Ducks!

We were asked to give these brass ducks a warm patina. We start with a thorough cleaning.

Ducks!

And then finish with patina application and wax.

Rendezvous Sign

We just completed the installation of the new sign at Rendezvous in Central Square, Cambridge, Ma. This is a fine, fine restaurant, and we are proud to be working with them on their revamped store front. Here are some picture of the fabrication of the name part of the sign. These are painted aluminum letters, brass and stainless, both with patina finish.

The letters are waterjet cut from aluminum, and then we blind welded studs to them for gluing into sign substrate. Then they were powdercoat painted.




The frame is of stainless flat bar that is heat bent for the radiused corners, and then welded into a frame. The brass is given a warm honey brown patina and sealed.

Rendezvous Sign - New Canopy Fabrication

Here is fabrication of the new stainless frame canopy, with brass sides and roof. It will be lit within so that the stars glimmer.




Rendezvous Sign - Old Canopy

This is the existing canopy that we are replacing, as well as adding sconces and planters.
