Hello to all from a beginner
Greetings all,
Looking at starting my own business initially producing basic signs and promo stickers from vinyl.
Have been reading the boards for a little while now and really like the vibe and atmosphere, so friendly.Planning on starting with a 600mm cutter and then who knows.(Already got Coral draw 12). Just to pick a make now, the boards seem an invaluable source in for this.
In the first instance this will hopefully supplement my main job but it would be nice to think I could make a reasonable living out of it eventually.
ANY advice would be gratefully received(and probably needed 😀 )
Anyway thats me.
Regards
Lee

Hi Andy and John,
Currently I’m an HGV driver(since being made redundant from management two years ago, wow doesn’t time fly), and since I work nights most of my post’s will be in the middle of the night. 😮

Hi Lee, and welcome.
I am usually posting in the middle of the night too, so we may be on together from time to time.
I am about half a day ahead of you lot in the UK, so your midnight is my day.
Cheers, and ask away.

Hi and welcome Lee 😀
Good luck with your new venture, you’ll probably find everything you need on here as far as advice, help and the like 😀 We’re a helpful bunch most of the time, and only Carrie actually bites 😉 Mind you, you’ve uploaded an avatar, you could be safe for a while 😀

Thanks for all the welcomes 😀
May have inadvertantly got my first commercial job (not bad as have no gear yet) doing the windows on the place I just brought some bathroom panels from.
They said to pop in to discuss when I’m in a position to possibly do it.Ok so a word I’ll be using soon is HELP 😀 as not a clue quite where I would start as even they don’t really know what they want!!!!!

Lee, when it comes to window signs, Dewi is the master 😮 😛
Seriously tho, ask away. Collectively there is nothing we, as a group, don’t know 🙄
Cheers, and well done.

Hi Lee
I too was made redundant from a management position that I held in the brewing industry 8.5 years ago. I decided then to set up my own business as a signmaker. Nearly 9 years later I am very happy doing the work I do, and now I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else.
Good luck with your new career – sign making is very creative and satisfying. I can guarantee you will make a good living at it if you go about things the right way. 😀

Hi Lee,
I’m in the states so I am about 8 hours behind you. Between dsi and I we will either answer your question tomorrow or yesterday depending on who gets it first. 😀
