Re: Light Box chipping table

Hi Jeff,

What is the distance from the tubes to the Lexan and is the box pretty much sealed, or is there a vent to let heat out?

Re: "True Grit" signs

Greetings all - Today I had the opportunity to see the new version of True Grit. I thought it was a great remake of the John Wayne classic.

That's one very impressive site and the eye candy is wonderful. I, for one, certainly don't mind getting 'lost' on your site. What, if any, computer software did you use to develop all the artwork?
