Tripod for the Display SignWith the display sign complete, it's time to build a tripod so you can stand the sign up next to the car. For our sign, the best length for supports is about two feet.
- Clamp the angle aluminum to a worktable and use a hacksaw to cut it to length.
- Once the lengths are cut, notch out a one-inch tab on the end of each piece. Then drill a hole into each end of the notched pieces.
- Use bolts to connect all three pieces together. Use vice grips, clamping them together below the bolt.
- Bend the two outer legs of the tripod out, and line them up with the bolt holes on the sign (figure G).
- Mark where the bolts are and drill holes into the tripod legs and top. Now it's all ready to assemble.
Remove the bolts from the sign, and line the tripod up with the bolt holes.Reinsert the bolts through the legs and the sign.Stand the sign up to check for proper support (figure H).
