November 13, 200916 yr I tend to hang my horse shoes at an angle so a little luck spills into the shop. Here's my signs. The wood sign is portable to hang at demos. Gobbler
November 13, 200916 yr Good job, a little technical guidance for anyone hanging a swinging sign. I note yours has the hangers facing in the same direction. The suspension hooks on the support bar should face in opposite directions so that if a gust of wind causes the sign to swing high, it will only disengage one of the mountings and not allow the sign to become totaly detached and a safety risk if anyone is in close proximity to where it may land.
November 14, 200916 yr I did this one several years back. It's a wall mounted sign. The center is all stainless steel and as stainless warps when you weld it, I sunk it before welding. The curve prevents warping and gives a 3-D look. All of the c-scrolls are hand forged and riveted on. Also included a detail of the dragon on top.

My hooks actually swivel. The lady that took the photos positioned them to her liking for the pic. Gobbler
November 14, 200916 yr Thats fine, but the statement is still valid, how you suspend a sign is your choice, a swivelling hook will also be prone to wearing with time, depending on how much movement you have in them. It was not a criticism, just trying to point out a potential problem for anyone thinking of suspending a swinging sign
November 16, 200916 yr Randy excellent work,I like how every thing flows in your sign. Very creative!!!
