  1. Arthritis anyone???

    Im 26 also and had it since i was 16. Seen two doctors and two rheumas and they all told me the same thing, take perscription pills to help the pain, but there is no cure for it. I was seeing a chiropractor for awhile which helped alot but just got too expensive. I was told arthritus is...
  2. I've heard it all now!

    I would normally think 230 is expensive also, But I went to a new dentist last year and got my cleaning done. I dont have dental and told him i was paying cash before the cleaning was done. Afterwards, they handed me an invoice of 650.00. My jaw dropped and said your crazy. They went on to...
  3. Copyright? 18 and older only!

    Good advice thanks rick. Hope fully I can get him into something more along the lines of a custom logo knowing all this now. It should be a fun one to sketch up.
  4. Copyright? 18 and older only!

    Thanks rick. That was a good link. But what are your thoughts on the both together? one being tm and the other public
  5. Copyright? 18 and older only!

    It will probably turn into that and i will try to steer him that direction again, but for this first meeting he wanted something simple to start and see what their reaction was. I am not that worried about the whole thing mostly just curious how cautious i should be on this one.
  6. Copyright? 18 and older only!

    Customer is a disabled person that has recently been making speeches about the topic of sex. Not sure how else to describe that. But he wants me to put this image on a couple hats and shirts that he can wear to the meetings and possibly sell to those interested. Its not a logo of any business...

    I got a ticket the other day, 40 in a 35, It was a 35 zone, that went back up to 45, so a couple hundreed feet before the 45 sign i slowly sped up to the new speed limit, when the cop clocked me. I explained to him I was just adjusting to the new speed and he wrote me a ticket anyways and said...
  8. How do you un-roll giant lexan sign faces?

    Rolling back up is even more dangerous. Suspend yourself from the cieling, mission impossible style and cut away. I always have a helper on this thing, which helps alot.
  9. Need a sandblaster!

    Live alittle ways from you, but i can say that i use a big outfit that makes trailers and they use their trailer blaster for my signs and they do great and price is good too. Are they not too excited about blasting the signs for you, cause if they enjoy doing business with you, like mine is...
  10. Substrated for lighted sign face

    I had a job just like this within this year. Similar size also. Hanging 30' from the ground. That was a fun day but we got it up. Maybe ask around for what kind of equipemtn should be used for hanging a sign that size. I certainly wouldnt suggest our method (it was our first of this size...
  11. Aluminum doors

    Thanks everyone, very helpful. I still think printing and couple years worth out of a removable vinyl is the best option. I see that phottex is a fabric vinyl. I have used fabirc vinyls before with much frustration. its probly better, but ill explain everything and see what they want to do...

  13. Aluminum doors

    Thanks for the ideas. I will have to research phototex. never heard of that. Its not that the customer is being cheap, i think if they had something they could resuse, they wouldnt mind paying for it.
  14. Aluminum doors

    O yeah, they were wanting to hopefully re use these when needed.
  15. Aluminum doors

    I had a good existing customer recently ask for some signs for a couple rental trucks they are using to keep things moving during their 2 month busy season (christmas). And by trucks i mean semi. They were wondering about temporary signage they can throw on the doors with their DOT numbers and...

    Okay this is what i do and it works very well. I get a wrinkle sometimes, it happens, but about 95% of the time none. heres some directions to this quick sketch. Start by pulling out the Ttape to the edge of the graphic being carefull you dont touch the graphic yet. set it down in the...
  19. Anyone else buy dumb stuff they can't justify?

    My dad has had a set just like that for well over 20 years. I use to help my lil bro fix his Gi Joes with them, you know the little rubberband thing that holds them together, they worked great. Its funny someone mentioned the 382 pickup thing or whatever. Out of high school i worked for my...
  20. lxi sign software.any good?

    Lxi works fine for vinyl work. I use it along with illustrator. If your into the effects, then better have another program on hand (illustrator, photoshop, etc.) Theres some stuff i have noticed on other programs that i wish it had. Latly have had some issues with it and windows 7, even...
