Marquee Numbers | How to build | Short version

In this video I explain my process for building 4' tall (50.25" with frame and base) marquee numbers.
I use 3/4" plywood and one number uses roughly 75% of a full sheet however all numbers will obviously vary.

Nice job

[@thehooklessrapper]

Thank you!

[@sayauntataylor6760]

would like to know if you sell them , if so how much

[@TheWeshub1971]

How tall are the side pieces that frame the number? And how much space do you leave on the back? One inch?

[@twisteddesignco]

The sides are 6” and yes I leave 1” on the back

[@fernando75ful]

What angle do you leave in the corners?

[@ballonim]

Hello from Germany, i like your video. You mix the filler with water to fill it in the bottel. How many water you use? Thanks Gabriel

[@twisteddesignco]

I use just enough to thin the filler without it being to watery however I have since started using white caulking

[@darrylfoster5623]

How long did it take you to make a single marquee number?

[@cesarvalencia648]

What size hole did you use for the lights

[@twisteddesignco]

I use a 13/16” Forstner bit, it’s the perfect size for the socket. This is the size I use for these lights

[@mrobertaw68]

Nice job do you sell and ship them? If so how much?

[@twisteddesignco]

My apologies for the terrible response time, I currently am not shipping these due to the cost being through the roof.

[@davisharogers7447]

Can you give measurements for the base

[@twisteddesignco]

The base is 18” front to back, the width is usually only a couple inches wider then the marquee bottom which can vary

[@davisharogers7447]

@@twisteddesignco thanks for responding

[@CWills6385]

Just made a 16 for my daughters party. How much do you rent them for?

[@twisteddesignco]

I rent the 4’ Marquees for $98 each

[@its_marc]

@@twisteddesigncohow long is that rental for?

[@sondrastanley7230]

Which drill bit did you used to drill the holes?

[@twisteddesignco]

With these lights which are the Better Homes and Garden 20ct from Walmart I use a 13/16” forstner bit, you can order one online or purchase them at a woodworking supplier like Rockler or Woodcraft

[@sondrastanley7230]

What are you using to lift the number from the table when glueing the sides on?

[@twisteddesignco]

@@sondrastanley7230 I cut 1” strips and place the underneath to get a 1” lip on the back side

[@sondrastanley7230]

@@twisteddesignco thank so much

[@chrismartinez5379]

Can you share link for the lights?

[@twisteddesignco]

I use the better homes and garden 20ct string lights from Walmart

[@chrismartinez5379]

Thanks brother, appreciate it

[@CWills6385]

@@twisteddesigncothat’s what I used as well.

[@secerealwilliams2018]

What kind of wood filler do you use?

[@twisteddesignco]

I was using DAP Plastiwood filler but I have now started using white caulking to fill all the seems because it is much faster.

[@torijeschke2273]

About how much does this weigh?

[@twisteddesignco]

If I remember correctly they are around 30-35lbs
