Wow, interesting. Looking for the discussion to follow……
Somebody post a but back about this……but I can’t find it.
There is a service you can bring it to and get it professionally restored for pretty cheap. The business caters to another field but it...
I love it, thread reruns!
Good luck Steven, get better, we will miss your rust and project posts.
I have been using The ROS on the same grit as the drum sander, and still find it sloooow…I’m going to try Mel’s way and drop back a grit, thanks!
Hey Erik Thanks.
I will try them, only about a 1/2 hour away.
Thanks Jim, it’s an every changing design…..but my parents have switched it a couple of times. We will take it indoors for the winter. If I have to make it again in 4-5 years so be it.
I didn’t know you could get exterior smaller sizes. Good to know.
Now what would you do for the wood portions of the sign? Maybe spray the whole board before routing?
Thanks Jim.
I just thought a top coat over everything. There will be numerous colors and I don’t want to have to buy quarts of exterior paint for each. Plus some of the sign will be natural wood.
Man Jack, my thoughts will be with you.
That’s not a bad idea Kev. Maybe I will find 1/16” white that can be cut with a router and just spray both side orange? I never thought of that. If spray can orange sticks to the sheet I’m good to...
I thought of that but not sure it is worth the hassle for me. I don’t really like the feel of the pvc stuff at Hd.
My neighbor found the receipt for the sign she had made, it is made of HDU. It...
That’s possible Ross. These tags were just made, but who knows what the engraver had in stock that made them.
If nobody makes it anymore, it has to be old stock they had on hand. The order was...
Thanks Ross, I think that is what I will do. I was hoping to get 1” material, but 3/4” is all you can get at HD that I see.
Thanks for trying Kev.
Also thanks Tony, maybe I can figure it out with that info.
No. They are only engraved on one side. But I need them to be a decent match. They are free hanging.
Thanks. There is a Grimco about 45 minutes from me. They might just be wholesale but I will call. The other places Joe mentioned to buy the HDU might just be wholesale also?
I love it. Respect for admitting to the pocket screws haha
Thanks for the responses.
Keith, is the PVC the same stuff Jim mentioned you can get at the home centers? Like the white trim board stuff they sell?
Also is HdU, just HDU? I thought I read...
I don’t know what material it is. I only know it’s 1/16” orange/white/orange.
I doubt it was custom made? It was for a small run of badges, maybe 750, 2”x2” or so.
However, whoever made them...
I’m looking for a 1/16” sheet of stock to match some nameplates. It needs to be orange on both faces with a white core. I would be engraving it with a rotary tool. I figured the laser engraving world...
I tried the search, no luck. I tried an internet search, too confusing….
I want to make an outdoor sign with a router, painted, 1” thick or so. The sign would be maybe 12” x 24” or so. My neighbor...
Not sure what part of the country you live in but……it would be a hard pass for me. There has to be easier, and cheaper ways to get material then that? Unless they were being repurposed, or you...
Is your fence square to the blade?
Is the leading edge narrower or wider?
Weird. I cancelled mine yesterday afternoon after many many years of satellite radio. Same experience, deep discounts to stay etc etc. I was selling my last car that a capable radio. They still...
