To help people find their way around a drive-in movie theater, I created an illuminated, steel pylon sign with waterjet-cut directions that can be moved and replaced for future expansion.

That’s Numberwang! Just become a patron too.

Thanks for your support!

I don't normally comment on videos but I have to say how much I enjoy watching your videos. Your style and humor is what makes them as well as the fact that I envy and admire your creativity. Keep it up.

Ah yes!.. I learned about the tension in steel tubing a couple years ago. Needed a piece of steel 1/4" x 4", but didn't have any 1/4" plate lying around. Had a nice piece of 6"x6" though. When the tubing burst opened, it bound up the cutting wheel and the wheel exploded into shrapnel. Got a couple nice nicks in my neck and had to change my shorts before continuing with that project.

This might be my favorite Wesley Treat video.

Do what you love and love what you do and you'll never be wanting for anything. My grandfather lived by that until he passed on.

I've been slacking, and am just now catching up on old videos. Such a great build Wesley!

@Mrcaffinebean 5 лет назад

It’s a testament to the awesome work you do that your customers always seem to come back for more projects.

@TimeWasted8675309 5 лет назад

Just "leaving it and pretending it was meant to be that way" is a design choice I also find myself making more times than I'd like to admit. Really love watching your creativity be expressed through these cool projects!

@davebauerart 2 года назад

Looks great! Love the modified clamp, so resourceful. Also like the tongue depressor caulk tool.

@manlymcstud8588 3 года назад

very cool, i'd like seeing this at a drive-in. i really like this retro kind of style.

@graemesmall6506 6 лет назад

Great to have you back....Your designs,methods,humour and edits are always Fab.

@davebauerart 2 года назад

Also I was just in the town down the road from the drive-in yesterday! I’ll have to stop to see the sign next time.

Unbelievably nice work, man!

@keynant 6 лет назад

Great video, as always.

@djAnakin 6 лет назад

Really diggin the design of that sign! Nice work! Also, it makes me so happy to see that even the best of us (you and some of your fellow youtubers) mess up, drop stuff, etc. I always feel so unconfident in my projects, but knowing that you guys have the same problems us plebes do makes me feel so much better! So thanks for including them in your videos, whether for that purpose, for educational reasons, or for comedic purposes.

@RiaanOliver 6 лет назад

Very well said, 100% agree with you.

@DavidPlass 6 лет назад

Totally agree too. I especially related to the part when the magnets were insufficient to hold up the cross beam, multiple times...

@dekebell3307 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing, that was incredible!

@jlibb099 6 лет назад

You are able to do such amazing work with what appears to be so little. I've watched your videos for quite some time and have seen how you are able to make tools/fixtures for much less than buying brand name items. Great work and wonderful really cool things come out of your shop. Thank you for sharing your work with the rest of the world, and most especially me!

@blindsquirrel4882 6 лет назад

Always a "Treat" to watch your videos!

@justinprewitt245 6 лет назад

Another great video and project. I always call them design characteristics. Instead of flaws. Honestly it looks amazing. You should put together a map of your work so people can see it.

@BScatterplot 6 лет назад

Great work, that sign looks incredible. One thing I'd like to point out though- I've seen an exploded angle grinder wheel go most of the way through a face shield like yours. It wasn't that exact same model, so yours might be better impact rated, but I'd always heard to wear safety glasses under those if you're doing anything with flying debris hazards- like the grinding wheel you had on your right-angle jig. Thanks again for the great video!

@RobLlewellyn1 5 лет назад

Another great video Wesley. I only found your channel a few weeks back (Google algorithm....tut) so I am binging like mad. Projects are great, presenting is great and editing is great. It's all.. great. Keep up the good work .

@tpm4life 6 лет назад

Glad your back. I would like to see how your drillpress table is setup. there's a story there.

@furrymessiah 6 лет назад

Worth the wait, as always. As an aside, are you secretly Adam Savage's long lost brother? The resemblance is uncanny.

@WesleyTreat 6 лет назад

You should contact him and investigate.

@robinlovell1617 5 лет назад

No you aren't but you're definitely not the only person surprised to hear it! I'm AMAZED that an American would reference that show (as a Brit it's no surprise over here).

@bryancoventry3673 5 лет назад

With a bit of effort , you could do a good impersonation of Groucho Marks in your voice over. Another great episode.

@clickmyface 6 лет назад

Just so you know "Ah, I pinched my nipple....I kinda liked it" at around the 5:45 mark is when I decided to pause and hit subscribe. :P

@MarkATrombley 6 лет назад

I noticed the cloth you had with your welding helmet. I use binder clips to attach a cloth to the top edge of my helmet to block light and stop reflections.

@WesleyTreat 6 лет назад

Binder clips are an oft overlooked workshop necessity.

I want to see the "making of" video with the 4 lifts of the 9' piece :) #meta :)

@barrishautomotive 4 года назад

How does this video have so few views? Your work is right on par with Adam Savage's or Jimmy Diresta's. You need a collaboration project with Jimmy or Hand Tool Rescue or Adam Booth or something.

@djtecthreat 6 лет назад

"Hey!! 3D!!" hahahaha

@123bugness 5 лет назад

You know you've welded when... you instinctively close your eyes/blink when he starts a tack. Seriously, it's a monitor....just watch it like TV, lol.

@jmlcolorado 6 лет назад

There something very satisfying about taking the hammer and with one solid blow, busting off a chuck of steel after plasma cutting. Id plasma cut all day, just so I could experience that all the time :)

@docski6559 5 лет назад

Is that for the Drive-In in Ennis?

@kingprawno 6 лет назад

Awesome project, Wesley! Quick question if you don’t mind... How do you connect up the cut ends of your LED strips where they go back on themselves? Thanks. Keep up the great work!

@WesleyTreat 6 лет назад

I solder them in parallel, one wire across the positive contacts, one across the negative.

@videogalore 5 лет назад

Love it! Genuine question, but I can see how it might not be seen as that - how do you work through how many LED's/strip might be needed based on watt output, or is it just fit as many as possible into the space?

@WesleyTreat 5 лет назад

It's mostly guessing based on experience, but I'll also test strips where I can before doing anything permanent.

@somedudeRyan 5 лет назад

"Numberwang"!?!? Where did you get to see that show, as an American? Pretty obscure over there, surely?

I laughed, I cried, I loved it. Just don't turn into AvE.

@WesleyTreat 6 лет назад

I can't promise no more dick jokes.

@Joew99001 4 года назад

Nice. Reads like a movie review, perhaps showing at the drive in? And, yeah, one word abusing bumpkin is enough.

@Belzediel 4 года назад

Hey, know this is an older video (what can I say, I lika your stuffa) but, you mentioned at the beginning of this one (the drive-in theatricatron facilities sign) that they wanted to be able to change up the items on the signs. When you assemble it, each of the facilities is in a single homogenous strip, including the arrow. Now, it's probably just me, but, if the arrow will always point the same way for the same facility, doesn't that end up being that they can change the order of the things, but not what's being pointed at? Would it not make sense to have the arrows as seperate pieces? Genuine question - I probably missed something.

@WesleyTreat 4 года назад

Making the arrows separate wouldn't really help, since the location of each facility doesn't change. But, when they add or remove facilities from the property, they can add or change out lines on the sign. (Just a few weeks after I made this, they had already added a couple new items to the sign.)

@Belzediel 4 года назад

@@WesleyTreat Ah right, that makes sense, fair play, thanks for the feedback :-)
