Great how to Tom. It never crossed my mind to Dremel out a groove for the wiring.

Curt,

Thank you, much appreciated. Dario came up with a great idea with the grove on a wood dowel.

I decided to make a channel/river sign that was unattached to either dock.

I cut two 1/8" dowels to 14 HO scale feet in length.



I stained them by sticking them on the tip of a #11 blade.

I then dipped the dowel into a jar of Hunterline Medium Brown A&I.





I then set them on a paper towel to dry.

For the sake of time now, I'll fast forward a bit.

I glued a few 1X4s edge to edge and then glued the yellow sign on the 1X4s, then glued the sign to the two posts.

I spread some white glue on the backs of the Flying A and No Wake signs and set aside to dry. The dried glue stiffens the signs. When dry, I glued them to the front of the posts. I still need to weather the signs.





More in a few.
