Attention R.E. agents: Can we borrow sign stands?

[MR LIPP]

We need to borrow approximately 12 stands for the morning of thursday 9/24 to use as breadcrumbs inside the base.
I don't need 150 cars lost in the ammunition area.
I was going to buy them, but it seems expensive for something we are going to use once a year.
contact Martin pcasdr-de@cox.net if you can help.

I put together a preliminary design to make some signs.... but I don't have any wood tools. If someone wants my design or will let me use their wood shop let me know. Need chop saw and a drill press.

Uses a 12x15 piece of masonite screwed to two 15 degree diagonal 1x1s which serve as front legs. A center straight leg with a notch to stop it from opening more than 30 degrees, serves as a single rear leg and sits between the two front legs when folded flat. A 1/4 bolt goes through all 3 legs to serve as a hinge pivot. I think the materials will cost from 20 to $30 for 12 stands. Not sure the best size for the front, I imagine using spring paper clips to hold down 8.5 x 11 (or 14) paper to white masonite with PCASDR painted on from stencil. (I don't know how to make stencil.)

Sure they could be bigger, stronger, more expensive, heavier, etc, but these are semi-disposable, easy to carry and should do the job.

Check with the PCASDR Rally chairs. We might not have 12 signs, but maybe 6-8...

Just my $.02 but couldn't we use cones( Ithink we have a few) with a sign on said plywood or masonite stuck in the hole in the cone? Kinda like the traffic control guys do that get $30.00 an hour at the ends of road construction?

Thanks, Martin replied in PM, we have signs, apparently they are being borrowed from another department
