Now it’s time to cut the elements that make up the face of the sign.
The first element is the 3D bone which will have the Fetch name contour pocketed about an 1/8″ into the surface. Our rendering shows the layout and depth of the lettering.
The bone is also carved out of 2″ HDU.
We’ll then inset painted aluminum letters into that pocket for a real nice effect. This will allow us to easily have a different paint finishes on the bone and the letters.
We are cutting the “tag” face out of .063 aluminum. The text will then be cut out of the aluminum – when glued in place we’ll see the background color of the sign panel come through.
And here it is! almost done – next is onto the welding of the frame and mounting system.
