Although I didn't catch this video until much later, I did enjoy learning how to make these signs from old (or new) advertising. I've got a few advertisements from old magazines already and now I know what to do with them. It makes me want to look for some more. It did get me to thinking that shrinking these down to doll house or model trian size would be easily accomplished. Plus, I live in a city located on old Route 66 that has a rich history of such signs painted on nearly everything from brick walls, to barn roofs, to a historic water tower shaped like a catsup bottle. People would love to see reproductions of those on display in regular size as well as in miniature. Thanks for sharing this craft with us!

Typically old signs have no sheen unless they're the old porcelain signs. I like the idea to use sheet metal.

Liked; subscribed! Didn't know you could use this process on metals. So I learned something valuable, sir! I am considering doing this to the entire side of a 4-drawer file cabinet I use for garage storage, instead of trying to paint it. And I truly appreciate the ability to make something custom-designed and unique, even if it doesn't necessarily save money. Here, you've made several signs for the price of a single one that you could buy. And that makes this a REAL successful endeavor. I definitely will be looking for this in your videos, but if you haven't made it yet, you should do a video on that car stereo installed in the cabinet that I spied on the way into the man-cave / she-shed lobby. If that is functioning, I think that's a pretty cool idea (I started a similar boombox and I have yet to finish it).

@@daliakanellakis7245 I haven't displayed one outdoors, so i'm not sure. I doubt it would hold up. However, I am going to experiment with the process by using Mod Podge on the back to adhere to the metal, and then use a Matte finish or gloss clear coat aerosol to coat the face of the sign, as well as the back. It dries much harder and will battle the elements better. I am going to make sure to cover the edges as well. If you beat me to it, let me know how it works. Good news is, if it doesn't work, you won't have a lot of money tied up in the sign. Best of luck.

I enjoy making signs myself and to make them look like they have rust, I use craft (Matt finish) paint in a nutmeg color and also sprinkle a bit of cinnamon let it dry .Yes the spice right from the cabinet🤭. Of course it doesn't return inside..Wipe off the excess that doesn't stick to the wet paint ..
