Bed and Breakfast Sign MakerA UNITED STATES COMPANY WITH ALL U.S. PRODUCTS FINDING A GOOD TRADITIONAL SIGN MAKERWhen I talk to a lot of my customers they tell me its hard to find good sign makers that can make hand carved and routed wooden Bed and Breakfast signs. The fact most of the time I'm pretty booked up with projects myself since downsizing the shop and staff due to the economy. This set me to thinking about our modern world and what actually constitutes a sign maker these days and why there is a shortage of people who can actually craft a decent high quality wood sign. FLAT CUT VINYL SIGNS VERSUS CARVED WOODIt would seem to me there's a lot of people out there with vinyl cutters and printers in their back rooms without much in the way of art talent or even the most basic of craftsmanship skills who call themselves sign makers. Sign making has so many dimensions it is so surprising to me that many sign makers limit themselves to flat signs that require nothing more than fonts and photographs(and clip art)to get by. Once a sign maker decides or gains the skills to go beyond the world of the flat plastic a whole new exciting world awaits both them and their customers. The sculpture of three dimensional signs can be as bright as the glow of a custom bent glass tube neon sign to the refinement of a custom carved 24 kt HDU sign for a Doctor or Lawyer. If You are looking for someone to make that special handcrafted sign for that special and venerable Bed and Breakfast you call home, you should not accept some peel and stick sign slapped together on some plywood to attract customers. The best way to judge a sign maker is to see what he's made in the past and to see what he's got for tools and machinery. WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER TO HAVE SIGNS LIKE DISNEY OR UNIVERSAL STUDIOS TO SHOW OFF YOUR BUSINESSI dont know about you but when I go to Disney World or Universal Studios I have to marvel at the sculptural quality of their signs and exhibits. They put a lot of money into giving you the ultimate experience and believe me Disney, Universal and the like has a very fine staff of dimensional artist to do their bidding and maintain their signage. WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN LOOKING FOR A SKILLED SIGN MAKERWhen you look into the shop of a decent sign maker you should be seeing wood shapers wood lathes, welding equipment metal working machinery and even neon tube equipment. It would shock most people to hear the request for the most basic of signs I get from fellow sign maker whose only skill it is to hit the print button on a wide format vinyl printer or cutter.At Signsalive.net our goal is not only to be able to make the best Bed and breakfast sign but also to make one that is an original work of art as unique as your establishment.
