Whats happening at Torchcraft....
3D Rockin Armadillo
I don't usually tackle these kinds of projects but a previous customer from the Rockin Armadillo Ranch asked me if I could make a 3D Armadillo like his logo for his ranch. First I framed out the basic shape with square tubing, then added the exterior pieces made up of 1/8" and 3/16" thick plate. Finally it was sand blasted and powder coated. I sure got a lot of looks while pulling this down the road.....

The Torchcraft Difference....
Torchcraft cuts most outdoor signs from 3/16-inch (7 gauge) new plate steel. Indoor signs may be cut from 1/8-inch steel. It's easy to see from the photo the difference in thickness of Torchcraft steel vs the "other guys". Most other artist cut from a flimsy 14 gauge steel such as the one pictured above that I picked up from a local art show. When you think about your metal sign, do you want one as thick as a paper clip or as thick as 4 dimes? Thats an 82% difference.
