@Knick the outer diameter is 24 inches. its not as heavy as it could have been. the bottom layer is not solid. i cut the center out for weigh considerations. It weighs 13 pounds. it is 16g.
i thought about using acrylic for the white background in the center, that would have saved a couple pounds but during design I wasn’t sure how i was going to mount everything and was worried there might be welding involved. One fantastic aspect about being bolted or screwed together…when you screw up some paint…which i did twice!!! its far easier to take apart and deal with one blem color instead of masking multiple layers and screwing up other paint while you try to fix the first. @Wsidr1 Thank you. This is a sign that i am donating anonymously to the department of the fallen firefighter. Usually i would promote a sign like this but not doing that with this one, this is not something i want to benefit financially from. I hesitated even putting it here but I don’t really expect anyone here to by a sign from me as you guys are making your own! I put it here just to stimulate brains…and share techniques. I hadn’t ever thought of rivnuts before either and they worked so good i thought you guys might benefit from seeing them in practice. The Kubota sign has potential. your right though…the oval and circle make it tough to decide what path to put what on. I find with some designs a smaller oval is preferential to a larger circle, if that makes sense at all…if I see one shape being more eye appealing over another I usually try to sell my customer on that concept. For basic single layer signs I compute a price just height x’s width x’s (x cents) = cost i dont calculate actual square inches so usually it really doesnt affect price very much but final product looks more balanced.
