That sign looks awesome.
Should you be using waterproof electrical boxes for those lights since it's outdoors? I would think the slots in the covers would allow moisture in.

I don't disagree on the boxes, the owner installed so I don't have much say LOL...
The lights I posted a pic a while ago. I beat them with a hammer then flat clear coated, spots I hit with a torch to discolor a bit.
The pulley for the lights matches the pic of the chandelier I made for them.
They have a big chandelier and 2 lights, 2nd smaller chandelier for a table should be getting installed this week, hoping I get a pic of it soon.
Thanks for the replies..
