Sign: Football Club

[Lorraine Clinch]

Fine work Joe-i bet the son was well chuffed!

As for price-I have no idea, I’m afraid-not clever enough to even attempt something like this 🙄 Lots of ££££££s I should have thought.

[Dave Bruce]

Nice job Joe, that’s alot of work for a free bee, should have a least charged for materials, especially when paying someone else (Brimark-can’t fault them) to do some of the work.

I would have to sit down and work the price out- sorry.

Just as a matter of interest – what would you charge for this if it was a paying job?

priceless – you cant put a cost on works of art, this is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen on UKSB 😀

Excellent job Joe, Love it. I can see a very lucrative market for these signs. Football mad fans up and down the country would pay crazy prices for a sign like this. Copyright might be a problem though :lol1: :lol1:

[Graeme Speirs]

good work and a very clever move 🙂 can see you keeping the customer for several years now!!!

I like it joe. Looks awesome !! Not a chelsea fan myself. But top job.

How long did it take joe? Did you cut the main circle yourself ? Whats the diameter?

Matt

[Marcella Ross]

that looks great Joe! 😀

[Peter Normington]

That looks the nuts, only comment, not a crit, its a pity that it could not have been done on a convex substrata as the photo suggests, then it would have really "popped"

Very nice work.
Looks expensive for a freebie especially as Dave said your paying some one else to make part of it.

[Carrie Brown]

Nice work Joe, looks great!! 😀

Not sure on price, I would have to work it out ….. but considering its Sunday at 9am and I only had 3 hours sleep ….. theres not much chance of that :lol1:

[Jim McManus]

Joe, that looks the biz! what did you use to cut out the main shape – looks very good to have been cut by hand. :clap3:

[Les Woods]

That’s the dogs danglies – did you really cut the shape out by hand? If so, how did you manage it? I guess you had to be off the booze for at least 48 hours to keep a steady hand! 😉

As for doing it as a freebie, if you’re getting £1 – £1.5k per month from this client, it really does pay to ‘oil the wheels’ occassionaly.

[Joe McNamara]

Thanks for all the feedback on this guys and gals.

It’s not often you get praise like this for a job 😳 .

I may be opening a shop on a very busy main road in Bristol in the next few weeks, and as long as the lease etc. goes through (it’s being processed next week) , I’ll be doing one for myself as a display piece (Celtic, not Chelsea!) Soooo…….

I’ll do it as a demo and send it to Rob to upload.

It’s really not that hard to do and theres about £100 worth of materials in the job.

I think this type of sign could be a great seller for businesses instead of plain vinyl on boards – it looks so much better!

If you buy in the small letters, the rest is just shapes that are easily cut from 5mm and 10mm foamex.
It took about 8 hours to make so I suppose if I was selling it – I’d want about £500 for it.

Cheers
Joe

PS It was really cut by hand – 5mm with an "olfa stainless" knife and the 10mm with my trusty jigsaw.

[David Rowland]

well considering it was free.. then well done.. is that without a CNC cutting, all hand cut?

We often do signs, but for the showroom or signs that get cut wrong go in the showroom.

Does this mean you don’t think it’s any good Dave?

🙄

If you read the topic you’ll see what has been done by hand and what has been cnc cut.

I certainly won’t be putting anything that gets "cut wrong" into a showroom of mine, but each to their own.

Cheers
Joe
