Today was a busy day as I textured up the letters and sun and welded everything securely in place.

While the MultiCam was whittling the sun I was welding the finished letters onto the sign base.  The sign started to look pretty massive in the shop

The giant sun for the Sunshine Homes sign was the next order of business. I created the vectors in EnRoute. The rectangle on the bottom will be used to cut off the round sun

I had great plans to glue up a set of letters first thing in the morning using every available clamp I had. Then this afternoon I could remove the clamps and get a second set glued up

The Sunshine Homes lettering was relatively simple. I would route them in two layers with a half round groove routed in the middle so a steel rod frame could be laminated into the center of each letter with rods  protruding from the bottom to weld into he sign base. As usual we started with the vectors

The Sunshine Homes sign is coming along nicely. Today I sourced a 12″ x 12″ x 4″ waterproof electrical box to house the transformer for the low voltage LED wiring.

With the house now at lockup stage at long last it is time to get busy in the shop once more. We have plenty of cool projects waiting for us. One of our projects is for a home prefabricator in Alberta
