I say kudos to your little gal for noticing the differences among her classmates, yet remaining totally color blind. I especially admire her candor and the ability to make a unwavering decision based on her own experiences. That will serve her (,,,and you) well in her teen years. Kudos to you...

Make sure you get nice cordless SDS drill for installing your signs. JB

Just happened two weeks ago.....so.... In a dead-serious tone of voice, I tell them that we reserve the option to jack up one side of the the floor (or ground) to make it look more level. Then I proceed with some nonsensical method of shenanigans. They always get that "Edith Bunker" look on...

Make your own stencil. With the ability to tile, you should literally be able to map the entire world. JB

Yep...the way it was explained to me was very profound: Write-offs don't put food on the table. JB

It's terribly important to offend these types early in the process...always. JB

Definitely stress in action. Anytime you roll a material (aluminum) or extrude/calendar a composite, you're going to build stress. Sandwich the two together and you're likely to get a mixed bag of issues...compression and tension...but each holding the other in check...until you cut them...

80s pop/rock....it's the soundtrack of my life during the high school years. JB

Former beekeeper here....swarms are typically very docile. They have nothing to defend (hive) and they're usually full of honey from departing their old crowded home...in search of a new, larger home. Using a CLEAN spray bottle, spray them down with water if you want to hold them in one place...

There's nothing like being able to shift a schedule to work around life's events...either joyful...or tragic. I was able to be there shortly after each new grand baby arrived. And during my mom's last year of life, I was able to drop everything in a moment's notice to take her to...

If the integrity of the surface is fine, try looking for a plating company who can do electro polishing. Stainless will hold its own polish without additional coating, so long as they're kept clean. Lawn sprinklers (hard municipal water), lawn fertilizer overspray and such will cause spotting...

I can't share the nature of the project, but I strongly suspect the customer will be an extremely pushy PITA...thanks to the "Amazon" culture we live in today. JB

Don't you just love it when a customer drops the name of a competitor AND freely shares the lower quote they received? For a $550 job, my competitor will travel a total of 200 miles more in his drive than I will (all said, he's traveling a total of 270 miles round trip). He's already lost money...

Yep....I did something similar. I sent them directly to the manufacturer of said item. It really works. JB

Also applies to our personal health as well....yet sadly, we tend to take better care of our equipment. JB

I think we have a winner.... JB

Not just Cricut, but more importantly, all the other things coming down the pike that have the potential to disrupt... JB

It's on the horizon and looming ever nearer...perhaps it's already begun to invade your business model: the democratization of all things creative via the use of almost every imaginable manufacturing device connected to a computer. Print shops were likely some of the first to feel the effects...

Au Contraire...that's exactly one of the things I had in mind. We've developed and built a lot of specialty tools and equipment that don't exist beyond our four walls. Patenting is out of the question since they're more valuable to us as a competitive advantage at this stage of the game. I...

I am a lifelong learning-addict and I tend to easily get bored unless I'm moving "forward". I'm not into TV, movies, video games or any of the assorted brain-drainers out there (and I'm not knocking you if you do...but it's just not my kind of thing). I've amassed a fairly extensive business...
