We know this: Signs in the desert are TARGETS for shooters.. The desert is HARD on anything man made. So have letters cut out of AR steel, and weld them to thick chains. They WILL be shot. They WILL survive!

My neighbor's son was five when I moved in 8 years ago. He is 13 now, and just about "shop rat" age. He is interested in what I do, and I am negotiating a wage with him, to come in, sweep up, toss trash, pick up obvious disposable remnants, etc. and keep the shop clean. In exchange for his...

Fred, first, I did not attack your Font Finder program. I have use it, as well as others, and I have found it to be useful about 50% of the time.

:rolleyes: Yes, some programs have been written to try to identify fonts, and predictably, they SOMETIMES are successful at matching a sample to a correct font, or more often returning something that is only very close, and then, only if the submitted sample isn't something obscure, or minimally...

In a perfect world ...

I wish some talented programmer would create a font identification database, and register ALL fonts into it. Maybe this could be a project for some large college of graphic arts or something. I am not sure exactly how that would work. Perhaps you would import certain letters, and plot the...

You are singing to the choir! The font doesn't look all that difficult to create. Find a font that has the basic letter shapes, and add in the curved tips and such manually.

Dang. I wish my hand was HALF as steady as that! VERY nice work!

If this is for a client, you will have to ask them for the name of the font. If you are replicating THIS sign, you can draw it, or you can find something similar. I was not able to find this font in my limited search bubble.

I really do admire people who memorize the various font names by sight. I cannot do that, as I have a failing memory at the tender young age of 61. I know if I have seen a font before, but I cannot even name the most basic fonts unless I compare them to some sample chart. It is something I...

The biggest problem in sign making seems to be trying to identify FONTS. Too often, someone will have a business, and their sign or logo with a specific FONT was created five years ago by their niece, using some obscure graphic design software or some quirky FONT from a $2.00 "World's Greatest...

Don'tcha just love it when someone gives you some postage stamp sized image and says, "Just blow it up! It only needs to be 20 feet wide!" .

Are you just going to reproduce this exact sign, or are you going to make another sign using this font? If you are just going to reproduce the sign, it is a simple task to trace the letters and create a cut file. .

Hi from Franklin, KY.

Are you cutting vinyl, or ???

Scam. Definitely a scam.

There is more than one? .

Yes. Kentucky gets humid in the summer months. If the faces fail, I will just make him some new ones out of another material, like Dibond or PVC sheets or vinyl on plexiglass. Or maybe I'll cut sign faces out of steel with my plasma table and have them powder coated, and back them with...

I'm not a "pro" :rolleyes: but a few questions popped into my mind: - How big is this banner? - How high off of the ground is the top and bottom? - How long will it be hanging there? - Is this a one-time thing, or just the first of many banners that will be hung on the same wall over the...

1/2" plywood, outdoor grade. Not primed. However, the plywood and the HDU are snug in the channel on all four sides, with horizontal and vertical expansion room. I don't think it will be a problem. :covereyes: .
