All Rowmark, the matte black solid and brushed silver. Seventeen that are a little smaller and 7 of these 12x12s. I'm having to work all weekend though with this and a couple of other orders but what the heck, it's raining anyway.

Very sharp looking. Is the brushed silver glued on top of the black? What about the right hand strip of silver? How is that attached?

The base layer is the brushed silver 12"x12", then I stuck on a 10"x12" piece of the black, leaving the last 2" showing. Finally I attach the letters. For the letters I use 3M MP 6" wide prior to cutting. For attaching the black to the silver just 3 strips of what I call "banner tape", 1" wide thin but a strong double sided tape. These are all for indoors.

Joe, this looks up to your usual standards and would have expected nothing less from you. Thanks for sharing the details.

Joe,

I was following you all the way until you wrote "3M MP 6" wide".......I assumed you engraved the letters in the black Rowmark.....but apparently not.

In any event, it looks nice.

Right, the letters are cut from the brushed silver, and some of the "busier" ones are tedious work with lots of .4" letters. I laser cut mounting patterns
with heavy paper.

It's actually 3M 467MP and I used 6" because it covers the whole 12x24" sheet with only one seam.

Very elegant work, Joe! It's so nice to see a sign which has some style and quality these days. Not enough people take the time to care about these things like you do. Great job!

cheers, dee
