I am thinking of purchasing a Carvewright

Airborne, are you by any chance stationed at Bragg?

I hear that - I retired in 2011 - I can't count how many times I had to deal with the same sort of thing. It will all work out I am sure. Let us know when you get one.

I have 2 more years and I can retire. I will post on here when I get one. I am sure I will have some questions.

I have my retirement orders sitting on my dresser

296 days left for me (not that I'm counting) - USAF
I've loved every (well most) minute of it though-

That is great. The Army has been good but I am ready to retire.

I have been retired for 18 years.

Since you are looking at doing signs it would be worth looking into someday doing Awards and Plaques. Two other Forums to look at if your interested in learning more is Sawmill Creek and Engraving Etc.

There is a process called CLTT or Color Laser Toner Transfer. It uses a special coated paper that you print using a color laser paper printer with a bypass tray. It lets you use a heat press to apply text to brass tags and much more. Then there is Sublimation, similar but with special ink and paper and a heat press too. Like printing a T Shirt. I do the Fire Tags and Plaques as seen on my site. Then there is the Laser Engraver side of Awards.... Lots to think about.... The CW is a GREAT place to Start....

Good LUCK,

Lawrence, I was discharged from the USAF Friday the 13, Jan '61 at Luke AFB in Phoenix. I had been a the 612th AC&W Squadron (gone now) in Ajo. They sent me there from Thule Greenland. My #2 son has been bouncing between active and reserve for many years after 8 active. He runs the body and fender shop for KC135s and C17s at March ARB here. My oldest grandson is a senior in HS, but has already signed up and will be going to basic late this summer. He signed for 6 years. His aim is eventually - para rescue.
