesome grammar teacher when I was in high school. He was also an actor in our community theater and he'd always throw in a bit of spontaneous schtick to help illustrate his point. His lessons were fantastic, we students were spellbound (no pun intended) and I became a grammar...

    I was thinking of something a little more grammarian, perhaps... JB
  7. Question Favorite Font

    In my opinion, Helvetica and Arial are very valuable typefaces when used as a "side dish". They're at their best when they compliment script or serif typefaces as subcopy. And while many people try to make them stand on their own, they're fine in small doses or when used for wayfinding or...
  8. Question Favorite Font

    I do stone and monument engraving, and I strongly tend to gravitate toward the Roman typefaces. They're timeless, and they can be dressed up or down, depending on how you want to use them. But sadly, the monument industry as a whole has seemed to be stuck on a select few...ubiquitously chosen...
  9. Label Making: Genius Level

    And what's most ironic is that many of the successful entrepreneurs never intentionally set out to be an entrepreneur. Just goes to show you what an opportunity can do for the well-prepared. JB
  10. 1 Tonne Gold Piece...awestruck, to say the least

    Between the spatters from casting and the chips from machining / tooling, I gotta wonder...
  11. 1 Tonne Gold Piece...awestruck, to say the least

    The face value of the piece doesn't jive with the value of the gold, but still pretty cool anyway. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/363876844871746924/?lp=true
  12. Label Making: Genius Level

    So I heard about this gal on one of Guy Raz's episodes of "How I built this". Her unique story is at the tail end of the episode for Panera Bread at: https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510313/how-i-built-this I love this kind of stuff: https://candoable.co/ JB
  13. Old School - still the best School

    Cool...I found that video several years ago, and I too love the old timey videos from my youth. JB
  14. Just found this on my work table

    Hoooray! It looks as though she's a lefty! Way too cool. JB
  15. Just found this on my work table

    Ok all you dads with young daughters, it's time to pull out a big box of Kleenex... Behold, a time cometh when you shall walk her down the aisle one day...and it's coming a lot faster than you can imagine. I sat down to my desk one day to find this red paper heart on the keyboard. It's from...

    I understand...perhaps it's time to start a tradition of your own... JB
  17. Just found this on my work table

    Take another look...it's the UNDER SIDE of the table...no harm done. JB
  18. Just found this on my work table

    On a similar note, we started a tradition with the underside of our kitchen table when we discovered that our son had signed his name and the date many moons ago. Now, when we have special guests visit, we turn up the table and have them sign their name and date with a Sharpie marker. It's...
  19. Just found this on my work table

    I'd put a coat of polyurethane over it and make a little frame around it. Don't forget to put the date on it. JB
