• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I am seriously considering investing in some printing/cutting stuff to make them....whats it take besides a mac and design software
 
I'm not sure about a Mac setup, as far as pc's go, many of the cutter manufacturers have bridge software that allows you to use Corel Draw or Adobe illustrator for design, I've looked into it a few times myself but always seem to find something else to spend my "toy" money on... that being said I think its a great idea as Huskys are always left out when it comes to graphics / backgrounds. Also I have the ability to make templates in AutoCad than could be imported into either of the above and I'd be more than willing to donate templates for anybikes I have access to to anyone who wants to start cutting some

At least $20K to start at the very low end. You also have to be a guru of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

If your thinking of doing just cut vinyl, think again...there are no calendared or cast vinyl that with stick well to polyethelene.

If your doing solvent based printing or sub-surface, that opens the door to your imagination. Be advise that a single roll of media and lamination can run $1000 for both.
