Been working on a job with a "committee" for a few months now, and after a ton of revisions and changes they seem to be ready to go ahead with the job. So I tell them I need a deposit of x amount to start the job. They have known this for awhile now. Today I get a call that they cant do a...

Been working with a committee on a routed/carved sign now for about six months or so. Actually, there was a span of about five months where they were trying to get the funding together. There are about five women on this committee and they all have different ideas. I have made numerous changes...

Guy came by the shop the other day, said hey man, I need me some stickers! Shows me where he wants it on his truck, then I ask him what he wants on it. He then rolls up his sleeve and shows me a tattoo. Thats what I want dude! Actually the first time anyone has ever done that here. After...

I hope all you signs101 folks have a wonderful thanksgiving with your families and friends! Havent been on here much lately. Been a really slow year for sign for me, and I recently was in the morgue, uh hospital for a couple days because of diabetes, which I didnt know I had, butttt, now I do...

I just messaged a guy on Facebook who was showing his new signs for his local election that he ordered on the net. Told him that by doing that, he was not giving any of the local sign guys a chance to make the money and pour it back into the local economy. He told me that he got 50 4x4 signs...

Installed this sign Saturday. Easy digging, but it was still too dang hot! I was hoping they liked the deisign on this, as its not the norm for church signs around here. I really like the shape.

Where did Adtechia go? Have not seen him on here for awhile.

I sometimes get referrals from other people or shops, and most just send them to me, but some want me to price it and then they price it so they can make money on the job too. How do you guys handle this? I mean sometimes, I think they price it too high and the job is lost. Do you work with...

I did an illustration for the Dorney Park graphics division of a kid on an innertube. They took that illustration and made this very cool sign for one of their water rides. They sure did a great job. Looks just like the art too!

Heckuva name, but cool none the less. I enjoy doing these types of logos. Love drawing fish. Did this all in illustrator. Client was very happy with it.

What is the bet filetype to save in for corel users to open back up with no problems? Some of the people I do work for are corel users, and I work in ill.cs5. I usually send it as an eps8 or pdf, and most of the time have no problems, unless its color. Sometimes they complain the colors are off...

One of my friends I do work for, told me yesterday about one of our prominent local politicians buying all his signs from an out of town source. Reason he knew this, is that the signs were shipped in on Avery freight, they were 4x8s, and a pretty good size pallet of them. We all have been...

Heres a couple we installed last week. All mdo on both jobs, with some hand painting, vinyl and digital printing too.

My Summa cutter is leaving one small place uncut when I cut vinyl. Its always one small place and no others. Its causing havoc when I weed though, cause I forget and when I weed, then there it goes, rippppppp. Anyone had this problem before? Thanks!

Friend of mine is considering purchasing a Roland VS 540. Asked me about the metallic option, which I know nothing about. Is it worth the extra money for this option or not?

So are vinyl cutters the new dinosaur in the sign industry? Seems like everyone is into the digital side of things now, as most subjects deal with printers and such. Im still using a cutter, and still using primarily mdo for all outdoor signs, along with lettering trucks (when I get one) with...

I need five 3' by 4' metal blanks, preferrably .063. Where can I get these where hopefully the shipping wont be more than the product? :thankyou::signs101:

I have this customer, its been two months now trying to get her to decide on an outside wall sign and bizcards. I have done over a dozen color changes, font changes, lettering size changes, then she always goes back to a previous version and then we start again. Same way on the bizcards. This...

I just ordered an order of business cards for two customers, each 500 cards. Shipping on these two little boxes of cards was 27.00. Is this normal? Seems very high to me, heck, more than the cards!
