Re: Business Sign
Great job. What type of stud welder did you use? Or how did you fasten them?

Re: Business Sign
Thank you everybody! I use 1/4" bolts for fasteners and 1.5" aluminum standoffs for the spacers. Looks like a lot of work but it really isn't! You gotta let the machine do all of the work! All I did was paint it and assemble it. This was my first big business sign. I showed it off at a local business showcase and got 6 orders for different businesses off of this one sign. I didn't know that I was going into the sign making business, just kind of fell right into it!

Re: Business Sign
So did you just weld the head of the bolt to the back of the letters?

Re: Business Sign
I weld the nut on the back of the letters. That way I can use button head bolts through the back. I need a low profile for the back because it will hang on a wall. It turns out real nice and clean, even the backside where the bolt heads are looks cool!

Re: Business Sign
how do you know where to weld the nut to the letter? my first sign like that was a pain in the ass because i had no idea where to locate the studs on the letters. i should of cut the holes in the letters the same place as the backing plate and welded them in and ground them down. there has to be a better way?
