flyinsignmonkey 0 Posted July 11, 2008 hi my name's tom ive been in the sign business for 30 years my old man was a sign painter and I started when I was 12 lettering at an easil my father put me at. my life in the business has gone thru many incarnations since then. many years working for others, in a few different shops. some huge some small. cutting and making signs of all sizes, I also worked thru the ranks as an installer running an 85' skyhook crane installing all kinds of electric signage big and small. but I always dreamed of working for myself in my own little shop like my father, well that time got closer and closer over the last few months as I realized it was time. because of several factors. I purchased an aerial sign truck several months ago when an awsome oportunity arose, formed my own llc,... and a few weeks ago left my employer. ive inked enough contracts and found enough customers to get off the ground and this month it was for a sign with 8' by 16' lexan faces that need to be replaced so, with a deposit in hand my next aquisition was a cutter/plotter. and here I am in your forum, I got a 48" copam with the signblazer elements and it arrived yesterday today im trying to get it up and running.
