Materials Needed to Make the DIY Metal Sign
- Corrugated steel metal roofing
- ¾” plywood – cut to the desired size
- Tin Snips
- Work gloves
- ¾” spax screws
- Sharpie
- Stain of your choice. I used Carbon Gray
- Finish sander with 220 grit sandpaper
How to Make the Custom Corrugated Metal Sign
- Start by cutting the corrugated metal sheet to the desired size using the tin snips. Be sure to wear protective work gloves because the metal is really sharp.
- Cut the ¾” plywood to size and stain it. I cut it to 2″ wider than the corrugated metal on all sides.
- Create a distressed look on the corners by running a sander along the edges and corners.
- Screw the metal sheet into the plywood using the ¾” Spax screws. I love these screws! I didn’t have to predrill at all!
- Write your word onto the Metal using the black Sharpie. I printed “WORKSHOP” in 300 point, cut out each letter to create a stencil and filled it in with the Sharpie.
That’s it!
I can’ stop staring at those distressed edges combined with the industrial metal! 
Now I just have to get everything out of boxes and onto the pegboard and in those cabinets!
I am dreaming of an organized workshop! Soon….very soon….
