Got it from daughter Toni and I think it's pretty neat. It's made from two 1/8" sheets of plastic with letters cut out on each one. Across the top where the black bar is there are red & blue LEDs that end light the plastic, making the letters show up boldy. The black sheet laying on the table will go on the back, makes the lettering show up better. Notice the "established 1938"...the year I discovered America.  The name Stuffy was given to me years ago by a former daughter-in-law as a joke while out dining one evening in a rather pricey eatery in Winter Park. It seems to have stuck and has long since become part of my email address. I plan to hang it at the front of the garage so it's visible upon entering. I love it.  |

Thanks John, my daughter continues to surprise me after all these years. Think you might make it to Billings? |

 Great "stuff", pun intended! Very thoughtful, and it really has that old school neon sign look!

Thanks John, my daughter continues to surprise me after all these years. Think you might make it to Billings? It’s possible but I’m going to need to have a bike to make that happen. I’ve always wanted to make a western loop, time will tell. |

Very nice gift indeed. I got a HD shirt for Xmas from my oldest.  I guess I'm suppose to wear it riding with the "pack" though they might have a hard time seeing the back of it.  All three of my son's are HD owners. Oh well at least they ride. |

I can relate, my Christmas (recently received) was from Hell Fighters a used bike shop where you won't see a Valkyrie or GW often, if ever. Mostly HDs there. At least my present didn't say HD on it.

Mine came today..... all day fluffy wet snow.  Deep enough to run a snowmobile (if I had one), and biggest one in years. The gift is not the snow however, the gift is my snowblower belt broke right away in the wet snow, so I'm done for the day.  Used the back pack blower to clear for a coupe hours, but it ain't cutting it. Gonna watch the Buckeyes beat Utah again. EDIT: After that, I was out with the shovel. For 4 hours. The work is freaking hard, and the pay freaking sucks. And if that plow covers my driveway in 80lb ice cubes one more time it's going to be war.   |

That's very cool & professional job on whoever made it. That's what's called an edge lit sign. I've made a few for family as gifts and some political ones for myself but not as professional looking as yours. I usually make RGB programmable so the colors can be chosen. This is one I made for my youngest son a couple years ago when I first started making them.  |
