Jim Coke Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Greetings All . I’m sure that we all have a few cool pictures or signs in our shops. Some of my best. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Good ones. My shop is far from setup as I'd like but here are a few that have hung out a few years. I will say the hourly rates are on the light side. should be doubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Olson Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Its not a sign but a poster wifey gave to me when I was between jobs. Its been hanging on the walk in door to my garage/shop since 1998. Still looking for that job :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'm working on finding that job. I can stare out a window by only moments at a time between working. And I prefer beer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 They forgot to put the TITLE of that job - it's CEO. Another qualification that's missing is "Ability to run company into the ground after negotiating golden parachute severance package."

John B Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Opening Times Open weekdays when I get round to it, possibly about 9 or 10, may be earlier, sometimes later, or not at all. I close about 5 or 6 or when the fancy takes me Sometimes earlier and sometimes later When I’m not here I’m somewhere else, but when I am here I’d sometime rather not be Recently I’ve been here a lot of the time, except when I’m somewhere else, but I should be here then too! YOU COULD CHECK FIRST BY MOBILE PHONE IF I HAD ONE WITH ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Looked all over my little corner of the world..... and I don't have any signs. I thought I'd have one or two, but the only thing that qualifies is my little sticker I made. It's card stock stamped with the shop name, and I have three of them glued to various things around the shop. I really need to get some cool signage up!

Lou L Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 My wife gave me this for the shop. It’s a good rule for hot metal handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfeile Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I wouldn't be allowed in my own shop if I had that one hanging up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Deb's version would go like this. Go to the shop STUPID! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Well Lou, your wife either just restricted you from using the shop (just joking I couldn't resist) or she thinks highly of you! And I don't have any signs in my shop, but I saw one in a rental store one time I thought was funny - "When I die, I'd like to go peacefully in my sleep just like my Grampa did. Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 He could bounce back and forth between the house and the shop! I used to have a poster of a black and white armour but the wind destroyed it. Now the only sign I have is a tin Bender "A sober robot can't do his job, he relies on your beer! Work while Bent."

Michael Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 most of this stuff is printed out and hung on the sheet metal walls with magnets, along with an ever changing collection of printouts of things I am making or aspire to make, or am inspired to try to make.

Daswulf Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I'm up in Rochester NY area for Thanksgiving weekend with my loves family. Not much play time. But Elizabeths father took me to check out a local metal artists place and this was on the wall of his shop. I like it. Also got some cool ideas from what he had hanging around. Unfortunately he was busy and I didn't get to talk with him other than an introduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gail and Mike, John's family, are good friends and live right across the way. Don't get to see them much anymore, but they're good people.

Daswulf Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Awesome Vaughn. Wish I'd have had more chance to talk with him but it didn't happen. (This trip). Anyone on the way back to PA on the way?. I do have a full small car and infant to get home but might be able to stop by. Oh do I miss my forge. Been 4 days now.
