What thickness steel do you use for wall art?
Just wondering what you all use mostly for simple, one piece, wall art. Stuff like the words: FAMILY, COFFEE, LAUNDRY, outlines of cars, names, big letters for last names, you know, simple signs that hang on interior, homeowner, customers walls.
I think I'm the oldest 10 year old boy on the forum...

Anywhere between 14 ga and 20 ga depending on what it is and what I am putting on the table...... Also choose either A1011 mild, SS or Alum......

Mostly 12. 16 for some things. For every 4 sheets of 12ga I order, I get 1 sheet of 16.
