Looks nice T3. Blows my shop away for organization and tidiness. I'd like to stop by in person to see it next visit to the big city. If that's OK. I drove by last month and couldn't stop, too much to do, so little time.

what some people, with or without a CNC, seem to fail to realize is that even with Herman's plans... if you are a successful sign business owner, you (and your CNC) should be able to make a few signs, profitting over $730, in LESS time, with LESS material costs...
now, making your own tools is fun, but bashing the price of good tools, or overlooking the brilliant ( and copyright protected) design that YOU DIDN'T DESIGN is not making all the claims of cheap knockoff alternatives...
Design your own like phototec or go bang out a $750 profit on some quick easy signs and considering throwing a little support out to other design/build professionals for a change!

I'm gonna attempt to answer all your questions Gigi! If I leave anything out, you'll have to come up her and give me heck in person, k? 
It's an Irwin Quick Grip clamp. It's just hanging out till I need it. I have a few clamps around just in case... you never know!
The tape on the floor... Actually, it's Hurricane tape covering cables so I don't trip and hit my head on the clamp!! It's great, sticky and does a fine job at covering the cables for me! On a side note, I like the Les Nesman office definition idea... think I'll have people "knock" if they want to talk to me!
Under the clear plastic cover... that's my Brother SC2000 USB Stamp Creator Pro for making fast, custom self-inking stamps. I sell around 5-10 stamps per month.
Machine in the background by the phone is a Titan 200 Paper Cutter with light beam cut line and false clamp plate. Programmable... holds up to 999 programs with 100 cuts per program. Installed in April of this year. Just under 14K for that toy!
Just to the left of this machine is the Graphic Whizard GW8000E Numbering Machine with dual numbering heads.
The clamp... well, it's just hanging out too!
Those beauties save me so much time and headache!
:Big Laugh If you're ever in the Calgary area or ever have the urge to visit Canada, I'd be honored to play tour guide for you and your family!

Yes, that's the Phenomenal, amazing, wonderful HP Latex!!!
Excalibur 3000 substrate trimmer/cutter. Purchased that around 6 years ago when I got our first "wide" format (42") Epson printer and customers wanted prints mounted on foam board. Has the standard blade holder for cutting soft substrates such as foam board, coro, ultraboard, etc... and it has another cut system (at the very top) that comes down to cut more rigid substrates like PVC, Dibond, etc...
The "hockey sticks" on the ends are actually part of the cool "rodless" system. This rack only holds 54" rolls and they lift off and attach back on quickly and easily. When I remove a roll, the "hockey stick" pivots to the open position ready to accept a roll. When I go to place the roll back on the rack, I place the right side over the post and rest the left side on the "hockey stick" and it pivots back into storage position holding the roll firmly in place. I'll have to video tape the action one day!
If it's the pic I think... that's a 60" rotary trimmer.
No... the bottom one is an Epson PP100 CD/DVD Publisher. It burns and prints CD's/DVD's in mass volume. Holds 100 blanks. Burns and prints 100 in around 2 hours. The top machine is a Persona C30 plastic (ID) card printer.
That is a Fargo HDP5000 High Def Plastic Card (ID) printer (right piece) with an attached laminator (left piece). This particular plastic card printer prints full color, edge to edge cards and can laminate with basic laminant or holographic over laminant for higher security. The C30 card printer I mentioned earlier does only 1 (spot) color at a time and cannot print to the edge of the card. I do some of full color front & black back "gift" cards, loyalty cards, etc... for my restaurant customers. It doesn't get used too much lately, but 3 years ago I bought it specifically to do a $5000 job for a customer. That job paid for the equipment and netted a $1800 profit. Since then, I've done around $10,000 in sales on it.
Foreground... the closest one is the Gerber EnVision Plotter that (obviously) compliments the other piece which is the Gerber Edge FX printer!

Yes, you are!
Yes, it's a Snap-on compressor! The compressor is used for the piece of equipment to the left of it which is a Graphic Whizard Creasemaster Plus. It does Strike Scoring of digitally printed product and also has a Strike Perf and an Impact Perf option built in which I use for one specific customer. That's an expensive little piece (more than the paper cutter), and it get's used almost daily!
Just to the left of this machine is the Graphic Whizard GW8000E Numbering Machine with dual numbering heads.

Oh, don't be jealous... it's not as big a collection as it looks. Pictures can do that you know!
Those beauties save me so much time and headache!You are welcome to come play in my shop anytime Gigi!
