  1. Saw the movie lastnight, great flick! The first previews that originally aired made it look cheasy, but the previews a week before showed a different side of it. Lastnight on a rainy night made the perfect atmosphere to go out and see it. Not giving anything away but it's worth seeing, has a serious side plus some good dry humor. Not a wait for video movie "The Hitch" is next on our list.
  2. skippy what are you doing? skippy why are you talking to yourself?
  3. I'm going to be moving a client and both channel letters down the street. I'm going to be re-doing the vinyl bands that they have for their windows. They want me to also reproduce a large 4 color advertisement on their window. I have a PC-60 but it's probably going to be around a 4' to 3' Width. Proabably a little to large and it's going to be on a window. The lastime I did one was for a Illuminated Logo Box and I think it was a Gerber Edge...maybe I just know that the quality has to be for exterior and hold up. This window will face the sun from sunrise to sunset. Anyone do Wholesale work for the trade? I need to get some basic estimates, i.e. by the sq' footage

  5. Luke it is a pretty fuuny how a lot of us ended up doing signs, I don't ever remeber being in High School and thinking to myself, "One Day I wanna do signs". A lot of my personal fellow trademen have real odd backgrounds. My old boss from long ago had a PHD in metaphysics, and my glassblower has a PHD also in some sort of scientific glass physics. I mean this guy builds his own ovens, refrigeration and equipment. I don't even know how he builds what he builds but he's a tube bender, and a very damn good one. The sign industry is a very strange one & I think a lot fall into it by accident, IMO. Welcome to the Board Luke! P.S. in RE: to videos, it looks like your in the UK. I was gonna suggest you go to the Las Vegas Trade show I know their going to have some hands on seminars for airbrushing & vinyl.

  6. Don't forget Flowers, Dinner & Candy for the lady's. :D
  7. That's exactly what happens too. I think I saw in the site where my panel saw comes from they make a fence that pushes the stock up against the rails firmly, maybe I need to try that. There's a couple of plast suppliers here that use panel saws too, i'll need to pay more attention to how theirs is set up. thx for your input :smile011:
  8. Is it in the font and clip art CD, I don't see it.
  9. Love this drill. I finally broke down and got one mainly for hanging simple sings and banners. I usually have the corded variations of this hammer drill but after using my other 12volt cordless (non-hammer) and taking forever to drill into a stucco wall, enough was enough. I don't wanna have to have two drills, look for power e.t.c. and wow does the battery last a lontime. I also got the new version Dewalt radio for christmas, my old one finally took it's licks. It has a AUX slot like the old one but has better sound thanks to Fosgate who makes the audio components. The AUX makes it easier to plug into my ipod for music on the jobsite. Even better now ipod has an adapter so you can broadcast out your music in FM and tune into with any radio to listen to it. So no more stero cord, works in the car too.
  10. Anyone have any good saw blades they use for cutting clean acrylic & especially Lexan? I need one for my 8" panel saw blade. I'm guessing more than 60 teeth, i've been using a 40 tooth blade and it cuts okay for acrylic but as soon as I cut poly-carb it kicks it back or blasts it. I have a 80 tooth on my table saw and it cuts poly-carb great but it's a 12" blade, and more room for teeth.
  11. Do some of these sign software programs come with plug-ins or something that output the braille dots? I though Flexisign had it.
  12. Tell you what Randy, CNC opened a Whole new world for me. I've been doing electric signs for years, but since recently buying one I want to do other hobby's with it :D . They are bigtime money makers and can make your life so much easier. I just bought a Shopbot CNC Router for everythign included under 20k. Wiring, dust collector, router bits, software. I don't really know anyone else personally who does what I want to do with it, more due to competition. I have one good friend but he mostly uses it for cutting the aluminum for his channel letters with some lite duty lettering. I've mostly been using it for lettering and some interior signs. I jsut bought some V-carving bits and engraving and plan to take some time teaching myself as much as I can. I have no one to teach me so I plan to take a 3 day ArtCam class over at Shopbottools in North Carolina. IMO and I don't have to much experience with it yet but since I bought the router from shop bot and want to learn a software they carry and use I might as well learn from them. I don't think the class is very much either, $500.00 for 3 days, cheap compared to what I will be able to do with that knowledge. Here's a few pics of my router and what i've done with it. So for the power and control you have for under 20k is very nice, I got the 3HP Columbo HF Spindle on mine, and still have not attached the mist cooler yet. It roars through material with ease. I'd peep out their site. :beer:ShopBot Router
  13. speaking of superbowl I have my Steaks marinating now for 2 days :D I was trying to preserve your monitor life with that black background
  14. Today is the day :beer: BBQ!!!
  15. :D WOOOHOOO 1st Thread on the new board
  16. Sorry, With this board is very limited to what I can do, & I'm not able to bring Daves individual post into the locked forum so I had to do a cut & Paste job. Sorry :( I'm upgrading in a week or two. To a less "Boring" Site. I was just planning on deleting the Sign Fab posts of the thread, not the entire thread. In the future I'm just going to put a temp notice of where to look at on info on Sign Fab and the take it down. But yeah, Signindustry.com Bulletin Board blows
