Making a GIANT Marquee Sign | Metal Working

In this weeks video we tackle a massive rush job fabricating a gigantic marquee sign for fine artist Oliver Clegg. We had only 4 days to complete all of the metal work on this project and since Matt Nick and I all work full time jobs it left us to work from 5 pm - 2am all week to get this one done on time.

Title:
"IN THE END IT’S NOT THE YEARS IN YOUR LIFE THAT COUNT IT’S THE LIFE IN YOUR YEARS"
by Oliver Clegg

Oliver Clegg designed this piece and with the help of Shisanwu LLC (Fine art fabricators) it was brought to reality.

The piece was auctioned off at the AMFAR ( The foundation for AIDS Research) 2018 LA Gala Event.
