Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Look at what I just dug up..

.....MORE:

4. I DRILLED 8 HOLES THRU THE TRIM, METAL AND OPPOSITE SIDE TRIM. TURNS OUT MY 1/4" X 1" LONG BOLTS WEREN'T LONG ENOUGH TO ACCOMODATE THE WIDTH OF THE WOOD/SIGN SANDWICH ALONG WITH TWO WASHERS. SO I HAD TO COUNTERSINK ONE SIDE. IT WAS JUST ENOUGH TO GET THE NUT DOWN SNUG ENOUGH AND FLUSH WITH THE BOLT.



5. I CUT OFF THE EXCESS TRIM AND GROUND IT TO THE ORIGINAL TOP EDGE OF THE SIGN.



6. I WAS THINKING ABOUT FILLING IN THE GAP (SHOWN IN PIC 4) WITH A PAINTABLE CHAULK OR SILICONE. THE OAK WOULD BE PRIMED AND EVENTUALLY PAINTED A MATCHING COBALT BLUE TO MATCH THE ORIGINAL EDGE BORDER.

7. FOR HANGING PURPOSES I COULD RIG A LOOP OR HOOK AT EACH END OF THE TOPSIDE EDGE IF NEED BE.

THANKS!
