Signage

Just because The Fuzz is back in the Woods, don't think he hasn't been busy.
With His Sweetie involved with some Vegan Food People these days, there was a request for some signage to be used on a roadside stand.  As The Fuzz says, "I can do that, let me get my tools!"
They picked up a few small boards at that infamous Home Improvement Store, and then grabbed some old paneling that Our Fuzz had been saving for years- and of course, never used.
These signs were to be of the folding portable type.  Of course Our Ingenious Fuzz had a plan.  That plan evolved over the course of the project.

Here's a look at the set- as yet unpainted.  The Numbers indicate the order of construction, and evolution.

The first one was knocked out pretty quickly.  But The Fuzz saw an opportunity for improvement.  This design was quick and easy, but a potential weak point was discovered.  Relying on this thin (and quite old) panel to hold everything together did not seem like a good idea to Our Careful Fuzz.  So he went with a major redesign on #2.

Here the joint was lapped to provide a bit more strength.  While he was in such a creative mood, The Fuzz thought it might be cool to add a handle.

This proved to be a lot of extra work.  And he does not recommend it.  It is completely unnecessary, and adds a lot of complication to the assembly of the thing.

There was also a problem due to the cheap-ass wood warping up.  The Fuzz tried glue, but ultimately was forced to add some screws to hold things in shape.
He dropped the handle on the last two.  His favorite was #4.  There were some bad spots in these last pieces of panel, so it is just a little bit smaller.  As a result, it just looks cool.
