  1. Mactac 6398 Metallic Enhancers Laminate alternative?

    Looks to me like fellers has both in stock...
  2. flex led

    I agree with JBurton, good stuff with warranty is 10x cost (at least) of the amazon/ebay stuff and there are loads of offshore etsy sellers for this type of signage. Something to look into is that GSG supposedly wholesales this kind of sign but I suspect they just pass it along to some overseas...
  3. Question Has anyone heard of.......................................

    I have the same experience with gnubler. I get their bid requests frequently and rarely even bother to look. I had one experience with them that I will share, not to slam anyone, just to provide my experience as requested by Gino. We get a bid request (one of the first few I received from them)...
  4. What to do about 'Rivets from Hell!'?

    Have you looked into ackland frames?
  5. Bit cooling when cutting aluminum

    I found this interesting a couple of years ago when looking into vortex tube coolers. I don't run any coolant but also do low volume aluminum cutting usually 063 and 080. Like others have said the right bit will do the job, but I have no doubt that coolant or lubricant would make the same bit...
  6. Interesting business opportunity

    Take a look at his books and as others have mentioned look at ONLY the big orders each year and if they are consistent, basically if the top 10 clients in sales each year are consistent and can support the business I would likely move forward, if not probably pass, maybe pass along to someone...
  7. Viable Alternatives to SIGNS365?

    I agree 100%, I guess my point was that there are some customers that are unscrupulous enough to want an extra "freebie" out of an $11 job just to see what they can get away with. I personally avoid that type of customer as I'm sure most of you do, but I would bet S365 and other wholesalers deal...
  8. Viable Alternatives to SIGNS365?

    I thought the same thing, why wouldn't they just hit reprint and call it a day, but then I thought about it and came to the realization I would do the same thing. As someone else mentioned they probably make next to nothing on an $11 order. Now put yourself in their shoes and replay this...
  9. Anyone interested in a Wazer waterjet cutter?

    I was really interested in them until I looked at the cut speeds and stuff, would be super fun to play around with but I just don't see it getting much practical use. Sounds like your experience confirms that notion. I was surprised at the garnet usage but really that's no big deal if you are...
  10. Halo letter construction

    I would look into UL catalog as that might give you the manufacturer (if its not actually gemini). I would take a look but don't have the time tonight, keep us posted if you find them, they are useful. Maybe put a call into MBS standoffs, they have really been stepping up their game.

    Mcmaster has some plastic ones but not clear. https://www.mcmaster.com/corner-brackets/material~plastic/
  12. Question IS GRIMCO LIKE THIS WITH EVERYTHING?

    Depends on your rep but yes, definitely a game that they play, and a silly one at that. I used to have a rep that stopped by the shop and wrote a list of everything we used commonly and a few things we might get from them if pricing was good. He called a few days later and said he adjusted our...

    Not sure exactly why but this winter has seemed to be extra long, I'm over the double digits below zero and ready for the spring thaw.

  15. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    Wishlist vs budget....
  16. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    Me as well, getting a DOT number and physical is no big deal and essentially free, a bigger lift and trailer plus a big truck MIGHT put you past 26,000 but I doubt the setup was that big? I have thought about going with an all-terrain scissor lift and trailer, it is so nice to have the work area...

  18. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    Also look up Rick Williams articles on his little setup and how he has used different lifts over the years, some good insights from a pretty clever dude.
  19. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    No offense intended, but it sounds like you have a lot of research to do. Unless you are VERY rural and not worried about liability and working for/by yourself, fitting a new or different basket is basically a non option. Out of curiosity I looked into putting a different basket on a 10 year old...
  20. Crane Below Bucket, Why??

    Look all over the country and contact some of the good manufacturers and tell them what you are looking for and have them keep an eye out. I bought my first truck last fall (old 35' elliot ) and mostly bought it because it was a great deal. Depending on what you are doing and who you are working...
