Booper 2 Posted February 26, 2010 Maybe its just the angle of the picture but it looks to me like the curve for the lettering on the top is not centered and the spacing seems weird...... apart from that its some good work right there!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toolman 1 Posted February 27, 2010 Maybe its just the angle of the picture but it looks to me like the curve for the lettering on the top is not centered and the spacing seems weird...... apart from that its some good work right there!! It is the angle i took 4 pics straight on but the flash kept bouncing back , turned off the flash then it was too dark so i shot it at an angle.. The spacing is kinda weird double between the R T and double between T and welding. More of an attention getter than anything, guess it worked got yours , now I just hope it gets everyone elses BTW thanks for all nice work remarks from everyone. I really appreciate them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest manwayvan Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks alot it looks killer and def goes with the theme.I like your frames also..If you dont mind me asking what are you using to cut the metal with? Tin Snips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toolman 1 Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks Man I cut the tin with a circular saw and a paneling blade.. Just be sure and have safety goggles it really throws the chips but works great kinda leaves a rough edge but I always cover it with the frame. oh yeah use an old saw kinda messes with the bearings. I have an old one that i only use for sawing metal also cuts sign aluminum too..Hey did you ge the pm with the ph number to metal shop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhelms 5 Posted February 27, 2010 Toolman and everyone you know to cut metal easier (lightweight) turn your saw blade backwards the teeth wont grab so cutting is so much smoother and easier on a good saw usually I do use panelling blade but any will work backwards just be safe ( glasses and appropriate safeetymeasures and hang on to th saw till blade stops it is hard to put signs up missing fingers) jhelms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
