I have a client that wondered if I can make their primary outside sign. My initial response is no but the idea is interesting. I do not have a CNC so I would have to sub it out. The primary sign shop in the area has basically ignored their requests for a quote so that is the only reason I am contemplating this project.
I am including the basic sign shape that is at the site. The sign will be removed so a new sign can be installed. Existing sign is routed and engraved. The edge is routed away to provide step down before the edge of the sign. All letters and graphics look V carved. The sign is 4'x8' and about 4" thick. It looks to be all wood.
The sign is completely held up by two posts from underneath. There are two bolts per bracket. I included side and top view in the cdr.
I would have to create a sign that could be bolted from the bottom (no side supports). The shape could be modified. Also, the client requested to raise the sign at least a foot so I would need to modify the existing support brackets or make the new sign taller. I have a contractor already who stated he would cut off the existing supports and put a new pole around the existing and weld the top bracket on. I was hoping to just find a source for a new support but maybe it is normal to manufacture your own.
Initially I had thought that I could use a flat surface sign and use raised letters/objects for the name and logo but not sure the best material to do this with.
I also have no idea what even a ballpark figure to charge for something like this. If possibly I can find someone in the NW to do this, I could sub it out to you and have it shipped with me installing.
