    Just normal!

    What gets people upset is when they think user error should be warranty .

    Then get billed for the estimate.

    Cut a few signs this evening. Haven't had any time recently. Both parents are 88 years old and require a lot of support.

    That Indian Motorcycle sign is one of my favorite ones I have drawn up and cut. I made it for my Dad. He had Indians when he was young.

    Indian signs are 18 gauge and Taco is 16 gauge.

    Making it a rectangle at 1/8" wide and it still gets thrown out?

    Did you figure it out? I've been offline a few days - if not, dm me a .f3d file (export from the file menu) and I can see if I can figure it out!

    I drew a simple line, and just made a separate profile of it and made a separate post process.

    I'm sure I'm adding too many steps doing it this way but still learning.

    I just need to figure out the other part of the puzzle which is the offset and lead in settings. This way only my line is cut instead of the offset lines before and after the line.

    I have a friend who has three harleys. Two of them on ones him and his twim brother bought new in 1979(Lowriders). I am making him a retirement present for the garage wall. Gotta decide colors and whether I go all out and LED it up. Traditional colors would be orange background with black lettering. I like the idea of black background and hammertone face.

    I like that the way it is. Never was a fan of the orange/black logos.

    Evening fine folks.. I bought some rocksliders for 2012 Tacoma.. for 80 dollars… I was pretty stoked until someone told me that they can bend due to them not having a pipe going from the rocksliders to the frame of the truck.. instead having metal plates welded..

    You could make a play on the original colors and use copper hammer tone for the background and black hammered to the bar and shield. How big is that sign? I could use one for my garage.

    Funny enough I have an Indian badge that I got as part of a garage sale. It was in a box of vintage woodworking tools that I was buying and I didn’t even notice until I got home and was unpacking everything. I’ll see if I can find it.
