A little sign work.

admin

A local nursery needed a new sign so here's the design they came up with. I cut it from a sheet of 11 gauge hot rolled with my new Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52.I've really been wanting a Hypertherm but the LWS offered me a deal that I couldn't refuse.The Sign is ~12'-6" wide by ~3'-4" tall and has (2) 3/4" 16g sq. tube braces welded on the back. We fastened it with 3/8" countersunk wood lags through the siding into the OSB sheathing. For paint it's 1st acid etched with Coronado Sure-Prep III, then primed with Sherwin Williams oil based rust preventative primer, then painted with Sherwin Williams oil based low sheen black. The sun was painted with Liquitex acrylic enamel yellows, oranges and reds, then clear coated with low sheen acrylic enamel. Unless you're local you wouldn't know that the name of the nursery is a word play on the owners' name and the name of a local mountain called Max Patch.Brian LeonardAppalachian Ironworks L.L.C.434 Long Branch Rd, Marshall, NC 28753828 649 9966828 702 [email protected]
Reply:Nice job on the sign. No problem with the 52.....a deal is a deal! At least it is one of the last ones built by US citizens!Here are some 1/4" stainless signs that I did a year or so ago....they are in front of 5 of Hypertherms plants in NH.  These were cut in my home shop on a Plasmacam cnc with a Powermax45.Jim Attached Images
