    Posted by Nigel Fraser on 14 December 2004 at 22:42

    Had a bit of a rushed job which Craig from Elite Signs helped me out with by supplying the neon and fittings in a very short time ๐Ÿ˜€ cheers mate !
    Aluminium frame with dibond panels and circular light box (backlit with white neon too) and pink/blue neon strip highlights.

    Just got in from fitting it about half an hour ago because we had to work after hours at the shopping centre where the shop was ๐Ÿ™„ but went without fault and customer was really pleased.

    Also shown is another of todays fittings which was a nice smooth fitting job too – amazing to get two easy jobs in one day ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I keep thinking that that makeup shop looks like a american diner or something ! It didn’t take much thought on my part, customer just wanted the shop to be more visible from further down the shopping area and I suggested a bit of neon would do the trick ๐Ÿ™‚ then they wanted it all done and installed in 4 days or so which was a little bit of a rush ๐Ÿ™„

    Post sign was from ashby and I find them very efficient and generally good quality too.

    Nigel

    Both look the business, on the solicitors sign, do you buy the complete sign as an assembly or is it just the posts, if so what kind of panels are used and how are they attached.

    Just me being curious

    Class work as usual Nigel on this and the other work you’ve posted recently, although I do find the solicitors sign is a little to plasticky for my tastes.

    thanks for your comments people ๐Ÿ˜€ I’ll try and post some more stuff when i get through the ridiculous pile of work i have atm !

    Bob, the “clarks” sign is all aluminium from ashby trade supplies and it comes in kit form. Posts/finials/front panel trays and rear panel trays. The front panel trays have two holes in the return of each side and they lineup with nut inserts which are already fitted into the posts themselves – we bolted the lot together and then lifted it in to the holes complete. Then all we had to do was level up a little and fit the back trays which cover the bolts and make it look more substantial using csk self tappers.

    good to have a natter on the phone dewi, think i’ll leave the future wraps until you’ve been on that course – you can teach me a thing or two then ๐Ÿ˜‰
