oh for those who don't know what we all are talking about

a Electro-pounce ...is used to burn holes in paper for pattern making ..such as hand drawn pictures, letters, designed layout ...then the socks ...are filled with finely ground charcoal ..which goes through the holes to reville whats drawn ..on surface your painting

like a dog chasing squiral

Welcome! Nope...sorry.

I still have my pounce wheel and one of those fancy pounce pads that you put the chalk into. I almost got an electro-pounce ... but then I saw the fancy Gerber machine (4b or something like that) and decided that was the future.

Hello all.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

One 100 degree afternoon, I had been burning patterns for several hours. I was leaning against the grounding metal on the easel. Sitting on a stool. I was very sweaty. The spark can be hypnotic. I got very drowsy.

(Know were I am going with this?)

I was very rudely awakened.

Ah, good times!

:Welcome: to :signs101: from

Thanks for the link.
As I was reading about elctro pounce and dirty socks, I was wondering if I was on the wrong forum for a moment there. I thought I stumbled on a fetish forum. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Greetings from Irving, Texas.

Who remembers Electro-pounce devices?

Or bringing old socks to work?

Seeya

.......or the days when we had to duplicate a logo or artwork using an opague projector?

Welcome from soggy Florida!

 

[ChiknNutz]

I know what all of those are, but I sadly don't get to use them in what we normally do. Hopefully gonna change that here soon though!

Not sure about the references...
But WELCOME from Beautiful SO CAL!

Welcome. We still use ours, especially for mural work. Just don't use a metal ruler to help you with straight edges.

 

[jdb]

Welcome. I use both all the time still. Not the socks anymore though. I went high tech and got me some of those new fangled han-see pouncers.

I just love to watch when someone uses a electro pounce for the first time, I never, ever fill them in on getting shocked though. I'm still getting revenge on those that had a good laugh on me to this day - it's fun!

Hello all.

A few things I do not miss:

Opaque projectors. Nights in the parking lot to get it large enough.

Scott engraving machines. One wrong move.....

Hand cutting for five hours a printing film (pool rules) and burning it adhering it to the screen.

Our redemption in the GSP Signmaker III. Number 1744.

Now the GSP Solara...
