CON/RS Signage Program... "Wording Crew Where Are You?"

Ok...anti-ripout sign:
Weld another pipe to the main pipe at a 90 degree angle, like an upside down T. Dig a trench 6 feet each way from the main post, lay the upside down T in the trench, concrete the entire thing with 12 bags of sack-crete......
Or use one of General Rommel's Normandy beach anti tank implements......
Or roll that huge rock crusher down the hill from the mine above RS and post the sign on it.......

Wow - you guys are hittin it! The reason that I originally suggested 1/8" for the lettering is because it will be easier to get all of the wording that everyone seems to want. It is just a matter of resolution. If we were just putting up
Rattlesnake- Tread Lightly
then the 3/8's would be no problem and that would be the best way to do it. Mind you this is not a $100,000+ pro machine. I built the machine myself in my garage and have learned alot in the process. It is not perfect, but it does do a very nice job. The plasma end is a pro machine and it has a great cut quality. It keeps getting better as I learn and experiment with it.

wow Um BOSS (whomever) is there a fauset ANYWHERE CLOSE to where we are doing the CONCRETE? Or are we all going to PEE IN A WHEELBARROW AND HOPE FOR THE BEST?
I have the capabilities of bringing 30 gallons in 5 gallon incriments and if we think we need more, when i Moved I carried 200 gallons in seperate containers in two rigs.

How much water does one bag of post mix need roughly? I've always HOSED it and never cared. Someone bring a wheelbarrow and I got the water, there is our concrete mixer...
HA I guess I'm not to late on this thread

ok the main man down at wasatch said that that he cant donate anything , but could give us a great deal on anything that was previously used, or scrap!! he said to take a look and see what we could find!!!
i just might be able to get something that would work myself though!! my old high school had tons of like 4"- 5" OD steel pipe and that sort lieing arround behing the machine shop!!...
i'll see what i can do!!

Boss, thats me...
OK Skye, you are in charge of making sure we have water there... we can discuss the amounts when we finalize the construction process but 30 will be more than enough...

What size of plate would you need to properly put all the lettering on there?
How soon can you start
Thanks
No need to take it to Kinkos. Just send me the dimensions of the metal and the final wording and I will post a dimensionally correct version here for final approval. As far as how soon I can cut it- I can't get much done on it until after Labor day weekend, but I think I can promise it by the following Wed.

That should be fine...
Jeremy, your plate is 3/8" correct? It will be used for the backing plate?
Does anyone have 1/8" kicking around or should we get a price for new stuff? Olllie, can you check with Wasatch?
How does everyone feel about completing this on the Earth Day, yes? No? that gives OCNORB til 9/13/03 to complete both signs and gives the construction crew one week to get the backing plate painted, attatched to the lettered sign and attatched to the pole that Ollie is working on.... Gives us plenty of time for any unexpected problems and time to get the Rodeo out of there as well....

I want in on the install of this.
I can go buy a piece of plate. Tell me how big 2x2, 2x3, 3x3?
Where would I take it after purchase?

We have some old parking lot light poles at my work I can cut off if you guys want. They are like 4", 6", 8" or so. I can cut them to any lenth, and they have bases welded to them if you want to put J-Bolts in the concrete and bolt them in. (Might be easier to go install the bolts one day, and the sign the next?) Or I can cut the base off or whatever. (they are square poles)
