An American Eagle’s Perch

KDF, a full-service sign shop out of Rockleigh, New Jersey made an awesome eagle for the Norwood Fire Company out of Precision Board Plus HDU not too long ago.

Designed to replace an antique wood eagle that sadly had started to fall apart after miraculously surviving a massive fire, the new eagle is made out of Precision Board Plus. Featuring an impressive array of red, white and blue LED’s, the new eagle is the epitome of elegance at night. Steve Hoey, owner of KDF was kind enough to send over additional pictures and a video not seen in the excellent Sign & Digital Graphics article from a few months ago.

Enjoy the video and pictures and be sure to check out the original magazine article for a full back story on the sign and the story of the antique wood eagle it replaced due to a fire.

The Mechanical Fish Needs A Place to Live!

We may have dug ourselves a hole all the way to the bottom of the ocean! That’s right. We have one month to go with our little “mechanical fish” project and we are still coming up with great ideas on the fly that are adding a lot of time to the project. But we love doing this stuff so I’m ok with it. I’ve been feverishly designing and making the cosmetic details of the exterior sign.  Brian has been working the armature, welding, designing and building the fish tank. Next week these elements will start going together and we’ll really get to see just how deep we are. Brian has a basic frame welded at the base then added a 4.5″ steel pipe – this pipe will hold the weight of the upper fish tank no problem
