Great story Pat. You really have a gift for telling a story and writing. Thank you !

Thanks everyone, I think it helps when the filmmaker doesn't know what you do. It's an education for him as well so he try's to make it make sense to a general public.
We have another one that will be coming out soon. It's totally different so hold on to your seat for that one.

Here is a new video we just finished.

Thanks Anthony,
Should have a new video coming out any day as well.

My question would be why use mirror plex ? You can do all the thing Mike talked about with it but deep carve. The only application I can think of is using it for a fun house mirror so you could bend it.

It's gonna take one hellava big truck to get that town shipped down to Slab City !

In an effort to keep web pages looking good with new projects I am always updating them. Here is the newest page for Etched and Inlayied mirrors.

I finally had a chance to get some on site photos of the Ralph Lauren mirrors that where completed last year for one of the New York stores.

I love the internet. I got a call from an artist in Denmark who needed a glass head silvered. It's the first time I have ever mirrored anything on the first surface so it took a few try's. This Neil Young song came into my head when I started working on it. "We've been through some things toget...

Vance, I am not at liberty to give out price on forums due to my clients privacy. When I post photos of on going work my client keep up with the process through the forum. As I mensioned before, Anyone is welcome to call me any time and I will let them in on what I charge pricing. No " guarded ...

Hi Bob,
Sorry I can't disclosed prices in a public forum. Your welcome to call me about it. Here is a photo of a set of 4 I just started. These are for a bar in Virgin Gorda,

I started sign painting when I was about 12 and I'm 57 now. For years I heard that certain habits caused blindness but so far i see fine so I say just load up the brush and START STROKING !

Here it is all finished up.

Here is an update on my progress.

So nice ! Hope you had someone do a spell check !

I would suggest Frank Mason. Sorry I don't have his info but maybe someone else has it.

As always Dave very impressive !

I had some free time today so I thought I'd post some photos of the latest project I am working on for a civil war buff in Pennsylvania. Right now it is at the stage where it is antique mirrored and outlined. The eagle photo is a sample of what it will look like Just want to thanks all the great peo...

Hi Bill, If I am airbrushing a transparent color I use transparent inks and any fast drying clear, Frog juice, Fiberseal. If i am painting it by hand again I would use transparent ink or one shot and Winsor Newton "LIquin" . The one shot will never be as bright as inks but if I am doing so...

Looks great. To bad for global warming, must be why there's on North pole.

Good luck !

Over here we have a auto body primer that is polyester resin based that already ready has all the Talc like fillers in it making it very sandable.It works great over HDU.
Sad I didn't use that system on this job.

Hey Lee, Did you use white or black on that market job ?

At this point I have contacted the rep for gatorfoam which is 3A Composites and placed a claim for the problem. It's just a waiting game now. They had alot of delam problems with gator foam so they now have Gatorfoam exterior . I'm not even going to try it until I find out if they are going to honor...

Sorry I should have been more specific. These letters would be from 1" to 2" thick and could be any shape and size within a 4' x 8'. For years I was using Gator Board with great success but on the last project the face on the front is delaminating after about a year outside. I thought abou...

Just like to know what everyone else out there uses to make cut out dimensional lettering. Like 1" , 1 1/2" and 2". Also how are you painting it.

Thanks in advance.

I don't get out on the job site much anymore so when a local surf shop / coffee house owner asked me to do some lettering on his new building I jumped at the chance. Nothing fancy. The downside , it was about 100 d next to the wall yesterday.

I would call it a coffee bean and It's the first time it's happened to me. I normally get fern patterns. I've heard it happens when the glue is thick.

I think the client is going to have it framed and hang it in their bar.

Here is one I just finished yesterday

Hi Jerry ! I am intrigued by your method only taking a few hours to fully chip. That would be great to reduce my time from trimming to finished chipping.At what point does the "couple of hours or less" begin. Could you give us more details ??? Maybe we should exchange glue and see what hap...
