"I'd feel awkward posting many pics of my works here, I think some would be offended."

Doug, I thought you were doing the same work as many of us. You would not offend me by posting some pics of your latest projects, and a brief decricription.... or failures.

Just paint us a picture

Doug, I can think of 4 guys off the top of my head that don't own Shopbots, and I would be VERY disappointed if they ever left the forum as they contribute so much. Keep posting and include pics!

Last week I found a new update website www.appalachiansigns.com for two women who are setting all new records. Sarah Evans and Laura Shoemaker have been featured in several publications. I believe they started out with PRT that keeps on going.

When I spoke to them they were pleased to be recognized and open with their idea's. Thumbs up for these guys.

I remember the Jay Cooke Sign Shop in Stowe, VT, very well. In the early 90's they were offering three day sign carving classes and I drove over from Maine to take the class. I ended up carving a few signs for myself, but my remodeling business and my general lack of creativity kept me from pursuing it. When I got my shopbot in 2007 I looked for his sign shop on the internet and found that he was offering classes in using cnc machinery to create carved signs. Now I think he's disappeared altogether. The thing I take away from my sign carving class is that now I can carve on the cnc machine with more confidence knowing that if a letter gets screwed up, I can always fix it by hand.

Jim,

Thanks for the reminder about Jay Cooke. The period of time when he conducted the workshop didn't last long. Many of his signs were outstanding and his promotional work was excellent. He was the breaking edge of new things to come in dimensional signs.

For the life of me I can't figure out why he disappeared. Even today he has no website or description of his work. How can such a talented fellow like he is completely drop out?
