Routing, carving, sculpting, welding, fabricating, cutting, gluing, painting, gilding - all in one project!

We do lots of things in our shop. It comes with the territory. We have to be master of many trades. This next project involves a lot of fun things including design, cutting, welding, fabricating, routing, carving, sculpting, painting and gilding! It uses a whole bunch of Precision Board too.
A restaurant just a half block from our place needed a new sign. I came up with a design and the owners loved it - but... There's always a but. They asked that I also include a motorcycle in the design. It seems the owner loves to ride his bike on Vedder Mountain, so much they named the restaurant after it. I scratched my head for a classy way to include the bike... until I came up with the idea to include it on the bracket. The owners loved it!
Next it was time to get into the shop and get busy with all the tools and materials I love to use.
Stay tuned!
