This is not exactly a sign, but it uses a lot of the same construction methods we use here in the shop – it’s a giant code wheel designed and built by Mythbusters’ Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. They used MDF board and Cintra for the wheel sections and black cut vinyl for the letters. I’m impressed with the effort it probably took to line everything  up properly.

Adam and Jamie are now auctioning the beast off with proceeds benefitting the Electronic Freedom Foundation (a very worthy cause).

There’s a video of the thing in action here.
