Description: A big thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video. Click here to get 10% off your first website or domain: squarespace.com/rainfallprojects I'm really excited to be going to Maker Faire this year. I wanted to build a booth front for the convention. The challenge about this was designing it so it would break down and fit on a standard size pallet so I can ship it down there. I start off by cutting out the YouTube logo that I can hang on the booth. Next I grab a pallet from the farm and break it down so I can use the wood for the back of the sign. I form a rough shape of an arch with the wood pieces and screw them together using a 1x2 backing strip. Once I had it clamped down to the welding table, I routed in an abstract design and then profiled around the outside of the arch, cutting it out. Next I made a metal frame for the arch on the ring roller, and attached the boards to it one at a time. After the sign was done, I moved onto building the stand for it. I cut some panels that Kelly drew for me and centered them in a 1.25" steel tubing frame. I attached some feet and lastly laid them flat on the welding table so I could attach the sign to the stand. Come say hi at Maker Faire!
