Thanks for all of the suggestions. Pat... I like where you're going with this... thanks!

I realize these ideas aren't exactly rustic. I was planning to achieve that with some tweaking to the ideas. I also realize starting with pencil/paper is the way to go, but seeing as this is going to be based more around the style font, it kind of speeds up the process to be able to just change...

Local restaurant/ bar is planning on renovating and changing their overall look/ feel.... including their logo. It is a vary small place, that almost has a dive bar feel... but it is very contemporary. They are looking to change more towards the a rustic feel inside. The one thing they put an...

LEDs

Thanks everyone! I posted the side view so you guys could see the depth from the side, that's all. I don't have any pics of the lighting set up, but to give you an idea.... LEDs mounted between flame layers, mounted in the dowel rod in the tiki guy's mouth, and also mounted inside the fake...

Another sign made from hand carved foam. This one took much more thinking/ planning. I'm very happy with how it turned out, but of course there are a few imperfections that still bug me. I'm thinking about going back in the tiki head with some 'dirty water' paint to make it look a little...

If only there were 10 of him... Charlie saw my 'Shoe Repair' sign, and sent me a private message offering to speak with me. He gave me his personal number and told me to call whenever. Called him today, and spent a little while on the phone talking about foam, and some other things. I can't...

I would have liked to spend more time on the paint, but the main purpose of this was just to experience the entire process of working with the foam. Definitely good ideas, which I will keep in mind for the next one! You can glue the boards together too if you need something thicker to work...

Harbor Frieght... if you have one near you.

I used regular insulation foam board from Lowes. Could probably pick some up at almost any hardware store!

Well... here is is all painted and assembled. The letters still need to be touched up a bit. I'm not completely happy with the texture of the coating. Used a poly foam coat from Demand Products. It's a brush application... I'm thinking the styro spray will give me a smoother finish. EDIT: not...

Thanks!

Foam fusion from hot wire foam factory.

that 'wood' is actually foam made to look like wood.... so i'll consider it a success! haha

searched around to see how others constructed theirs. Basically just a guitar string, mounted with an aluminum arm, some plywood, and a power supply. the only thing I had to purchase was the arm, everything else was already laying around the garage.

Just like everyone else here... I was very inspired by Charlie's (RogueRoller) work. Charlie's work is so good that it has even gotten my father so excited that he is up and moving around again. He was so fired up to get working on something, so we made an inexpensive hot wire table, and ordered...

and that would be? I don't do screen printing, I sub it out, so I really have no idea what, 'the right ink' would be.

Customer is looking for custom mudflaps for their work truck. Will screen printing hold up on a mudflap, or is there a better way? thanks

toned down the triangles.
