Last load to NEB’s
It has been well over a year since we did the first concept art for NEB’s Fun World. The massive bowling alley was the first project to be green lighted for construction. We designed hundreds of files using EnRoute. Our MultiCam Plasma cutter got quite a workout as we cut scores of sheets of plate steel into pieces for the bases and tops of the posts as well as countless bolting plates, lifting lugs and braces

Signs should be creative and fun!
As I look at the signs for developments it makes me wonder why there aren’t more creative and fun ideas used. The sign industry is chock full of people who insist they are creative and yet most of the signs are far from it. We take a far different tack as we design developments.

Almost seven years ago we designed and fabricated the signs for an exclusive subdivision. The theme was of Japanese origin. At the entrance we built two large rocks with the subdivision name – OYAMA ESTATES. Each of the lots also received their own smaller sign which had some positive attribute Japanese symbol and a house number attached
Designing a bracket
After I mounted the dynamo to the marvellous machine it had a little shake which gave me some pause. Because the piece is to travel many thousands of miles in the back of a transport truck I became worried about a failure. The solution was to create another bracket which attached to the top portion. As I looked at the space it became apparent that if I added a bracket here it would interfere with the next gear I was going to add
