HI Troy,

Sondra likes the light and we are still a way from finishing it. As to what happens then, don't know..... Will probably stand in the back yard for a long while acting as a lighted signal and pee post for the dogs.

Cheers!

Looks nice Keith, does Joe have street sign's at the junk lot?? Maybe you could at least get some sign's from the general area that the signal saw service.

Hi Mark,

Asked Joe and looked around the junk lot today. No old street signs from either end of the block. :sad:

We do have a pair of Main Street and First Street steel embossed signs with the bracket and the plan is to repaint white with black lettering for the top of the post. :grin:

Cheers!

Hiya Folks,

Came from running errands and found this waiting on the front porch.

Thank you Jay (Crunge98). :grin:

We will mount this to the monster after repainting.

Cheers!

Hi Folks,

Been posting on the new site and thought I would update this tread since it will be archived soon.

Have since stripped the paint from the control box.

We had some extra ornamental CH "T's" that are used for conduit and attached to the conduit hubs for the control box.
Temporarily set the box up to make sure everything fit. Used a 1-1/8 inch hole cutter and threaded holes in the post with a NPT 1-1/4 inch tap to hole the closed nipples for the "T's."
This is the bottom fitting.

Top fitting.

Control box temporarily installed.

After making sure everything fit, took the mounts and box apart for painting.
Filled a bunch bolt holes in the box and primer painted.

This will sit for a couple of days before the green finish paint is applied.

Cheers!

Crouse Hinds made some "L" brackets that fit between the box and those hubs using the same bolt holes. If I were mounting that box in a public place, I would use likely use those brackets along with Band-It to secure the controller box to the pole well enough to make it people-proof. Your way is a lot prettier though! There were also cork hub gaskets to keep out the rain.

I guess I need to get my butt over to the new forum. Not much happening here these days.

Hi Vaughn,

Jay sent the brackets with the box. I am not using the brackets with band-it material. Don't think it would look very good on this decorative post. Besides, this light setup is a yard ornament.
Did cut some rubber gaskets for the hubs from material we had around here.

Cheers!

Hi Jay,

Plan to use the rear board. Have it already primed for paint. Will use it to mount the terminal strip and the electronic sequencer. As to the bracket mounts, they are sitting with all the other brackets and flat metal we have. Usually never toss anything like that for it could come in handy on a later project or repair.

Cheers!
