  1. Calligraphic style

    another one of those I thought I had for sure...but no, and searching hasn't found it. Any ideas? Thanks
  2. Exterior glass etching halftone photo

    I have a client who is replacing a dozen or so windows that have a separate arch piece on top, about 24"x24". They want to have black and white photos etched into those pieces. I've done a little research but most of what I see looks like it's for interior projects. They did say they would be...
  3. White Dry Erase

    I'm looking for 48" white dry erase adhesive back vinyl. Doesn't have to be printable, we are just applying it as is to walls. I've been looking online and most of what I'm finding aren't brands I'm used to. I want it to be really good quality to last as long as possible and be fairly easy to...
  4. Carved, gold leaf, smalt

    We originally made this sign 27 years ago, it was damaged and not salvagable so we remade it. HDU carved, painted with acrylic polyurethane, gilded, smalted. PVC panels with gold leaf. Repainted posts and installed. As soon as it was carved I wish I had made the numeral smaller and a little more...
  5. Not a lot to go on....

    Client wants to use this font...not having any success finding it. Anyone recognize it? Thanks in advance.
  6. TBT Handcrafted sign

    This was made from mahogany, oak & copper. All cut on a bandsaw and hand finished with stain & varnish circa 1980. It was a private vault with security boxes for high end clients
  7. A couple scripts I thought I had

    I hate when I look at something and say to myself "oh yea, I got that...piece of cake". Anyone recognize these two? Thanks
  8. Reverse install window perf

    I have a client who wants to have some large store windows covered with window perf. They had some printed window perf on the outside but it got picked at too much so it is coming off. They still want the window perf but installed on the inside. I want to apply perf on the inside and then apply...
  9. When 9 out 20 posts on Page 1 are spam

    it's frigging annoying
  10. Photo documentation is your friend

    After 40 years of doing this I just had a new one...we were hired by a tenant in a fairly new building to do a couple wall signs, door lettering and add their name to the electric pylon directory. There was only one other wall sign on the building and what they wanted didn't match that, but it...
  11. Ugly Script

    Anyone recognize this fugly script?
  12. Fire Truck Font

    Thought it was an LHF font but I don't see it...any suggestions? Thanks
  13. Large application Etch Vinyl

    We do a fair amount of etched vinyl logos, lettering and the occasional striping but haven't done any large panels in a while. We usually use 3M. But I have a client wanting some doors and glass panels frosted and since materials change so much I'm wondering what the preferred brand/material is...
  14. Smalt Glue

    I have a glass smalt job to do. I still have plenty of smalts but can't find my can of Holdfast Oil. It would probably be rock hard by now anyhow. My usual sources (Letterhead Supply, Quill, Hair & Ferrule) for either Holdfast Oil or Smiths Cream are either out of stock (Artisan, Nepco) or out...
  15. CROSSFIT

    Looks familiar but a search through my fonts and an online search came close but not exact.... anyone recognize it?
  16. Window perf too transparent

    We did a window perf job inside a "see thru" trophy case, the case is in a wall between two rooms with glass on both sides. They wanted to be able to still see out of the back room but gain some privacy and not block the light. I was concerned if it would work the way they wanted and it doesn't...
  17. More on Trademark/Copyright

    During a recent discussion on what is and is not legal when it comes to using trademark/copyrighted designs I remembered seeing this in one of the trade magazines. Couldn't find it then, but just came across it again, from Signs of The times September 2017 about the Best in Show winner of the...
  18. Perforated Window Vinyl viewed from the back

    Seems like I would've noticed this...but I have never really paid attention to what the perforated window graphics look like from the inside. I have a client who has an interior trophy case with a glass front and back. The back is seen from inside an office. They want to give the office more...
  19. Clear coat for banners

    I have a client who is insisting on a clear coat for some double sided street pole banners about 18"x36". I was thinking a liquid applied after they are sewn may be the best way to go. I know there are a few products out there but just wanted to hear from anyone who has actually used one of them...
  20. TBT

    Just found this in my mom's attic. Circa 1975 Butera Sign School student project. And it's for Woodstock Ct where I had been living before sign school.
