    Lighted Buckmark Sign (Plasma Cut)

    After watching a few youtube tutorials on backlight signs, I wanted to try my hand at building a hunting themed sign for our back patio. I went with the Browning Buckmark as it was a fairly easy design to freehand to follow the vinyl pattern.

    After getting the logo transferred to vinyl, cut out of 16 gauge metal, I built several "L" shaped standoffs the width of the led power source to hide between the design and galvanized backing plate. Next I painted the underside silver and outside black to reflect the light better.

    The led ribbon lighting which is super easy to use and install with adhesive tape. An included remote lets you select colors and flash modes. Self tapping screws through the backing into the "L" brackets hold everything together.

          Nearly any wall plug adapter power source will work. I save the power source from items that have crapped out. Just check the voltage output but most are close to the same.

              How did make the corners up on the led ribbon? They just twisted over?

                I know it would add to the cost alittle but they make difuser track that the LED strips lay in where you wouldn't see the individual LED's it whould just be a nice solid glow.

                      What would you charge to make one of these with words and maybe an 8-ball?
