Doing a truck, trailer and job signs for a new customer. He sent me his logo and asked me to size it up and give him a firm cost. I did and we agreed to start. Got the deposit, yesterday. However, I then asked him, how is he allowed to use the name he chose ?? The name is "Pro Cuts". I...

Ya know, we all get these crazy phone calls about insurance, your google account is running out, we can boost your website sales and numerous others. So, I'm kinda on light duty this week, so I can stay on the phone more/longer than usual. As these calls come in, did you know if you let them...

artwork for the front and two side panels. I've searched about everything I can and coming up empty. This is about the best picture I can find and it's terrible. This is a freebie job for a friend who lives down the road and has some old jukebox machines and this is his favorite and the paint...

I go this way almost everyday and this is something I was ready for today. Had my camera ready, but there were a few cars in front of me, so sorry for the smallness of the photos. About 75 geese crossed all total. This lake gets like this every year. Just something else to feel good about.

Remove the door handle to do this ?? It only hits the two front doors at that small spot. We have comply Egress vinyl for it and just thinking for just 2 door handles, maybe just not take them apart. Anybody agree ?? Thoughts or wisdom appreciated. Gino

I just got off the phone with an attorney's office who is looking for some new signs for their new location. These are supposedly learned people, yeah right. Every other word out of her mouth was uhh, ummm, ya know, like, uhh........... You hear it on the radio these days, on television...

I don't usually bash vendors or product which has gone bad and don't really like when others do it, but something has happened here and I won't mention the member's name, but they are a somewhat large vendor on these boards. Got an e-mail to quote on a number of double sided signs. The way the...

Someone has another thread going about the name of a particular tool they needed. Quite understandable, not knowing everything in the business, but someone mentioned something about unknown names or what other people call any type of part or component Therefore, I thought it would be neat to...

something silly in his/her career ?? Could be from 50 years ago or present day experiences. :doh: I have a whole slew of them, but one I remember was hand painting a double sided sign on this guy's property. I coated out over the old stuff and was relettering with the copy he gave me. Now...

I'm quoting a guy for repairing a sign. Seems, while delivering some goods, he ran into an electric sign and tore the end off of it. So, he left me his phone number and e-mail address. I called the following day and gave him a verbal quote and he said fine, I'll get back to ya. The next day...

Have a customer bringing in a truck next week and wants to hide the ghosting of the old graphics. It's really bad and other than painting it, it has to be covered. The lettering going on this truck is small for being a 24' box truck. It's not worth wrapping and such, as the graphics are only...

Here's one I did around 1975. Poster paint on green shocard. All off the brush. Notice the gingerbread all around as things don't end up perfectly centered, so that saved our @sses many times. That took maybe 45 minutes to an hour. No speedball on this, just brushes.

Has anyone ever heard of or is using SmartProcure ?? :thankyou: Gino

Pointed Tweezers. The kind Gerber used to sell. Are they still available ?? :thankyou: Gino kinda like this.

As we progress into 2018, I want to thank you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery. I can no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying...

Sign Shops must be way ahead of their time.... at least in thinking and business sense. Just heard an announcement that Burger King is gonna start to have various prices for your orders, when being placed inside or at the drive-up window. So, if you order a Quarter-Pounder, a Whopper or any...

I was looking for a font. Found it in my library, but not the correct weight, so I went searching. It appears, no other weights are available in this type style. Ours is called Bernard MT Condensed. Anyone else know the answer to this mystery ?? :thankyou: Gino

One of my favorite foods is PIZZA. I can eat it hot, warmed up or cold for leftovers. We have pizza shops on every corner and several in each mall around here, so there's never a question as to where to get pizza. They mostly all have their unique flavors and we'll blended flavors, too. Now...

I asked them for their files and they said they don't exist, just this fuzzy one, so they're willing to pay me to re-create it. :thankyou: Gino
