I'm still in awe of the floor in the vehicle area.

With those 6-8 weeks of vacation you europeans enjoy every year on average, I can tell where you must spend part of yours. LOL

At least we Americans can use the excuse that we just don't get enough time off during the year to properly clean our shops.

It will be lucky if I get 3-4 weeks vacation. I clean me shop every week. I think that the appearance of your shop shows how your customers think your deliver your product/services.

Your the Apple Store of the sign world.

I was attempting to be completely humorous and the commitment you have to quality and service is totally obvious.

Excuses me, misinterpreted.

Here's our place. About 3000 square feet. The only thing I'm not showing is our 'bay'. It's got a 6'3" tall door and is about 12' x 16', so needless to say, we do most of our vehicle lettering/graphics on location or outdoors, as weather permits.

Damn, that is a no messing around screenprinting operation. Sweet.

Very nice shed. Is that your shop ??

Here are 3 photos of our shop. The truck bay area can house up to 5 vans at one time and still have room both sides, front and back. We raised the roof to 16' for almost 60', so we could put tractor trailers in there, too.Heat out there isn't great, but in our 17 years there, it has done well.
The other is our old paint room, which still sees a lotta painting, but more vinyl work is done in there, these days. It's also the place that houses most of our tools and the Keen Cutter and Fletcher. The far end is a one-armed bandit with racks. The other picture is the reason for this post. We built a second floor around the top of our flatbed room. This was the original vinyl room, until 2009, when we purchased our flatbed. There are more rooms and work areas. The whole shop is around 8,800 sq ft

You must promote cut vinyl quite often? Do people request cut vinyl over there?

Your fingers must hate you for not just printing everything.

Hi HDvinyl,

Depends on the order, usually it's up to me to decide if I use cut vinyl or print.
I just wanted to have the most of our colors in stock. So a rush order is possible. This works also for printing in combination with the HP Latex.

Coert, It looks nice but it doesn't look like a real shop. Look like a trade-show booth whats with the balloons?

What exactly does a "real shop" look like?

Looks great to me.

No, I wouldn't. If it's efficient and gets all of your work out the door and you can handle to your max, then it's all ya need. My first shop was 26' x 35'. I also had in the beginning, 7 people working in there. We all had stations and hand-painted everything. No need for laminators, printers and all this digital stuff of today. Just paint stations and one screen operator.

Heck, today, I have some Hammond organs in the shop, a PA system and 2 bicycles...... but they aren't really taking up any valuable space. What I have too much of is cut-offs. They make the walls creep in on ya.

Your shop needs some decorative balloons

Nice space!
Shot with gear360? Or fisheye?
What the screen on the left for?

Shot with my cellphone in panoramic mode and cropped down to scale in photoshop.
Left screen it so I can look at what I am weeding without a printout.

You all are like here is "our shop" or this is pics of "the shop" but how many of you are actually posting pics of your own ONE MAN SHOPS? Cool you have a job, but you don't get it till you own your own shop. It's a hard life you probably don't want.

Of all people Gino...Papyrus? of all typeface connoisseurs...

Yeah, how dare anybody take any pride in being part of a team? YOU AREN'T HARDCORE SIGN GUY ENOUGH TO STEP TO THIS!

Wha.....??

I never said I can't stand or don't like Papyrus. I tend to like it, when used in the right conditions. For those who think there is no right situation, think again.​
