Lars 526 #1 Posted April 6, 2013 Hey Fellas.. i was bored here for a few days a go so ill went out to my shop.. to see if there was anything i could do LOL.. Hmm found some stuff.. then ill got the to make me a wheel horse sign. since i prolly never will find one here in norway. . so here are a few pict of what i did.. used as back side same stuff as they use in light sign (opalwhite cast acrylic) a board I cut slots in to acrylic stickers I had lying around that I put on then it was time to make a frame for it ... mounting the led light is about 240 of them Then it was time to try it and se how it worked.. wow it worked but the horse seems to be black.... well time to try it on the wall.. much better can se the horse head is RED but ill think it is a bit to bright.. well this was a test!! the bottom of the frame is bad so i have to make a new pice to put in there..but it light's up the shop really good.. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GlenPettit 1,714 #16 Posted April 7, 2013 People who cut the vinyl also have a "semi-transparent" red vinyl that will appear Red. Definitely add the "Lar's Wheel Horse Workshop", maybe in an arc near the top . . . . great idea, I'm going to try to make one too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,495 #17 Posted April 7, 2013 LARS I like it a lot and I am sure you did not spend anywhere near $400 for that sign ! It looks better and will last longer than the real thing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glen you need to make one:) not hard at all:) LARS I like it a lot and I am sure you did not spend anywhere near $400 for that sign ! It looks better and will last longer than the real thing!! Thanks Lane.. im not sure how much i have in to it.. the most expensive on it was the opalwhite cast acrylic.... Wow, I want one. That is great. nice job you should start selling them. Hmm that would be an idea to do.. but not a big market for it here:(... and it would be to pricy to shipp over the pond. Looks awesome Lars...what took you so long?
