Building a Better Neon Desert: Part One


Neon Desert is to be El Paso's first official music festival.  Fortunately, the Neon Desert Crew picked us to help them construct some of the structural components of the festival.  Here are some of the beginnings of what will become the Neon Desert sign.  The first part of making this unique sign is planning out the shape. Once the shape, size, and design of the sign are set in place, this all needs to be transfered to the wood being used to construct the sign.



Drawing out the sign may be the toughest, yet most important part.  After the sign is drawn out, the wood needs to be cut.  This sign has some really interesting cuts. To save wood all the sign template letters were cut out of six sheets.  There wasn't much scrap wood left over from these template sheets. This sign is going to be quite large, well over twenty feet long, and eight feet tall.  To add a bit of a twist, the sign is also going to be three-dimensional.
