Agree. Don't put yellow paint in your size.

Here is the only close up I could find of my gilding. I use Duna's Corafoam 15 pound HDU. I was using some other stuff but found it too coarse to get a good looking surface. These letters were hand carved so they were very smooth to start with. I sanded them lightly with 320 grit then primed...

Was it you that had the Bob Ross avatar?

Good luck on whatever you pursue next. I'm sure you'll be just as killer at it as you are with signs. Adrian

Thanks Philip!

My signs always blew over when I only dug down 6 inches.

That's just mean. *******! (questioning your parents martial status)

Wait for it...

Frost here goes about 3 feet. What is in Dallas? (pretty deep from what I saw on the news)

Here's another recent one. This one is about 6 feet wide. The body is built up wood and Alupanel with HDU oval panels glued on. The post are a bit unusual in that they are not square. I needed the post to fit between the ovals but a 4" post looked too thin for the sign. So I just made them 6"...

Obvious is not a word that applies to any procedure in Illustrator... possibly the single most un-intuitive piece of software ever produced. :popcorn:

Thanks for the positive reviews guys. What's this "kerning" you speak of... (The sign is meant to be viewed from the far left.) :rolleyes: The "Willowdale" font is ghostbusters BTW. (you have to change out the "O's".)

I couldn't even draw the blue circle in Illustrator.

I'm freezing my nay-nays off up here Bob. Got lots of stuff to do... all good. I should be looking into working down in Florida over the winters... :Big Laugh I have a job that needs posts and concrete and it's paved to boot... too bad it's minus 8 and the ground is starting to freeze. Not sure...

N'other one done. The thing is 8 x 5 feet, single sided. The main structure is 2 x 4 pressure treated lumba with Alupanel skins. The lettered bit is 1" HDU glued on to the main panel. It's a pretty shade of orangy coral red but it took 9 coats to cover. One of those things that I kept thinking...

Noice!

Great looking stuff Bob!

Nothing surprises me any more. Two teens set fire to a homeless man here last week. Poured gas on him while he was sleeping in the bus shelter. Small town of 2500 people.

Thanks Pat! We had a great summer in NS. How was Winterpeg? lol

Where do you think the vendors in North America get their gold to sell to you? The $350 you saved is their margin.
