  • Media 1 builds tons of huge signs, but it's the small ones that sometimes are the most challenging.
    Our Lead Fabricator Steve Pass explains the difficulty of building a small sign and how to overcome the challenges involved when a client wants something that takes specialized tools and forward thinking in the design process.

    Small letters like this make me want that Asian bender that scores the metal.

    Could you have done stick wielding? Asking as someone who only recently entered the sign industry.

  • @bluecollarsigndesignsconsu3231

    Why not weld the return on the outside and then grind it?. Also, do you guys paint the inside a reflective white?. Just wondering if illumination works well without painting the inside. Great job with the videos. Keep up the good work!!

      Dont quote me, but it looks like the finish was brushed metal, which is already a pain to work with when welding is concerned. Even if it wasnt, you chance pitting which will involve detailed bondo work. Tig welding would probably be the best for that, if it was an option, because these mig welders most companies use will blast holes through very thin sheets, .040 and on down. .063, you have a chance of it not warping

    Why don´t you just glue it?

    Could be worse. Could be a regular channel piece thats been shaped with an accubend. Believe me, Ive been there. A medical company called Med Star uses similar serifs

    Boys, Get yourself a Channel Letter Bending Machine. You would have seen thousands at the sign show ?

      Bro! We have a badass SDS bender, it's awesome, but sometimes., Steve just insists on bending it himself! 😂

      Not saying all of them are junk, but we have an accubend, and its terrible. I call in an inaccubend. I have to manually shape everything after the returns are made with it, and they're still not perfect because of the machine will bend in the wrong spots, the sizes will be off. And a lot of it is because these knuckleheads wont calibrate it properly

      We have a letter bender here in Australia.. it's flawless.. can pump out a 16 letter 10 inch high sign in a few hours.
      Laser welder would also solve those hard to reach spots

    Next time save yourself the trouble and order this type of sign from Steelart, US Sign Fabrication or The Signage Factory.
    Those companies specialize in these types of signs.
