Well.... I stumbled onto a first-generation Bowflex tread climber this afternoon (TC-5 manually operated with no motor). They paid over $1,100 for it two years ago and only want $200, but it's just like new since they had health issues and could not continue using it. It's extremely...

Yep...I've already put together a nice set of plate-loaded weight equipment. And besides increasing strength, resistance (weight) training helps to increase bone density as well. There appears to be ton of Precor and other high-end stuff on Craigslist in my area. It looks like I have my...

I am in awe! That is the coolest home gym I've ever seen. Longevity is just a fringe benefit. It's the quality of life I'm after, for sure. My mom passed away this past week and it's been a wild ride these past 10 months. Two of the residents at her assisted care home were ten and twenty...

Still holding on to my New Year's resolution from two years ago and I'm ready to take it to the next level. I do a lot of walking outdoors during the nicer weather but now that winter weather is looming ever near, I want to stay consistent with my daily regimen. I've had my eye on a couple...

As stated above, your pattern letters can not be plastic or they will warp or melt into your substrate. The ones I have seen in the past were either wood or aluminum. If you plan to make your own pattern on a router, make sure you put enough draft angle on the sides to prevent them from...

We have just a plain Jane clock, nothing fancy. We had considered a theft-proof clock, but since it's always being watched, we didn't bother. JB

"Monogram" is a very ambiguous term. What are you trying to accomplish? JB

Six months ago, I was where you are now. I got Acronis True Image and it's awesome and easy to use. Since then, I now have two separate clones on standby and several hard drives that I back up on often. JB

But hey...at least it looks as though your sign made it to the top of their portfolio page. Just sayin'. JB

Are the letters consistently off in the same direction consistently, or is it random? Try using sign vinyl and see if you get the same results. JB

We also do monuments. Hello from Michigan. JB

We also do monuments and have been down this road. From the looks of things, you're getting an extremely ragged cut. My guess is that the key in the tool holder (bore) is not exactly at the 9 o'clock position. This could account for why the stencil is not cutting properly since you may be...

Stunning. I absolutely love the numerals. I'm ordering it for our monuments. JB

We use AI CS6 and we have 25 various sized art boards on each customer template. One art board is for full scale mockups and the others are various sizes for printing / plotting and for artwork approvals. All we do is drag our artwork to a new art board and output to a secured .pdf. Each art...

One of our local business does that very thing, and another business places all their NSF checks under a piece of glass at the checkout counter for everybody to see. Talk about a little positive peer pressure. JB

Kudos. We have bronze commemorative plaques made for our milestones. JB

You're basically in the back yard of Signs365...outsource it. JB

Establish a limit as to how much left-over material you plan to keep on hand (size limit, quantity, etc...), otherwise it will breed like rats and you'll be overrun by the mess. Real estate is costly. There comes a point in time where the chaos of managing it will exceed the benefit of keeping...

Smaller letters with serifs and fine strokes always fight with my eyes on a dark background... We do a lot of engraving on jet black granite, and serifs and fine strokes always seem to get lost and don't add a bit of appeal. Take another look and see if you arrive at the same conclusion...
