As of Feb 9, 2012, I have been bending neon for 22 years.(miles of bright color).and sheetmetal for 35 years. I can weld with my left hand upside down iced, better than most can standing up with their right hand.. (I am right handed). I am the best !
WHAT IS MOTIVATION ? FORWARD THINKING ! and.. a goal of BEING THE BEST.. the below information pretty well tells it..
Sheetmetal and steel fabriction from vo-tech @ 1976-1977
22 YEARS bending neon........in the sign industry
(1976-1977 Sheetmetal in Vo-TECH)
On FEBRUARY 9, 1990 I bent my first neon bend thanks to JOHN SCHLOCUMB in ADDISON TEXAS, a suburb of Dallas.
I have to admit that from the time I first started to the present.. the world has changed radically. From free hand drawing neon patterns to the mastery and complexity of the computer program. We are at: 4208 S. May Ave.
and this is an installation for a Las Vegas Sign Manufacturer. Pictures like actions tell it all !!.. and this is an ACTION sign !!
There are now over 1,700 pictures of signs that we have fabricated on this web site... and because of that.. I am revamping this website to give you more details with pictures of the many sign projects we have completed from start to finish.....
A problem that I do have.. is how to get a camera to take a picture of one of my signs at night and have it come out visible... rather than a BRIGHT gob of light.. I have figured out the best time to take a picture of completed sign projects is at dusk !! .. what a terrible problem that is !! You will see a lot of pictures from my customers who are so proud of their signs that they send me professional quality pictures so I can upload them to this web site ...
And by the way... In January it was 17 below wind chill factor.. and I was 55 feet in the air installing the DROVERS INN sign ( and my guys were right there with me !! ) ...and I was welding upside down... and the fog inside my welding helmet was frustrating.. and then the snow falling on the outside lense of my welding helmet was a double beating.... but the JOB GOT DONE !! and the year before that we were installing the AMERICA'S Pub Sign in BRICKTOWN during a BLIZARD !!
Our new facility has over 36,000 ft.... and we have room for several projects at one time !! and the sign professionals to make it HAPPEN !!
This is what it TAKES !! from the front office to the shop fabrication to the insall and the SERVICE !
I HAVE BEEN BENDING NEON GLASS TUBING SINCE 1990 ! and bending sheetmetal since 1976 .... Welcome to my world and this is what we do !
