I finished the window cuts yesterday. I got 50 of them done in a record time of 3 1/2 hours.

Last night, I fell asleep early reading a book and I woke up at 2 in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. I read some more and then I decided to work on another cut that I told the shop owner I would make for his door. This cut has the Shop name and the days and the hours of operation. It looks really good. I will post a picture when I take a picture of the big sign. I did this one for him for free because he agreed on my price for his big sign.


I finished the 119" x 33" sign today . I will never do this again unless I know for sure that I have the correct vinyl. I ordered Oracal 951. It's supposed to be a 10 year outdoor sign vinyl. Well this stuff was the hardest vinyl to work with. Mind you I have only worked with two other kinds, but this stuff was so thin and it wouldn't stick. I would pull off the contact paper and the vinyl would come with it. It was so frustrating. I finished the sign, but I'm too tired to go and get rid of the wrinkles and air bubbles tonight. I will do that tomorrow. The good news is with these two jobs, my Cricut and Scal paid for it self.

amazing! as you said, the cricut and the scal are worth every single penny! Glad you are done with all that job. I wish you luck and that this shop will open many opportunity doors for you.

You must be very tired. Hope you have a good rest before embarking on another cricut/scal adventure.

Here are a couple of pictures of the door sign and the big sign for the building.

I would have lost it after the first hour. Congrats on finishing the project. I notice your posts all over and you seem to be an authority on finding things, so I am asking you if you know where to find the font used for the California Angels baseball team. I have been searching for it and can only find the logo, not the alphabet. If you know a good place to look, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

All I can say is....WOW!! TFS!!!

[sambobbitt]

You did a great job...this is the type of thing I would like to do on a small scale. What font and size did you use for the hours of operation? Sometimes I can't get small letter to cut very well but I had my pressure up higher. I am going to try lower like you suggested. Thanks for your help and inspiration!
