The Tom’s Candle Pins sign is a standout with its 23K gold lettering. It was fun to design the bracket to be fully integrated as an important part of the sign. The strong welded steel structure is cleverly hidden internally. The sign uses CNC plasma cut steel, CNC routed 25 lb Precision Board and hand-sculpted epoxy. It is hand-painted using acrylic paints and glazes. This sign will hang on the entry building facade at NEB’s Fun World in Oshawa, Ontario.
Jeff's sign is finished as well.
While I was at it I took a good picture of Jeff’s Gadgetorium sign and cleaned up the background as well. This sign is a little simpler than Maria’s sign but is still a standout. It is going to look great mounted to the entrance wall of NEB’s Fun World in Oshawa, Ontario.
Proper photos
It is a challenge to take great pictures of features and signs in our shop. The lighting is far from ideal and the backgrounds are busy and often somewhat on the messy side. Even so, the signs deserve to be documented properly. The answer is to rig up some temporary lighting and take a range of pictures. I can then spend a little time on my computer to digitally remove the clutter from the backgrounds. The resulting images are well worth the effort. Here’s the Maria’s Administrivia & Beancounting sign.
