MemberOctober 19, 2006 at 6:46 pm in reply to: can anyone design sign to resemble a hairdressers?Can’t do layout at home but would be tempted to use a pair of scissors for the "y" in taylored and drop the cap "S" in CUTS lower than the rest of the wotrd and put a barbers pole up through it i.e. under the bottom part, over the middle and top part. That is if it is a unisex salon. Just an idea, going back to my drink now (drink1)

Hi Paul and welcome to the madhouse 😀
If you are stuck for anything specific i.e. drinking glasses, tibal art etc. you can just ask in the forum, as long as you are a paid up member. We can then all try and help.

Get in touch with your local licencing authority at the council and they will point you in the right direction. Explain to them that he is asking for magnetics as our council will not allow this as anyone could remove them and put them on their own car. Think safety! How many times have you heard of some woman getting in a taxi and being attacked later on!

My engraving machine can be set up to drill 1mm holes and we then drop the beads in and tap them with a lickle hammer. This locks them in and stops them coming adrift.

Cooksons in Stockport do one with rubber underneath to prevent slipping and a handle in the centre to stop you trimming your nails 🙂 Unfortunately their website is down at he moment but they can be contacted on 0161 480 2388.
JTF Warehouses also do one the same but with no rubber underneath but they only cost £2.95 + V.A.T. Don’t know if you have one in your area (?)

I always use hilti hits for this type of job (single handed).
Drill 1 hole to suit in the frame, then one in the correct position in the wall and fit the hilti into it and hammer home. this will hold it in place whilst you can then drill and fix at your leisure.
