VMK on a WDW Billboard... Forever!

[Tampa]

Would it surprise you to know that I build for a living too?

Right now I'm working for a company that builds and installs billboards. My job is in the shop, fabricating and welding all the pieces that would eventually be stuck in the ground, assembled, and bolted by our crane crew.

Our current billboard being made is for the customer account, Lake Buena Vista! I believe someone said it will be "flown" (errected) somewhere in the Vacation Club area. So with the brilliant idea of my buddy KingOfMermaids, we found a way to make VMK and The VMK MasterMinds team last forever, ON DISNEY PROPERTY!

the clamp looking thing is the negative ground cable to my welding machine and the signature reading "VMK -MM-" has been written with the same machine. For you blue collar buffs.. I used .045 flux-core wire with argon shielding.


You'll never see this welded signature as it will be very high up in the air, but now you'll be able to wonder during your venture into WDW, "I wonder if that's the VMK billboard"?

LOL.. Nah.. I had the machine on 31 volts and the wire speed blazing.. I like to travel my hand fast! I should've turned down the heat for a bit more bulge, but I tell you what bubba.. that plate to the left aint going no where!

You had me wishing I could go on the job and sign something closer to the base of the pole with that post! But then again.. road work is lame.

Thanks all for the cool comments.. it makes it that much more fun yaay whee!
