Popular Post RabidAlien Posted January 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted January 17, 2019 Finished up a POW*MIA sign to replace a damaged one at a Facebook friend's VFW. Letters/star/filigree(?) and POW/tower are done out of 3/8" BBply. The backer is 1/2" rough ply scrap that I found at Lowes, a cutoff piece I got for free. It sanded smooth, so I'm happy. Frame is....pine? 2x2 I ripped in half(ish) lengthwise and probably took about 6' worth of wood to make. Frames always seem to surprise me with how much wood they consume. Also with how high my blood pressure gets when making those friggin things. meflick, Phantom Scroller, jollyred and 8 others 11 Quote
Dave Monk Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 That came out great. Wasn't it hard to line up all the letters? RabidAlien 1 Quote

heppnerguy Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Nicely done piece. I am just trying once more to make frames. I too was amazed at all the material that is in a frame. looks like almost no wood at all in one, just to look at it. Your project is done very well and I am sure it is really appreciated that the VFW Good for you to take that much time and effort for remembering those who gave all Dick heppnerguy RabidAlien 1 Quote

It was a lot of eyeballing and guesswork, having a photo of a flag up on my cellphone and nudging letters around before the glue set. I sorta decided that the "not" was centered at the bottom, got that down first, then worked outwards from there. Found out that my spelling sucks even more when spelling a word backwards. Thank you all! Dave Monk and Rob 1 1 Quote
