Because "Keep OFF Of The Grass!" gets no RESPECT! Joe

The Center Street Bar & Grill in Madisonville, KY hired me to make some sign faces for an existing steel wall mounted sign can. 14 Gauge stainless steel with orange plex behind it. There are NO street lights on their street, so their sign is a real eye catcher at night!

In 2017, I decided to introduce my hobby business to the community. Franklin, KY. only has a population of 8,000 people. I built a float for the Christmas Parade. A welded steel framed gingerbread house that was bolted to my flatbed truck's tilt bed. It took me 12 days, from concept to...

Teeth are easy to replace. I wish someone would come up with a replacement BACK! Joe

I have more than one PlasmaCam CNC table. Joe

I have a lot more FUN running this table with a router, than I do while cutting metal. Joe

I mount a router to the carriage and run the table as a CNC router table. The software works great for this purpose, and I have sort of become known as "The Router Guy" among the PlasmaCam community. Joe

I may attend this event, based entirely on the CURRENT "No Masks or Vax PROOF Required" policy. I've had enough of that B.S. Joe NO MASKS REQUIRED

I have the Samson 510 CNC plasma table and a 4x4 PlasmaCam table that both serve me well. I can design almost anything once I put my mind to the task, and I can cut things out of sheet metal, as well as other materials like PVC board, foam, etc. etc. I guess the plasma cutting end of sign...

In order to have a one-person business, you must be all things at all times. You need to watch costs. You need to pay yourself a salary. You need to cover overhead costs. You need to have your finger on the pulse of society. I have a nice home hobby workshop that is bigger and better...

Now 64, and retired. I still make metal art and custom signs, mostly for fun.

This stuff is so cool! I bookmarked the site for future reference. Joe

Do you need the font, or just a DXF file of that word "STAGE"? I could draw it for you. Joe

I am pretty good with my software, so most of the time, a request for a proof is a matter of 5 or 10 minutes of my time. If there is more work involved, I charge an art fee, and tell the customer that it will be deducted from the final bill if the customer decides to move forward with the...

Assuming you are making something for a client, have you asked the client for the name of the font? It is so sad, how many companies design a logo and choose a font to create their sign, but never bother to make a note of the font they used! Duplicating this by drawing it is one thing, but if...

You are free to believe whatever you see on TV. It is no skin off of my nose.

I don't even know that a plane WAS shot down, and you don't know either. You believe what you saw on TV. I don't.

It is truly amazing, the things modern television studios with state-of-the-art CGI computers can produce for public consumption. The word 'propaganda' comes to mind. Take a moment to watch "Wag The Dog." I do not immediately believe ANYTHING I see on the news networks anymore.

Who is the client? Did THEY create that sign or hire someone to create it? You are trying to find the font, and this is the age old problem with signs. When someone asks you to re-create a sign, or create another sign using the same font but different letters, the first question you should...

My thoughts on going mobile: 1. ANY vehicle on the road with commercial markings is a target for insurance scammers who will throw their vehicles or their bodies in front of your truck so you can hit them and then let your insurance support them for the rest of their lives. I will NOT drive a...
