<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KingofThings, post: 93047, member: 468&quot;]Ok.... I&#039;m not really comfortable adding more but I guess that is what this forum is for so....</p><p>Having actually had a contract to learn sheet metal work while serving in the navy...when I left I did a few things such as build stainless steel restaurant equipment in Jacksonville, FL then large boats, tugboats &amp; ships in Atlantic Beach, FL then went home to Vegas.</p><p>There I built large beams for buildings and other stuff but bored with that my Dad had the idea to check sign shops. The first one I went in hired me on the spot.</p><p>These are some of the signs I&#039;ve built. Note that I never took pictures of what I built. While fun, it was my job and just didn&#039;t happen to do it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> and so I&#039;ve had to try to build a portfolio with photos from online including postcards from garage sales and ebay&gt;</p><p>&gt;My first tall free standing sign with Spanish tile roof. (7-11)</p><p>The top is larger than you may imagine, about the size of a very large tent. Signs are much larger in the shop than when they are installed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&gt;The Imperial Palace letters and logo were the first large signs I made with the letters each 22&#039; tall.</p><p>&gt;The Flamingo letters on both sides of the old tower, not the new, and later the pointy H was added and also on the former International Hotel when it bcamee the Hilton with its 3 sets of letters and pointy H. (It&#039;s a swirly oval H now like @)</p><p>&gt;The red arch over David on the the front of Caesar&#039;s Palace Atlantic City was built by me in Vegas and shipped to AC. Long gone now but does anyone recall it? Not even the CP archivist remembered this!!! I suggested she go on ebay and buy a card I saw there. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Thank you for the opportunity to show them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]23545[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
