Here's mine. If all goes well it'll be up in a couple of days. I've got the sign ready to go from a local vinyl letter/ sign guy. Paint's drying, permits are secured, utility locators have been called, all it needs is stuck in the ground.Brian LeonardAppalachian Ironworks L.L.C.434 Long Branch Rd, Marshall, NC 28753828 649 9966828 702 [email protected]
Reply:Fantastic scroll work, I like the design you used to join them together, looks great. Did you use a scroll bender or a different method?Gordhttp://gordsgarage.wordpress.com/

Reply:Nice sign post.I stuffed this sign in the ground today. It is made from .250 plate and 4x4x.375" box tube.BTW that is the USS Lexington in the back ground, 2nd most Decorated ship of WWII in the Pacific. I cut my teeth welding on her.
Reply:I'll bet you could do one helluva chandelier. Here in the Scottsdale, Arizona area folks pay top dollar for chandeliers with scroll work like that. Doors go for bucks too. There was a house in Pinnacle Peak that had a cathedral style double door fabbed by a friends father and the invoice was just over 20 k. That was 15 years ago. With talents like yours you could make a mint doing custom work in the southwest, if we ever recover from the slump we are in.

Reply:Nice sign. Here's another. Seems like you were asking for more? 15,000 volts worth...
