This is my new monument sign. The face panels are 40"x68"x1/4" Alumacor. The Logo is router cut from 2" thick HDU with 3/4" thick prismatic PVC letters set into pockets . The small copy is 3/8" cut out plexiglass.
The rock base was about 40 pieces of 2" HDU scraps, all glued together to form the panels needed.
I first routered the mortar by hand 1-1/2" deep, then with a 4" grinder, quickly rounded the stones.
After a rasp, some putty here and there (Oops)I painted it with flat acrylics.
The posts are 2-4x6 PT.
The edge of the panels was made by cutting about 70 2"x7" blocks and siliconed on to fill the edges.
Thanks to Sam Staffan. John
