    Guess technology is allowed, unless they have pedal powered printing devices.
  2. Lets talk about cheap... i mean CHEAP

    what is a hotterite? Nevermind, it's hutterite and they are like the Amish race. They might be using a mafia like the Amishes. Strong arm sales and all that stuff.
  3. Looking for odd sign hanging bracket system.

    Agreed Bill. I've made four signs so far with four more to do and my system worked perfect but one of the higher ups is requesting they be hung with their approved system which I'm sure is locked in with one of their other vendors. It's BS for sure, but if I have to, I'll make something myself...
  4. Looking for odd sign hanging bracket system.

    Marlene they're Walmart guidelines. Great detailed instructions but no reference to the hardware. I can fabricate the standoff easy enough, but the opposing arrow spline is the part I'm not finding anywhere online. In fact, I've never once see one until now.
  5. Looking for odd sign hanging bracket system.

    Anybody ever run across these before? I need to hang a projecting sign using this set up. Sign is 38"h. X 20' w. made from light weight 1" GatorPlast material. Also looking for this oddball spline joint for the vertical seam in the middle where the two 10' sections meet. I can come up with other...
  6. 3M VHB Failures?

    I had the same thing happen recently. It's the paint for sure.
  7. Fun little house sign

    Perfect customer comes in to buy a sign for his daughters house. Gave very little direction, just wanted something beachy, with the name being a song by some guy in Key West. Okayed the first draft, sign is 18" X 22" made from scraps. Didn't ask for a price up front. Only thing I purchased was...
  8. What's your "Go To" sign supply store?

    N. Glantz! They deliver daily and rarely mess up orders. Generally have everything I need and even their outside sales rep is a nice guy. Now Grimco? They can kiss my azz!!!!!! I purchased most of my supplies from Sign Supply U.S.A. for at least fifteen years and had an open house account...
  9. Outdoor Wayfinding Sign Refinishing

    Sorry but those are crappy signs and the client knows not what is correct, and you are expanding beyond your capabilities.
  10. "Invitation to Bid"

    It's against my religion to bid.....
  11. HDU Plaque Fail When Inset in Stone

    I've never had luck with adhesive alone. I always use both hardware (studs in this case) with adhesive... Cheap insurance.
  12. how can i make this bigger and not look like crap?

    I like the idea of telling him his trucks are too small. Big truck envy is a problem with a lot of males.
  13. More "Romanceing the Brush"

    Beautiful! Brings back memories of work from my old days. Actually inspires me to whip out a brush, open a can of 1-shot, and have at it. I'm looking forward to the day when I don't have to focus on the business side and can kick back and paint for the love of it:rock-n-roll:

  15. Managing a business thats overloaded with work

    I've been there and done the same thing several times over my career. It really does work.
  16. Made In USA Sign Wood & PVC

    Nice project!
  17. Mike Stevens on the Art of Brush Lettering - VHS -1985

    I don't know about the copyright issues, but having met and known Mike personally, I think he would be in favor of as many people using his knowledge and passion for design. Especially with what's being put out today and passed off as sign design. His passion for teaching design and layout was...
  18. Want opinions on banner design

    So I edited the design from all the suggestions and this is what Reverend Scamilton shot down.
  19. Want opinions on banner design

    I made many of the changes that everyone suggested but the client decided to stay with the first version. I think it looks contemporary like a lot of the designs I see around these days. Who really wants boring block letters anyway. The key is to stand out among a sea of blah...
  20. Want opinions on banner design

    No I'm sure this is legit. I gave them my bank routing number for the deposit and they are in the process of sending me payment. This isn't the shipping scam that goes around. They're letting me use my own shipping company.
