    Back-lighting sign Letters

    There is no Wensco in TX. His only local options are Graphics Solutions in Austin or Reece Supply, Grimco or N Glantz in San Antonio. Depending on the footage he needs, I might have some laying around.

    Back-lighting sign Letters

    The proper way to light halo/ reverse lit letters is to use a clear backer (Polycarbonate). Mount the LED to the clear backer facing the front of the letters so it reflects back on the wall and does not cause hot spots. As you stated, you will need to mount the letters at least 2 inches off...

    LED 120v to 12v converter

    If you only need 12v output with 120v input, buy an LED power supply from any electrical sign supply company (look up Reece Supply or N Glantz). They will all be 60w power supplies. It will be rated for outdoor use if inside an enclosure. There are a few that are rated for wet locations.

    Wrapping a Toolbox - Anybody done it? Vinyl Guys Suggestions?

    I did not think about reverse cutting the logo in the vinyl, that would be a good idea. The only reason I said to use 651 over 631 was because the 631 will not last as long in hotter conditions such as a garage. The adhesive is water based. The adhesive on the 651 is solvent based. 3M...

    which is the favorite label maker among the GJ crowd?

    Jess, That is a really nice little printer and not overly priced. It has a good variety of label widths, colors and types. Not sure I would ever use them but the glow in the dark and iron on labels are a nice option. I really like my Dymo RhinoPro but I will most likely pick one of these...

    Wrapping a Toolbox - Anybody done it? Vinyl Guys Suggestions?

    No need to use a plotter. Order the vinyl in the size you need (widest drawer). Cut strips slightly larger than the drawer face, apply and trim. Buy extra because you are going to mess up if you do not normally apply vinyl. Remove everything that you can off the drawer faces; handles, badges...

    which is the favorite label maker among the GJ crowd?

    I have an older Dymo Rhino Pro 5000. It works great and I really like the labels, they stick to just about anything, the adhesive is aggressive and they last. They make a printable heat shrink tubing for the Dymo printers. I prefer the standard vinyl label material but the heat shrink tubing...

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    What did you use to make the paper towel holder? It looks like that 80/20 aluminum type extrusion.

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I bought the Fuel M12 3/8im impact and to be honest, did not think I would have much use for but felt like I needed to buy it using the HD promo. Kind of like buying that gallon can of corn at Costco because it's such a good deal. Well, I had to remove all the seatbelts in my Superduty this...

    best material to make a bus bar out of

    I see that you have already ordered the Blue Sea version but the company below is cheaper. If you need anymore, maybe give them a shot. I have ordered from them on numerous occasions with no issues. They do have a small minimum though. VTE Warehouse

    Using HF coupons at Home Depot

    It effects them where it counts. The managers are bonused by how much money the store makes. Every discount makes a difference, even if it's just pennies per transaction. This I know for a fact because I have a good friend who used to be a store manager for Lowes. Just so you know, lumber...

    Gladiator 24" cabinet on woot

    People jump all over the 30in welded cabinet for $99. Seems like a good deal for the 24in welded cabinet. I don't like the short pc of track though. It's kind of useless if you buy more than one cabinet unless you want to try and line them up evenly so you can have multiple cabinets next to...

    These are outstanding. I prefer to use these unless I'm working with small guage wire, 20-32. I also have two of the manual Ideal strippers for smaller GA wire (24-32 and 16-26).
