Got a little more done on the scaffolding. I made up some corner posts to attach the kick board & cut some slots for the corner tie downs.

Image

Capped off & welded. I put a short collar over the receivers to make dropping in the railing parts easier.

Image

Got the frames for the kick boards welded up. Installed the tie downs to take the wobble out of the railings.

Image

Made up a pair of racks to hold 2''x4'' framing lumber.

Then I designed some graphics & laminated them to some .040 aluminum.

Image

Cut them to size

Image

Using the graphic as a guide, I bead rolled a raised panel to make the graphic a little more 3d & stiffen the panels.

Image

Formed the panels in the brake & screwed them to the frames.

Image

All installed. That's it so far. I printed the graphics on reflective material so it can be seen better at night.

Thanks everybody. Here's a couple jobs I did today. The plaque is a gift for a customer's granddaughter & the angel is for my daughter's Father-In-Law. He wanted an angel playing a flute for his daughter but said he can't find one anywhere. His daughter is an accomplished flutist.
