Hey guys!

I know I have been gone a while, but with me getting a new job, and working on a few projects including this shed for my gardening equipment, I have been mighty busy.

I Anyways I plan on Glow Forging a cool sign I can put above the door of this bad boy. Any Ideas?

Let me know what you think!

Here is the finished product (and my thumb):

I just made a cool sign from pallet wood and a piece of 1/8" plywood. I cut out the letters with the scrollsaw (Glowforge would be better and way easier) and then put the pallet wood behind. Iā€™ll see if I can find a picture.

Itā€™s also on a shed.

Nice little garage for the yard/garden tools/equipment!
Wish I had room for one.

I like the style on that - every garden shed should have one, IMO.

Chuckle! We would need one that said ā€œThe Cathouseā€. (They took over the potting shed about ten years back.)

I hear @dan has a cool sign for the White House Office of Science and Technology. Put that sign up on the shed. Will totally confuse the neighborsā€¦

Iā€™ll see if I can remember the layers - Chrome Spray Paint, Burnt Umber (Acrylic) with Sawdust, Burnt Sienna, a light coat of a red stain. finish with a clear exterior spray.

Seeing as you have a daughter plan ahead and the sign would be like ā€œBoyfriendā€™s Body Storage Roomā€.
