We do quite a variety of projects in our shop but once in a while we stretch and do something we haven’t ever done previously. For Syl’s Mini Golf we needed to make a 1960’s period sign. After some thought we opted to fabricate it from heavy duty ten gage welded steel plate. The components will be powder coated by our friends at Mayfair Powder Coating. This week Matt and I designed, cut and welded up the many sign components. It’s a sizeable assembly to say the least. The letters have built in stainless standoffs to mount them about one and a half inches off of the face of the sign. There was a whole lot of fitting, welding and grinding to make it all ready for powder coat colours. Matt did the bulk of the physical work on this project. It also has a heavy duty base which was permanently fastened onto the sign. Matt also welded up a sturdy shipping stand which will ensure it gets delivered to the customer without a scratch. We look forward to seeing the sign in full colour later this next week!
