3/15/12 - The shop will be closed this week while we go visit a good friend of ours Dan Sawatzky of Yarrow, BC Canada. Dan is a master, award winning sign sculptor and we are excited to learn some of his techniques at his World Famous Sign Sculpting Workshop.
3/30/12 - We have the go head on a very interesting project for the Clarence Dillion Public Library's new Children and Community Gardens. Unfortunately, the budget is low, but they have given us carte blanch on creativity so lets have some fun!
3/1/12 - Handmade by Gary placed 3rd in Signs of the Times Magazine's Annual Sign Competition under the Commercial Sign Category. Winners included designers from China, Australia, Canada and the United States. A good friend of ours, Dan Sawatzky of Yarrow, BC, Canada won 2nd place in the Sign Systems Category. Congratulations Dan! Photos of the winning entries can be seen in the March edition of the Magazine.
This year I gave the business a present, a new Millermactic 211 Mig Welder and Hypertherme 30 Plasma Cutter. We purchased the steel welding and cutting equipment to allow us to build bigger, stronger signs. Most of the time the steel will be used to build Interior frameworks to our signs allowing them to be bigger, thicker, heavier and stronger. It would also be fun to make some decorative signs and hangers as well.
Tipsy Moose Tavern received an honorable mention in S&DG’s Annual Portfolio Design Contest. First place went to a good friend of ours, Roger Cox from House of Signs in Frisco Co. Congratulations Roger. A photo of Tipsy will be featured in the December edition of the magazine.
