  1. self employment and banks

    Me too. You: The IRS wants to know your GROSS to figure out taxes, lending institutions want your NET to loan you money. It would seem to me that banks could somehow "understand" how self employed taxes are done but I really dont think they have a clue OR they dont care since a lot of bank got...
  2. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    Stores don't staff properly and want you to check out yourself, what did they think was gonna happen? I'm not saying it's right but they are not blameless here either.
  3. self employment and banks

    If you don't qualify then you don't qualify. I don't understand your bellyaching here, you say all is good but then bitch that the bank looked at covid numbers which were bad. Sounds like they are doing their job to me and you're not telling the whole story. Be honest here, you can only...

  7. Leveling the bed of our Zund G3 Cutter

    All you need is a cheap dial indicator and a way to attach it to the gantry. Find a 0 point and adjust from there ,I assume the Zund has leveling screws under the vac plates? It's no different than leveling any table, land, concrete forms etc, no need to call a tech or be scared of it.

  10. Advice on application tables

    We bought a Fayon smart table direct from the manufacturer in China, these things are pretty basic and didn't see any need in blowing a pile of money on one. Nobody liked it at first but it's invaluable once you get the hang of it, it gets used every day. I've never had an issue getting parts...

  13. "No More Walk-ins" - Good Idea, or Terrible Mistake?

    I often wonder if these "wholesalers" solicit direct business if they see enough volume coming through from one of their sign shop customers. Similar to what Amazon did to sellers years back. Under a different name of course so nobody knows the difference

  16. Help with making aluminum signs!

    Why would you replace these or even take them off? We have a construction equipment paint shop and always mask them off. If there's a pile of rust behind them, which is rare, we will remove it and put it back on after. Never replaced a serial plate though

    Oracal 215 lasts a very long time, on par with cast, but they raised the price so high that it's hard to justify.
