Once all the Compnents were attached and the final coats of paint were done I rolled the sign out side for it to cure in the sun for awhile.
At This stage the only thing left to do was to clear coat the entire piece after the paints have had a chance to cure.

Then it was moving day.
I fabricated a craddle that would suspend the sign and allow it to be transported in it's upright position.
Hopefully this craddle will work for other signs of this nature and not be a single use piece.
I let the customer barrow one of my trailers so they would be able to pick up the sign.

The report I received last nigt was that the sign made it to it's destination safely and that everyone tha was able to peek at it gave good reviews.
It should be hung in it's final resting place high above the entrance to Elf University at Santa's Village In Jefferson New Hampshire for opening weekend.

I Can't wait till Santa sends me some photo of this sign hanging,
Happy learning Elf Class of 2012
