Hello from Sunny Cornwall

Posted by paulcornwall on May 18, 2007 at 12:29 am

Hi guys
My names Paul Bennetts, i live in Penzance down in Cornwall. I currenty work as a debt collector but look to add a little part time work making number plates, stickers etc.
The only thing is i’m very new to this and wondered if someone could help me with the equipment i need. The video section seems interesting would this be idea for a beginner like me??

hi paul
welcome to the boards mate….

a debt collector?
ill make you a deal, get some of the money in owed to me and ill train you for the next few weeks 😉 :lol1:

as for video section… this is a relatively new section of which we will be back in the swing of adding to very soon (sign uk exhibition 2007) has knocked me back a bit on its progress in recent weeks. :lol1: anyway… ill leave if its worth while or not to members mate.
one thing i would say, its probably NOT going to give you advice on the equipment you need to get into this line of work. for that, stick to the free sections/forums… tons of advice etc found there.

a good tip, add a picture to your profile, more help seems to go to those with pictures mate… makes the site more appealing too if im honest…
if you dont know how to load a picture email it to me and ill do the rest…
admin@uksignboards.com include your site name too so i know who the picture is! 😀

For little stickers and bits and pieces like that I would recommend that you look at a ROland versacamm.

I will see what 2nd hand ones there are around if budget is an issue. With these machines the sky is the limit including your more basic stuff.

I have just installed a roland machine into a sticker company today in cheltenham. while i was there we ran off 250 stickers about business card size for menu’s

Hope this helps
