slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 18, 2016 Hi everyone! I've been posting here for several years, after purchasing the MH cutter and opening a sign shop in the Baltimore, MD. region. The shop was going good, and someone offered to buy it, lock, stock and barrel. It was a large cash offer that I couldn't refuse. At which point, my signmaking was set aside for about a year (the sale included a non-compete agreement for that time). Fast-forward to 2015 -- I knew that running a business doing signage with a cutter was what I wanted to restart, and I found a new location and set things up. However, after my 12-month lease was up on that garage, I wanted a Main Street storefront, so I moved into a vacant place right in the center of town. I still run the old MH, hooked to a Dell XP laptop, and have fun every day with all sorts of things that roll in the door. I'm not a trained graphic artist, just a guy who can figure out stuff using SignBlazer (and dipping my toes into VinylMaster). I would say, without hesitation, that my experiences are similar to everyone here! I've already learned a whole ton of stuff, and I figured it's worthwhile to give back whenever I can. After over 4000 postings, I still get a kick of being here and offering my 2₵ Comments? Questions? I'm here all week. Try the veal. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go-C Graphics 856 Posted October 20, 2016 Wait, Slice has been gone? No wonder it's been so quiet around here. LOL J/K Welcome back..... Someone was asking how your RV mobile shop was doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted October 20, 2016 Ahhhhh, the MH 14" mini that was inside of my 'BreakingBad' RV? I actually abandoned that whole idea & put that mini unit on CL and it was gone in 2 hours, and I've since sold the RV, too. All my energy is now going towards running this Main Street Sign Shop. (I think the "welcome back' reference was to me re-entering the cutting game after being sidelined when I sold off the other store ---- hey, once the cutting bug hits you, it's hard to walk away!!) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That might have been me, I've been looking at camper trailers and was thinking of taking a small cutter along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted October 21, 2016 Slice I totally agree with your comment that it's hard to walk away. I think even if I shut down my business I will always keep a cutter around. Way too much fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted October 21, 2016 Yeah...I'd have to keep a cutter around for them neat custom t-shirts at least! Sue2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
