What a sharp looking piece. Looks to good to be out in the middle of no where if you ask me.

What material did you use for the substrate? Did you paint it or print it? Is it clear coated? How many niblets of corn on both ears? You did count each one right?

Hey Jeff,

That sign looks great. I remember when you posted the design for suggestions.

It really turned out well!!!

That looks even better than the outstanding sketch you showed us..

But....My question is..

Why did you put it up in a "Mudhole" to start with ??....were you testing some "Waterproof Shoes" ?????? he he he [Wink] [Wink] [Wink]

Ok, it's aluminum mounted to a treated 3/4" thick plywood panel. Framed in the back and mounted to those posts (posts installed by owner). All ONE-SHOT. Yes, it's cleared. I started counting the niblets but quickly ran out of fingers and toes.

The mudhole was not there when I put up the framework. Temps are 47 in Wisconsin today so all the "melt" followed me to this location. Shoes failed the waterproof test.

Sorry, yes the size is about 8' wide by 8' tall. Best part about the whole thing was walking away with orders for several more signs.

I think that was because I handed the guy a roll of my non-patented Official Anti-Terrorist Duct Tape.

Jeff buddy, that is an extremely nice sign.
I would think that would bring quite a few new jobs. Sure does make that mudhole look good. [Smile]
Quality work there Jeff. I bow in humble admiration.

Great work Jeff! Very impressive to know it's all paint too.

Wow, 8' x 8' & no windbreak for miles... surprised you don't need diagonal bracing. Looks pretty solid though.
