YOUR SHOP NEEDS A SIGN, FOR CREDIBILITY

Question:

     To denote your professional, semi-professional, or even just hobby status, your shop needs a sign.  Here are a few examples to get  you started, if you don’t already have one.      This list even gave me the inspiration to maybe finally get the sign up on the doors of my shop.  It will say "F— Off" in pseudo-Chinese.

Paul, I like your sign, however, can I offer two pieces of advice.  You might want to turn off the html in your message.  A lot of people get hacked off when people post using html.  Personally, I don’t care.  The bigger issue is youir sig.  You may want to rethink the wisdom of posting a message with the quote you are using.
