Hey Mike great job! I was a question about the bulbs , do you buy those at a local Home Depot? And do they sell them wired up together or individually?
Thank you so much! I bought mine from Amazon (Globe string lights - amzn.to/2WCPmAT). They are wired up but I did have to splice a few extra bulbs on for one or two of the letters. No big deal though, just a couple of wire nuts is all that I needed! 👍👍 Happy building!
I'd put rings on the back of the plywood like you see on large picture frames and hang it from that. Might have to build out a few layers of plywood on the back to make that work...
Thanks Sorry I have another question how wide should I do letters if I’m making them 3ft talk- the words are “Marry Me” I’m sketching the “M” but a 3ft by 3ft seems odd to me
I have access to a plotter which is what I did for this one. In the past I've printed a little on several pieces of 8-1/2 x 11 and then taped them all together.
Great job Mike! I never knew that tip on how to age metal. Well done man!
Thank you sir! 👍🏻

Nice video. Do you have a template for numbers? I need numbers 24 and 50
I don't unfortunately.
Where did you get that metal
I got this roof flashing but idk if it’s thick enough to keep it Standing
It's linked in the description 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, do u know what font that is called? i’m doing this with my plotter and want to do a different word
I wish I did but I don't remember.
What kind of bowl cleaner? I used “The Works” and it did absolutely nothing to the appearance.
I believe it was one of the Clorox gel toilet bowl cleaners. Good luck!
How would you recommend mounting these on a wall?

Whats the Gage of the metal flashing you used ?
I don't recall, but I think I linked the flashing I bought in the description 👍🏻. Hope that helps!
Can I spray paint the flashing?
Yeah you should be just fine to do that. I'd just prime it first 👍🏻
Thanks

No worries. I just typed it on the computer and had it plotted out. Otherwise I'd just eyeball it 👍🏻
So i took this to fedex to print and was told it would be over $250 before taxes to print this out. What did you print yours out for?
