Before And After

Father ask can we save this sign? That big oak tree at church missed It I guess, But flying debris did not,

Yes really easy if you use a press it will straighten without the stretch you will get from pounding on it. Otherwise use a 2x6 with a 4x6 under it and hit the 2x6 first flat ways to start smoothing it out Then use it edgeways for a firmer finish to it. IF aluminum it will already be stretched some so may not come back to original finish. IF steel it should be able to work back to very close to original. Then you could add that this is the real road to salvation a bit rocky but always is if it is worth doing.

Great job.

Great job.

Thanks Ultradog MN,

You think I was building a rocket ship, with some of the remark. I left the material that way on purpose, stronger that way.
Also a reminder of that day. The organist was practicing, and some branches go to close for comfort for her.

By the way, I used toothpaste to clean the sign, and gave it a coat of wd40, and I called done!

Looks great. I am sure the Father appreciates the work.

It's unclear what, exactly, the situation is/was. I thought I was looking at two different signs.

Just to clarify. That sign is at the back of the church. It is a prayer garden. The wind took down a tree that damaged the sign. I was asked to see if I could save it. I kind of took some of the kinks out, and gave it a quick clean up,

Guido.
