you can clean, buff and clean and it will help a little but I dont try any more. The cost of labor is offset by the materials and the new face will look better

keeping a clear wood look is a never ending battle but there are 2 basic options. 1. Varnish - will give you a little bit more mileage before your first maintenance but then its a complete strip and redo, no fun. 2. Oils - This would be my choice, it will need yearly maintenance but pretty...

Thats a material typically used for lightweight flooring and panels in airplanes and I am sure its available in the US but I doubt you will find someone willing to sell you a small quantity. I used to see it at Boeing Surplus before they closed the store.

When I had a retail location 4 years ago it was $125.00 which eliminated all the stuff that was not our market anyway. Now its $300.00 but we dont have a retail location and are more selective about our work. If we had a printer and did that sort of work I would think 1 hour should be the...

Welcome to Seattle, where is your shop going be?

If you need to get UL listed its not cheap - 3k to get started, 1200 a year and 450 per quarter for inspections. There are less expensive options like ETL and MET but still spendy and time consuming. We did it since many property management companies required it no for the Cities. You have to...

Its either overlapping vectors or duplicates - I hate working it Artcam so I design everything in Illustrator and import it which sometimes causes that.

you got it - plywood and start wrapping the trim around the face and at nails nice and tight as you go around then go back and add more to any loose areas. Once your happy with that squeeze on the cement on corner all the way around - using a watery acrylic cement not the heavy bodied stuff -...

You can do it but its not cheap - you need to go with a commercial solar system. We did this job several years ago where it would have been really expensive to bring power in. This is in Washington where solar is not a good idea but with the right battery it works. Wish I had the info from...

I need to lay off the StumbleUpon button and get back to work.... theres just too much good stuff out there... http://www.dafont.com/punched-out.font - not much use for signs but the kids love it. http://www.comicsanscriminal.com/#

I used to get them from Howmac - http://www.howmac.com/ they are up on Sedro Wooley. The only issue I had was that the hinges wore out over time but they are cheap and easy to replace so just let your customer know that it is a maintenance issue. I can route out something specific if you need...
