Hey, if they don't want to take food stamps that's their decision.

I agree, it's pretty ugly. Wonder if originally it was just a monument with the plaza name in cut out letters

At that size we make them with ACM on a 2x4 frame and use strap hinges

For the home brew we add an ounce of denatured alcohol.

Treat it first as though it were not going to be gilded, but have a paint finish. Clean it thoroughly, if there are any hints of rust hit them with POR15 even if they clean up, as a matter of fact I would use POR15 as a primer on the whole thing. Then top coat with a good enamel, personally I...

If they match the building what Gino said. If changing the color is an option what Gino said and then a masonry stain. Might really make the sign look new and sharp to change the color, maybe a few different tones, one on the pillars, one on the caps and then the base.

That looks like theirs....https://fossilgraphics.com/ I've bought some and installed quite a few for museums/nature centers that bought them direct. They ain't cheap. We also did an economy version of our own using reverse applied graphics on matte lexan installed over exterior plywood with an...

Thanks, yea I saw those but I'm hoping to find something like this attached poster holder. I've already suggested this one to the client and told them I could paint the standoffs if they wanted. With the regular stand offs they have to take the whole thing apart to switch out a poster. By the...

Looking for 2'x3' Acrylic Poster Holders with Bronze Colored Stand offs, preferably 6 per unit. All I find are aluminum stand offs. I know I can get black stand offs and make them with two layers of acrylic, but I'd like to find pre-made ones that are designed for easy change out by the client.

If you want wood and will be leaving it unfinished or cleared then you could fake the thickness. Build a sub frame and skin with the widest cedar boards you can get, I'd use 5/4" thick if I could get it. You'll have seams, but that was common when making wood signs. The only issue would be the...

If it can really be saved by trimming, I would put a clear vinyl over it and trim with an 1/8" overlap. But redoing may be the best solution

I wonder if Mr Dynamic is still kicking *** on the competition?

Old thread, but I have a friend in the industrial sewing business and the number of used machines on the market is large.

No problem layering the vinyl, but what color is the background? Black reflective lights up white, so if the background is white it won;t be legible. For black lettering on white reflective I use my regular cast black vinyl.

Eric is the man! Bailed me out many a time and always for a reasonable cost.

Better to find a wholesaler and mark them up till you see if there is enough demand.

Hanson in New York State does a good job. I've only used them for sandblasted but they also do carved.

He used aluminum, but said steel would last longer. It's for wood boxes that hold saluting cannons, so he wanted a vintage way to put the logo on the box.

I have a friend who has a small machine shop set up, he did this by routing a piece of metal and attaching a handle to it. He didn't cut all the way thru, just deep enough so it burned the wood without touching the back of the plate.

since this is 4 years old and they haven't posted since we will probably never know what they ended up doing....
