  • This sign was in a style I've been wanting to try for a long time! My using 3M VHB Tape to adhere a face to a backer piece we were able to completely hide all fasteners on this sign installation. Let me know your thoughts below!

    Countersunk steel spacers are no more tricky than a bit of thick wall tube, cut to length, and a few minutes under the drill press with a countersink bit chucked up. You don't even need to own a lathe. I make them all the time. Don't need to make it super expensive for a non-visible element. Just for fun, I checked McMaster, (since they offer that exact custom service on their website) they came out to be $1635 for 100 of them. Haha!
    When I do inside signs, even though I have a lathe... I always just buy the nice ones from MBS-Standoffs. On occasion, I do have to drill through them to make them spacers instead of threaded stand-offs. And I sometimes countersink the backer letter, if it's like .125" aluminum. I just did a sign like that, but the faces were acrylic. It's a great technique. I've got pics up on my instagram.

    This looks great, could also do a nice shadow effect with having the prices with screws larger then the front pieces.
    Also those parts would not be hard to manufacture on a CNC lathe. Many small shops would take that easy job and I’m sure you can get the cost real low.

    Nice video. I’m a neon sign maker. We use a similar process for installing neon, but we use a paper layout (use a plotter to print it easily).
    You might find that it’s cheaper and easier to use than metal templates. Paper gets taped to the wall, checked for level, adjusted, then just drill through the paper in the marked spots for fastening.
    Let me know if you want me to elaborate.

    • @kodyps

      Also, you can most likely find studs like what you had machined already made via McMaster Carr

    • @JaakkoF
      @JaakkoF 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well cheaper is relative, as he gets the template from just cutting the sign letters from a metal plate in the size the sign is, so it only costs the amount of plate used and some of it comes back as scrap value.

    • @kodyps
      @kodyps 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@JaakkoF Yes that is true. In the sense of convenience, you can keep the paper layout taped up until the sign is completely installed, ripping it away after checking your alignment/spacing. This is how professional sign companies operate.

      I'd agree in a solid wall, but when anchoring to something thinner like 1/2" durock behind a tile facade, that grab is well worth it

  • @dennispope8160
    @dennispope8160 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just thinking, I think you’ve used threaded standoffs in past projects. I think you’d be able to easily weld one of the threaded standoffs on. Then use a countersink drill bit after it’s welded and you’d have basically what the machinist made for you. Even if you needed to drill out the threads I think it would still be worth it.

      It's great to have for pretty cheap. If someone gets hurt from something you did, they can take your business and assets but not your home, car, etc (generally speaking).
      That all said, it's a risk mitigation strategy, and we all define our tolerable risk level. Personally, I use one as it makes separating all my finances great and has the other benefits mentioned. I do not plan to build something that will hurt someone, but freak shit happens.

      It's more about dedicating space for something I would not use often. The backers are cut directly from the stencil, so the only extra cut is to cut the stencil rectangle out.
