I come to beseech the gods of /diy/ for help.
Years ago I saw something online, a method of denting the pickets of metal fences in a pattern that made text, so that it was visible when viewed at an angle but just looked like a normal fence when viewed head-on. I have a real estate project it would be perfect for, but I need an example to show the owners. Google and Pinterest have fallen through. /diy/ is my best idea, I would appreciate any leads or advice if any of you happen to know where I could find a couple of snapshots, or better yet, a service that does this kind of fencing.
In tribute, I'll be dumping some random cool art/gadgets/projects.
Help me, /diy/, you're my only hope.

Can't help you op but I'm going to lurk this thread, sounds like a cool idea.

You talk like a drug-addled redditor. Chill with the meme-tasticness.
The first thing you should know is that this is a slow board, and a bump should happen if you don't get answers for like two or three days (check the numbers in the corners and the catalog).
Some people lurk the general questions / qtddtot threads more than the rest of the board, so if it's one obscure question, it's worth asking there.

Something like this but with dents?
Should be pretty easy to make all you need is one of those old school projectors (that use the transparent sheets and over a light box) draw the pattern you want on the sheet and project it onto the fence at the angle you would want to see it at (the placement of the projector would be where the image would come together if you were standing there) then you just mark on the fence where the image is projected to put the 'dents' take away the projector and dent the marks you made.

Yes, thanks! That's basically what I'm looking for, just with controlled dents that spell out text. This is helpful, though, thanks!

No worries, just googled perspective fence art/graffiti

>doing this on a forklift in menards. Besides the 2 we had snow buckets on, and 1 with a snow tire.
We moved stupid amounts of snow with our outside lifts.

It was funny moving home from Boston, where a walk around the block I lived on you'd find three or four people who privately owned snow plows.
