AggieDave 6 #1 July 3, 2003 I'm making a "beer light" sign, by cutting a design/words out of some diamond plate sheetmetal, then backlighting it with blue colored lights. I need some ideas for the design. I was thinking maybe just cutting "BEER" out, but that's sorta lame. I have a 24"x48" piece of diamond plate I'm working with here, so I have room to play. Please post ideas.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laurel 0 #2 July 3, 2003 How about a big blue sign with purple outline that says Dirk Diggler. The name is so sharp, it cuts glass. Please tell me someone remembers this from Boogie Nights?.....................................................................

andy2 0 #3 July 3, 2003 I like the traditional beer lights, get a budweiser, bud light, corona, whatever style one. Theyre neat and look good at a dropzone. You could probably find one online somewhere for exspensive or check on ebay or at your local flea market. Its all good, dude. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #5 July 3, 2003 Yeah, they're relatively expensive, though. Since diamond plate is pretty cheap and the light I'm using is cheap, all it'll take is maybe an hour of my time with my cutting torche and my angle grinder. A hour is probably the high side of the equation, too.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 219 #10 July 3, 2003 Maybe a bottle shape and a beer mug shape can be cut out as well. Both should be relatively easy to draw and cut out.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #12 July 3, 2003 How about a beer bottle cap that spins with a light underneath it? You could fabricate one out of diamond plate and just take a small motor out of one of the major appliances that's on your porch to spin it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #17 July 3, 2003 It seems "Beer Light" may be construed by some dyslexics as "Light Beer." Maybe something like "Aler On/ Aler Off" Maybe that's a little to subtle, though... My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfrese 0 #22 July 3, 2003 Hey, some of the most powerful machines of the 20th century came about because a redneck with a cuttin' torch decided to challenge himself...don't cut yourself short, buddy! I've always thought putting it right next to the fridge with the arrow flashing "for those who owe...here you go" would be lame but appropriate...every skydiver would know EXACTLY what it meant, the whuffos would never understand.Doctor I ain't gonna die, Just write me an alibi! ---- Lemmy/Slash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #23 July 3, 2003 Ok, being a redneck myself, how about cutting out the word "BEER" out of the diamond plate then framing the whole thing with some barnwood trim. Kinda rustic like. I think it would fit in at your dz. Just an idea Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
