Bronze dedication plaque. RightNOW!

[MikePro]

Got a few feelers out there but figure I'd poll the s101 crowd.
Decision weighing heavily on my mind to decide in the a.m.:

2' x 18" Bronze dedication plaque with 1/4" lettering hoping to go up in a week. Realistic timeline to outsource & make it to my doorstep by then? Or should I be tracking down a sheet to do myself, with a router already working beyond overtime? (and 12hr days on my end, as well)

We outsourse those. The company has a two week lead time after the client accepts the proof. No exceptions.

They will knock a replica out of foam and get it to us in a couple of days with a rush charge if the client absolutely has to have something for an event. They look just like real deal, only alot lighter.

From past experience, typical lead time is usually six weeks, and "rush" is two weeks with a 50% (or more) additional fee.

O heck yeah. Never thought to do a foam version to bridge the void. Thanks!
If anything, router time still being an issue, I might just mask/paint an aluminum panel with metallics/texture. Would be nice to keep this in-house as originally planned.

oh but of course! Who knew this dedication was coming up? We have done some for the state parks and the state. talk about a group of unorganized bafoons! We have routed pvc to "hold" them over because its our fault we cant get Gemini to get us one in a week

When its not your money the state will just waste money and could care less
