Our new addition is coming nicely but we need to concentrate on finishing before the cold weather sets in. Its important that we finish up soon so that we can not only get back to normal but take advantage of all the benefits and new capabilities our new shop will bring to us and our customers. We ask you to please be patient. We are doing our best to process orders in production and help customers in a timely manner but please be advised that turn around times, returned phone calls and emails will be delayed for the foreseeable future
Our New CNC Router Finally Arrives!
Its been a long time coming, but its finnally arrived. Our new CNC is state of the art, its bigger, faster, easier to use and more equipped to deal with the complexities of 3d sculpting. We just need to put it through its paces, test its boundaries and we'll be off to making more and more complex sculpted signs. Built from scratch by Tom Penner and Matt Shaver, its a pretty awsome piece of technology I can't wait to get my hands on...
One Good Sign Deserves Another
Word has gotten around and we are pleased to announce that we will be making another custom sign for local emergency service volunteers, this time in the picturesque community of Peapack-Gladstone. The squad was interested in replacing a dated 1980's sandblasted sign with a new dimensional sign. I designed the posts to echo the shape of the portico of the colonial style building. We will make the hanging frame out of cedar for its beauty and longevity and will paint or stain it grey to link it to the building. The shape of the sign is roughly that of a bell as a symbol of emergency services. I look forward to starting work. This handcrafted carved sign will have raised gold leaf lettering against a woodgrained burgandy background.
Liberty Corner Fire Dept Gets a New Sign
After making a beautiful custom dimensional sign for Basking Ridge last year their sister station in Liberty Corner took a closer look at their own sign and realized it was time. This handcrafted sign was made to resemble their sister station but still have its own look and personality just like the brave volunteers in each station. There is a bit of a rivalry between the 2 stations, so don't ask me which sign I like better, like my children I love them equally. Thanks again to the many hands that volunteered to help us raise up this 500lb Carved Sign.
Walls and a Roof
On Friday, we finished up on the wall and roof of the new office. Reed's Lumber in charge of the barn reconstruction chose the Zip system which is a new flake board that is prepainted on one side which eliminates the need for tar paper on the roof or Tyvek on the outer walls. Seams are sealed using a special tape. Now all we need is electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, an insulation, sheetrock, stairs and a cement floor, Oh'well we'll get there eventually.... In the meantime we are still making our custom dimensional signs in our old building right next door.
