I made this one for the shop that I restored for the New Braunfels Conservation Society but I don't have one at my home shop since it's located behind the house and no one ever visits (apart from other blacksmiths).

I made the sign brace in 1981 while a student at Salem College. The sign was made in March of 2007 by Country Fab, with their new computer controlled plasma table. My initials in the center is what I have been using as my mark for over 20 years.

Pretty decent sign Chris, a little more use of negative space and I think it'd be an excellent one.

Good to see you've added to your web site too.

I made this for Mike a few years back for Christmas. It is all 3/8" aluminum.

It is all cut out on a waterjet.
Anvil is Black anodized
Letters are Gold anodized

I ran a couple of waterjet machines, and did some editing for a sign company. I did all the cutting, anodizing, and finishing during lunch breaks for a week or so. It was a good experience...
