.375" = 9.525mm (Alumalite comes in 6mm & 10mm).
I don't know how you would get a stud attached to it...? The aluminum is too thin to weld to or to hold the stud. You could VHB-tape and silicone it though.
Does the customer really want to see the corrugation?
I don't get the water/waves. To me it looks like an advertisement for a waterpark. Eliminating that and replacing it with your services seems like it would be a better use of space.
I think it looks pretty good.
Two immediate thoughts:
- Just looking at the thumbnail, the eyes look a tad 'sleepy' - needs more 'bad' :)
- I think it needs a partial highlight around the bottom of the hat, similar to the highlight around the horns
Thanks everyone.
So when you guys are using MDO or plywood, are you mechanically fastening it to the wall? Seems like it would be a handful if done by yourself (which I would be).
I like the top one. Great work as usual.
I wonder if it would look more balanced with the paintbrush on the right and the pencil in the center. Might be my OCD side talking.
Looks great though!
I would almost think that if you don't want to reface the existing sign, the most efficient way of replacing the sign (rather than trying to use the existing framework) is to get the dimensions of the existing mounting plate and the center-to-centers of the mounting hardware. Then just...
Thank you. A jig that would work would be much too involved. It would have to hold the bit exactly in place and not allow any movement side-to-side whatsoever. A piece of thin metal would still allow the bit to wander. A "horizontal drill press" that could be made stationary would be great, but...
Not sure how many of you have installed stud-mounted letters in aggregate or jagged rock, but it's kind of a huge pain. The aggregate busts off almost as soon as you hit it with the rotary hammer. So there's a whole series of steps you have to go through to accurately drill your holes for the...
It looks like the eyes are trying to come "out" and extend above the bottom of the skull cap (that's what I've always called them - might be a NY thing). I'm wondering if it would look better if the tops of the eyes went under the beanie and you just added bulge lines to the beanie where the...
That looks great...the site looks great as well. Nice job to all involved!
Man, your slideshow is fast lol...might want to slow it down another second or two.
I agree 100%. A sign that thin is putting only shear force on the tape. One square inch of VHB tape can withstand a ridiculous amount of shear weight. If you attach VHB to the perimeter, it's staying put.
OP: I only mentioned using silicone because you mentioned being apprehensive with just...
