The Lolo’s Fudgery sign is now fully sculpted and moved on to the paint department. The first coat of colour used leftover paint off our shelf as our client finalized the end colour choice. That decision was made as the week closed and we picked up the new colours in preparation for the final painting process which will begin this week. Stay tuned for more…
Building a waterwheel
We always have a wide variety of projects underway in the shop. Our goal is to keep our entire crew busy and productive which is a definite challenge. Generally, I like to plan a couple of weeks out to ensure projects flow through in all stages of construction to maximize the specialized abilities of each member of the team. Last week as the shop was plugged with large pieces in the sculpting and painting phase we had Keith busy in the back shop fabricating welded steel assemblies which will be used as soon as the finished pieces are moved from the shop. That event happened on Thursday. The minute the big workspace was swept out we moved the prefabricated assemblies into the workspace and began setting up the jig to build the large waterwheel. It is going to be very large! Stay tuned for more this coming week…
Coastal Enterprises display ready to ship
The trade show table/display we designed and built for our friends at Coastal Enterprises is now complete and ready to ship. The sign on the front and the two QR codes are easily removable. They fit into welded steel clips. The welded tree will lay on the top for transport. The ‘wood’ insert panels and the signs are CNC routed from sixty-pound density Precision Board and should be plenty durable! The table rolls easily on some heavy-duty, lockable castors. The display will make its debut at the International Sign Association Expo in Orlando, Florida in mid-April.
