Building signs, awards, & trophies. My favorite tool is using a Universal laser paired with CorelDraw to laser metal plates for plaques, acrylic & wood awards, plastic phenolics/placards for electricians. I'm more on the trophy end of the store, but also occasionally operate our large Roland digital printer, an old Edge machine, DOS-like dinosaur rotary engraver, & a Graphtec plotter. I spend time also designing and vectorizing companies logo's, kerning, sawing trophy columns, drilling plaques, weeding & applying vinyl, using a guillotine to cut sheet metal. I love to work with my hands along with designing on the computer. It is retail so I'm also taking orders & phone-calls, sending out proofs, pricing, organizing work orders.
