North Pole - Tune To Radio Sign

[bob_moody]

Doing my best to stay focused this year. Between the website, the blog, the calendar, and SANDRA ... I'm actually right on schedule.

I finished the North Pole / Tune To sign today. I also updated our How-To section with this project along with the blog and the calendar.

Hope you like it...

Forgot to mention, it is a double sided sign..

looks great,the only thing I would be concerned about is the size. how close to the traffic will it be?

[bob_moody]

It will be right at the street.

The sign is physically the same size as our old Tune To sign and I never had issues with visability even when we had it set back on the yard.

That is a really nice looking sign and post Bob.
I loved one of your photo captions in the How To section:

"I had these hooks and decided to use them. Not sure what they are called, what they are used for, where they came from or where to get them. But they worked great"

That made me laugh pretty good.

Those screw down items on the sign and arm are called: "Heavy Duty Pads" and can be found here: (or in most boat supply stores, hardware stores may/may not carry them)

The other hooks are "S" hooks and can be found at any hardware or boating supply store.

These may not be the best prices, just the ones I found to show what they are and what they are called.

great sign

Nice sign if I say so myself. You might need a light for it so that in the dark, people will be able to see it...just a fast thought.
