Only temporarily. I needed work between gigs. I signed up to drive the truck, but they found I had a good eye for it, so I got pulled into the production. Hated it. Fascinating to watch, but not my thing.
Oh I loved it. Working in Ctrl FL where theme parks are I did some real high end stuff and was told by others I was the best. I was also self employed for a while doing wholesale to the trade so I did everything from ordering materials to drawing neon patterns, the metal fab, wiring, painting, assembly. I’ve probably built 10,000+ channel letters. Plenty of custom cabinets.
