i have many posters that are 18X20 and i can't find anything. definitely want the aluminum/metal style portfolio and no i can't make one due to lack of tools and space to work.
the Pina Zangaro look really nice but are limited in size.
thanks in advance.

thought of that too but they don't do single runs. i'd have to get a hundred of them made. D'oh!

well, just a thought, but it is possible that you could find a local sign company, tell them what you want and have them construct it for you out of .125 aluminum (.050 alum is thin and dings easily)
they can put any number of hinges in it and polish it up.
we dont do stuff like that where i work, but we could.
ob the other hand, it would be pretty damned expensive, but you would have a one of a kind folio, customized and sturdy.if you are interested in going thru a local sign shop, then tell em straight up what you want and ask to speak to a shop person.
again, IF you wanna do that. then i'd be happy to offer advice on availble materials etc. i know a bit about such things.=)

Pearl...they have 12x18 I own one.
- Bio0
no no no! it's not what you think schjetne! i wasnt offering outta the goodness of my cold black heart.
you know the deal... if Bio helps you, then when the time comes, you must offer up your fist born child as a sacrifice to my unholy something or another.
i will then consume that child, and i will grind his bones to make my bread. or something.
oooooook. need more sleep.

pearl huh, did a google search and couldn't find anything, only the clear sleeves. do you have a link or something from where you got yours TNDAP?
thanks for the advice Bio, although you just really scared the shit out of me.

Bio, if I ever get to enter USA (there's probably some kind of time limit on that criminal record) I would appreciate it if I could pop by for dinner :)
Meat! Yummy!

Sweet! I'll check soon how long I will have to wait before I can come over. I really want to visit New Orleans, and plan to go there as soon as I can. And from New Orleans the trip isn't too far to you, is it?
- Bio0
about 3.5 hrs, but i frequently travel that way and wouldnt mind making the trip at all!
- schjetne0
Ok, I'll try to stay out of trouble with the law for a while, and hopefully I will get to travel there soon.

- auricom0
