Today was a day of WHAT IFS! Sean Kirsch and Craig Sior had worked out all the hickups on the MultiCam fourth axis machine and now it was time to start figuring out the things that were now possible. We started with a basic barrel shape. A raised and bevelled letter A was added for good measure.
Yesterday was a big day. The heavy dimensional sign was to be lifted into place on the gable end of the Fox and Hounds Pub. It was heavy and awkward to handle but I had the help of the contractor on the project
Today was a day for which I’ve been waiting for a long while. Shawn Kirsch, a tech from MultiCam came to the shop to start in on setting up our new machine. We swung the gantry into position, bolted it down and and then he leveled the machine before doing hookups and dialing in the various parts
Today I made a quick trip to the Fox and Hounds to install the smaller of the two logo signs. It instantly snapped into place and looked perfect in it’s new home. Then it was back to the shop to load the larger of the two signs
This week promises to be a busy one. The highlight of course is the setting up and kicking into operation of our new four axis MultiCam. Shawn Kirsch, head tech from MultiCam, Texas will arrive on Tuesday to do the work.
This past week has gone by in a blur.
The electrician is coming to power up the new router tomorrow at last. Wednesday morning, early, I am off to Atlantic City for the presentation of my seminars there. All this means I won’t be doing any routing this week
Wednesday morning I jump on plane and head out to Atlantic City for the United States Sign Council International Conference and trade show. I was invited last year to give three presentations.
As the final painting is done we jump from project to project finishing various bits as the contractor and electrician signs off on each area. The progress continues to be a bit haphazard but definite progress is made on a daily basis. Today I painted the lettering on the beam in the kitchen
