I am always for hire! This is just a hobby shop. I don't have an established business YET. I am playing with this name and concept now ... http://www.aguyintown.com I am working toward that in the first part of 2016 perhaps. Yes, it is quite an investment, but it gels well with the other...

I haven't laid vinyl in a long time, but it would seem that a set of rare earth magnets would serve very well as a hinge on vehicles.

Ah ... psychology! I used to deliver pizzas years ago. When I would walk up a flight of stairs that had an apartment door on each side ... if the pizza was going to apartment 'A' I would first knock on apartment 'B'. The moment they opened the door, I'd peel the bag open and let the pizza...

Make small lawn signs that read: "Please walk carefully across our property. Bacon grease is slippery." Given the current state of things, you'll sell a million of them.

I hate to sound stupid ... :rolleyes: ... but what is meant by using tape for a 'hinge'? Are you talking about laying down vinyl, or ???

Today, I jumped in with both feet. :o http://www.faro.com/en-us/products/metrology/measuring-arm-faro-scanarm/overview I rode up on my Gold Wing (hint: BRRRRR!!!!) to meet with a FARO Technologies representative. The NextEngine scanner I purchased a couple of months ago works, but it is...

Will primer stick to aluminum? Won't paint stick to primer? Commercial airlines are made out of aluminum. They are all painted, and subjected to freezing temperatures and 600 mph winds, hail, heat, UV light at high altitudes ... Perhaps we should find out how they do it! :rock-n-roll:

Perhaps I am missing something. Why not just cut stencils and spray paint the lettering directly onto the aluminum?

Can you post a photo of the sign? Is is a single-sided plex sign with vinyl, or a double-sided sign? It has to be secure. If it fell, it could slice someone's head in half! :omg: Perhaps a nice wooden (oak?) frame that is slotted for the plex, and assembled around the plex. Hangers...

When I get my wood shop up and running, EL panels and wire will be a part of the things I will experiment with. I like the concept but I am not sure how well they will hold up over time. Do a Google search for "Electroluminescent panels" and "EL wire" to find sources for the product.

Please do not be offended. My first thought was," The bear is seated on a sofa, watching TV." :omg:

I did not notice the date of the thread. Is the advice no longer valid? :rolleyes:

You guys all have SIGN shops! Put a sign on the side of the dumpster: MEDICAL WASTE The dumpster diving will stop immediately. :rolleyes:

When I lived in Commiefornia, I ran a motorcycle towing service. The BMW motorcycles arrive at the dealership with these fantastic square metal tubing frame crates, surrounded by NICE quality 1/4" birch plywood! The pan the bike wheels sit in is all steel and it brings a good price for...

If you are tossing cutoffs of plexiglass and sintra board, etc., and the dumpster divers are going for that, just put a plywood box outside the rear of your shop and dump the scraps (anything 6"x6" or larger) into that box. The scroungers will come and empty it for you on a regular basis. :Big...

SHRED EVERYTHING! A competitor can pull old invoices out of your trash and use it to steal your customers. "Mr. Brown? This is D. Diver calling. I noticed that you paid $5,000.00 for that new sign you just hung on your front wall. Take down my number. I could have made that same sign...

I'd love to know how you figured that out! Do you have a site for font identification, or ???

Gosh ... so many variables to consider. What TYPE of restaurant is it? If it is a 50's Diner, the menu will look different than if it is a high end steak house. Things like colors, paper choice, lamination, etc. will all come into play. Some menus are not laminated. Since they ARE menus...

Not that error, but something similar. It involved putting all of the vinyl on a large banner, only to discover AFTER it was all done that the heavy nylon sewn-in support strap at the top of the banner to help prevent sagging was actually on the BOTTOM of the banner. They hung it on the fence...

Yep! nothing will cause your heart to skip a beat like that "joke." :banghead:
