    That's beautiful. Where did you get all the plate pieces from. Nice work

      Junk yards often take cars in with the plates still on. Develop a good relationship with a shop and you can buy all they bring in.

    Awesome video, what kind of tool do you use to cut the plates, there is now way you use tin snips. Band saw?

    • @southernbalance4221
      @southernbalance4221  3 роки тому +2

      Tin snips work fine, but I draw a straight line down it with a pencil and a speed square.

    @christined.3728 3 роки тому +2

    So you also poly the front sides? And do you only use the big tin snips for cutting the plates or do you use other tools, too? I think they look great!

    • @southernbalance4221
      @southernbalance4221  3 роки тому +4

      Hello Christine, I do not poly the front, only the back. But I also Kilz and paint under the plates to seal it incase a customer uses it outside. I usually use long hand snips that cut straight.

    Did you cut all of those plates by hand or did you use a band saw?

    • @southernbalance4221
      @southernbalance4221  3 роки тому

      I use all different colors, I don't remember what color I used in the video. Any and all colors look great. You can't go wrong, just experiment.

    Why not stain first before placing the letters?

    Are you using a brad nailer or a pin nailer? Thanks

    • @southernbalance4221
      @southernbalance4221  3 роки тому +2

      Hello mkw36, I'm using a brad nailer. But you can use either, as long as what you're shooting in is short enough and doesn't come out of the back side of the wood you're using.
      I'll be doing a similar build very soon, its just hard to find the time to film being I work everyday. But stay tuned, you'll see some good future content.

    • @chrisreynolds2410
      @chrisreynolds2410 2 роки тому

      If you get back to me tonight and we come to an agreement I’m willing to go out and get as many as say 75-100 tonight and prepared to go as low as $5-$7 per plate.
      I’m talking about nice plates mew issues no old rusty stuff. I will acquire vanity plates for $10 for you.
      Hurry we still got time before the sun comes up.
      Do you have cashapporvenmo?

    • @chrisreynolds2410
      @chrisreynolds2410 2 роки тому

      Want them…at this point I take $4 each if you take them all.
