HT thanks again for the Mule patterns the head profile was great!
I got back yesterday from Mule days in Bishop Ca. and what an event! I found out this is the 3rd largest equestrian event in the USA. I applied to get my sign shop in about 5 years ago and was told no and forgot about it. Then was called last month. I thought why did the other sign maker leave?
I was told he sold 4 signs last year to be shipped at about $80.00 plus per signs. Well he failed to ship them, so the 4 customers called the Mule days office and spoke to person in charge and she called the sign maker. He told her OH I lost the address and phone number! Wow lost the info? This was before Christmas, now the event was last week Memorial day weekend. She told him she was going to check after the first of the year if he sent the signs. She did and he didn't!
Then he was surprised when she told him he was not invited back! I did well I made 78 signs well 75 3 to be shipped in the 4 days! I am tired
I was given a lot of compliments on how much better my signs were then the other guys! There is a large group of sign makers that just do the same letter style. I talk to main owner and this what he told me, with my signs I make quality and with his shop he makes quantity!
This is what most of there signs look like. They are good carvings, but no variety. Thanks again HT! Oh I forgot I am over 400 hours on the cut motor and have had great results with my CW! Only had the board sensor hitch and I solved that problem!
