Next up on the plate (or should I say "on Tap")is a replacement for the Top section of this Local Brew pub's Sign.

This One has seen better days, A perfect example of why use HDU ( High Density Urethane Foam) in an xterior application, This sign is made of solid wood and plywood and is Quickly deteriorating.

Picture
This is a concept drawing of the replacement.
The Bulk of this sign is all HDU Foam with the exception of the interior structural frame.
The back ground is to be cut to ressemble wavy corragated metal with the smaller text protruding from it (cut from the same piece), The "Moat" lettering is to be 1-1/2" thick and will be stood off of that corragated back ground to give it some shadow.
The "mountain" text is raised from the Moat Text but also cut out of the same piece of foam,(nothing gets glued on so nothing can fall off).

Picture
Here you can see the structural frame work of the sign. I've cut away some slots to reduce the weight of the structure, and this also allows me a chase to run the wires for the Tap Handle Lights.
Although this interior frame work is plywood (exterior grade) If I do my Job correctly it should never see any water.

Below are a couple of shots of the Cutting process.

    This is an on going story of my explorations into the artistic world,chronicling the process of this journey.    Highlighting my successes as well as my failures. I'll try not to focus on the failures, but they are what has taught me the most.
      I Owe the ability to take this journey to; My Mom
    (for she bred in me a drive and creativity required for this type of trip) My Incredible Wife and Children for their support, and to the world of creative people that inspire me everyday.
     One in particular is Dan Sawatzky (click here to meet Dan) This Guy has Changed the way I look at things. He is truly an artist and a Visionary with passion.
