  5. Hall of Fame threads

    That's interesting, must be an age thing. I don't even remember posting those words. Maybe I need to be checked in, for further analysis.
  6. Speeds and Feeds for Alum

    Those feeds and speeds area a good starting point, what is your hold down method, is it solid? ANy vibration and your finish is crap. Personally I only use Belin, $33 a bit single flute but nice finish. Is this a 1/8" spiral flute your using? 1/8" CED? Or a engraver bit?
  7. LED based 'flourescent' tubes

    First, welcome to the forum newby. Let's cut through the "Green" BS. Fluor & CCFL lamps are 100% recyclable, LEDs are not, your LED lamps are made where? You're saying the normal use of fluor lamps cause health risks? Fluor lamps do not buzz unless they are magentic, I haven't seen a...
  8. Sign causes fire

    If it was caused by the sign, 9 and a half times our of 10, these fires are caused from no metal conduit being used. The original sign installer AND any company that ever came to service this sign we be FULLY responsible.
  9. Quick Exterior Install Video

    Here's what I think, and take it for what it's worth No offense and not sure if you do installs or just pure design, but I sure hope you don't charge by the hour for installs. I could have installed that banner by myself by the time this video was over. This is not something to show clients...
  10. Solar Powered Sign Shop - One year later

    All these links are hard to follow. So you are saving $3600 annually in energy costs of electricity usage? Or if not what are you saving per year vs your previous bills, on average? Also, do you know how long on average you can expect your system to go maintenance free, how long do the panel...

    What was the total upfront investment? Not just out of your pocket, but whatever you received in rebates.
  12. silva trim for channel letters.. tools?

    Sounds like maybe using the wrong trim cap for a particular letter. I like Jewellite too, but only on large letters over 30"+, anything smaller PLASCO Trim Cap. Much easier and faster to fabricate with, won't split on the corners, easier to notch, etc. I have signs that are 16/18 years old...
  13. silva trim for channel letters.. tools?

    That's funny, I guess they make a tool for everything.
  14. silva trim for channel letters.. tools?

    Silvatrim is no more, but never heard of a tool to notch, unless you mean a hand notcher used for sheet metal and alum commonly used for notching returns of channel letters. I've never use that for trim cap, I've always used a drywall type knife to notch. But PLASCO is back now *COUGH*...
  15. Sign Shop Recycling by the numbers (real evidence it's worth it)

    amazing how "feeling good" sells, and sparks the emotion to pay more for something that is unnecessary. Legislation is even passed and lobbied so you and I pay for a product someone else uses that is handicapped in the market place that otherwise would never make it by itself based on it's own...

    Need a bigger pic, at the same time post what's behind the wall. I would recommend you get yourself a HV probe too.
  19. ISA Las Vegas, Who is going?

    If your at one of the neighboring hotels like Excalibur or Luxor, you only need to take the tram to get to the convention, NY NY or MGM you just need to walk across the bridge and then take the tram from Excalibur. If you're walking the streets you will be walking far, don't forget to visit the...
  20. First "professional" sign you made.

    I consider my professional career started after I became self-employed and obtained my contractors license at 22. After getting my license we landed "The Old Spaghetti Factory" restaurant account. We did their first electric sign here in San Marcos CA, which propelled us from the garage, to...
