I picked up another sign project a couple weeks ago. The guy who does all my cutting wanted to kill me because it was so intricate. And this is the dumb down version. Their actual logo has a lot more detail in it. But this was the one they said we could use to make it a lot easier and it's still going to be a pain in my butt. It'll be just like the other couple I have built it will have a 1 by 2 frame around it a rusted back panel and the front side will be D A sanded and clear-coated. Then it will be lit with LEDs from the inside out. I am using the snow we have laying around as a rusting agent . For some reason snow seems to rust things faster LOL . Maybe it's just me . I'll keep you guys posted on progress

I still have to put the back pan on the sign tomorrow after I get it rusted up. That's why there's a bunch of light bleeding through the back. I also have to peel the backside protective layer off the lexan so it's going to get a little brighter and clearer. But I could not help myself I had to test it out
