You missed the proper punctuation Harv...there should have been an "excavation" point!

Steve,

I knew it wouldn't take you long to "tread" on this topic. :-)

David,

You know it's hard to pass these up....but just to make myself "clear"...I wasn't trying to be "pushy" :-)

Dave,

Back to your original and quite clever solution and post. May I suggest you hire a band for the groundbreaking. I recommend one we had back in Columbus called "Phil Dirt and the Dozers".

Dave thanks for the view. good work!!

Now you will need more "horsepower" to " winch" this topic out of the mud. A real "crawler" if you ask me. Much longer and we will have to "trac" down the real "hitch point" to this discussion.....

We need someone to "sprocket" this topic up a knotch and "extend" it's longevity before David lowers the "boom" and "scraps" the whole "undercarraige"

You hit the "starter button" on the head so now you will have to wait for the "big diesel" to crawl to a stop or the forks to "dig in".

David,

I'm sorry. I'll have to learn not to be so quick to take Harvey's bait. :-) 

Are those wooden bases on your awards?

Looks like sublimated plates. Is that the case?

Nice! :S

The bases are walnut with an ebony finish. The plates are laser-sublimated brushed aluminum.

The thing I like best (other than being paid for the work) is that our company label will be on the bottom of these and will be going to representatives from all levels of government - city, county, state and federal.

Very creative David.

Just the type of thing that will drive your (out of the catalog) competition crazy, plus that type of job is much more fun to do.

That customer will be back, time and time again.

That's a boat load of pulling power.. I hope the vendor does not have problems handing them out to the "officials" since they were not personal awards.. they are "gifts" and I know thr Fed's love to track gifts from contractors...... Just thougt I mention it... as long the the value is less than $100 they may be ok........ B-)

I know what you are saying, but this is actually a combined gift from the State and the contractor in recognition of the collaborative effort of all involved in getting this project approved and funded.

Hi Dave,

Looks great.....What is the size of the base, and the plate that is attached?

I have been wanting to do something similar, and need a specific size for this project.

Do the folks that made the bases have a web site?

Brian,

The top section of the base had to be 7" x 4.25". They used a #14 cut, which is a 22.5o angle on all four sides. Using 1" material, this creates a base that is 7.875" x 5.125" at its largest widths.

The angled sides creates an area that is 1.125" high. I chose to use a plate that was 4" x 1", leaving a .0625" area of wood above and below the plate.

That's all the details for now.
