Nothing but respect for this sign maker!
I believe his name is Tom, he has such an incredible talent. Ive never seen anything like this I'm near 70. Also I see he's a very hard worker, I admire that. All the best to him
Tom is a dying breed. a man who loves his craft and is happy to show it off. I wish all the best for him and his family. definitely hard working
I am blown away on how much the neon changes the look of just a normal sign, Pete you will do well on this experiment, keep us up to date on how they sell.
Loved the vid, signs are great. Love the PACK
The signs look great. You guys are creating excellent shows. Great production. Great editing and flow. When you do trips like this one, it really shows how good your filming/editing has become.
Back in the 1950's, my father used to create neon signs. Thank you for the memories... It's not easy.
It’s definitely a lost art. Signmaking in general has become so cookie-cutter, that when you see something so visually attractive, you can’t help but stare at it for hours!
Neon is just incredible for the “wow factor.”
Love them all!, what a great idea. Not the clock one though, it's such a beautiful clock, neon is a big clash for me. That shop was amazing!, thanks. Adrian ☘️
Not often you get to meet a master of their craft. Pretty awesome.
Chicago is filled with so many great people and for a big city you would think people are rude and in a rush but they’re mostly all super patient and friendly people. I love it
Packers are my pick, especially after living in Wisconsin my whole life and being a shareholder. I would buy that Packer neon in a heartbeat!!!
I love the old neon signs. My son-in-law had a neon shop and I loved seeing the finished product after these old signs were repaired. Unfortunately it is a dying art that in my opinion should still be totally alive. It’s so beautiful to see an old neon sign being brought back to life. Those mass produced imported signs do not hold a candle to true art and individuality. An Iowa fan here.
It’s a good morning when you wake up and Pete’s put a video up
The green bay sign looked best in my opinion
That is definitely the coolest shop i ever seen. Neon sign are so cool and awesome to look at especially at night.
Seeing another shop you appreciate how valuable the camera man is to the channel
In another life I’d love to pay this guy to apprentice under him and learn the trade. Really awesome
A neon Blackhawks emblem would look awesome with all the different colors.
Brings back memories! I used to install undercar neon kits late 90’s, they wud light up the entire street around the car almost looked like a spaceship! Good stuff Pete!!
Peter, I love how you're in such a hard and cut-throat industry, but you're always so enthusiastic and spreading positive vibes. It really shows what a great person you are, and I personally think you're such an awesome person and I love your channel. So cool how you visited his neon shop and spread some love, I think in the future you should visit other shops and colllab. The neon's are awesome! Please don't ever change man!
Ohhh I agree . It just shows thru . You know when you see a bad evil person you can tell .... & just the opposite with Peter & I have a lot of respect for that .
😱 That Prince symbol though!! 💜
I wish I could afford something like that! 😭
That’s pretty special and Princes kind of style too
All 3 Neon signs came out great. Thank you for the tour of the Neon Shop which is a dying trade these days glad he is keeping them going. My brother in law had a Sign Shop in NYC and his signs were seen around the world he made the Numbers on top of time square that you see every New Years 2024. His shop has been making them for the past 10 years.
Being a Die Hard Green Bay Packer fan from Wisconsin, I'm glad you asked at the end of the video what's everyone's favorite neon sign.....
GO PACKERS!
🏈🏈🏈
The mobile one I like the most, the colour red in the middle together with that blue neon looks stunning!
Love this channel btw, it's got to be the most chill channel on the platform!
I'm always blown away at the look of an old-school neon sign. I remember a lot of them from my childhood, slowly disappearing and being replaced with modern stuff. It was a depressing time in 1985 to see this happened.
I just love how creative and enthusiastic you are about your business! Keep it up!🙋🏼♀️
Albsolutly gorgeous, I love all of them.
Hey Pete, I’ve really enjoyed seeing your creative sign ideas come to life in beautiful neon. Years ago, when my brother started his business, I had a custom “motion-neon” sign created for his grand opening. He’s in the auto repair industry, and the lighted sign I gifted to him is of a mechanic popping open the hood of a smoking car.
The sign became so very popular in the area that his customers always insist on taking photos in front of it, and believe it or not, it’s been featured on a “Best Of…” list in the city, leading to a positive increase in his business. Generally, people hate auto mechanics and stereotypically assume that they’re going to get ripped off when having their car repaired, but having this novel-looking sign out front has been a goodwill gesture to the community, and he’s earned a lot of praise for it…
So I was glad it’s helped his business flourish for the past 19 years, same location.
The guy that does the neon came across as a very humble kind of guy,it’s sad that when his generation passes these art forms will be lost , really enjoyed this,good luck with the project Pete 👍from England.
Signs came out great!!! I like the candy rolls one the best!!😊
Hi Honey!!🐱 Hi Ruby!!🦜
I like all of your Sign Collection but I like the Simplistic Design of the Walgreens Sign the best it really makes the Sign Pop!. When I was a boy my big sister dated a Neon Artist, he taught me how to blow and bend glass but then they ended their relationship and I never saw Tony again. Neon its getting to be a Lost Art but hopefully one of your younger viewers will be so thrilled with what they saw here that they'll take up the Art of Neon for Future Generations to enjoy too. I also worked in a Pawn Shop and your videos reminds me of all the Fun Times I had at Traders Pawn in 1979
I'll say it again, Peter's the Bob Vila of Resale. Love it. Way cool.
Good one
Who is Bob Vila?
@@ivydickson7596this old house, a home improvement show from mainly the 80s and 90s
4:20 friendly! gentle pat for sweet Honey-kitty🥰
neon makes beautiful colors that no LED can ever recreate. I love your signs!
Pete, I've lived in the county ALL my life, what you call the SUBURBAN,
I CALL CITY!!! Now your cabin thats what I call
GOOD LIVING !!!
BEST WISHES,
IN LIFE. LOVE THE CHANNEL AND CONTENT.
WE NEED MORE CONTENT!!!!😊😊
The Packers sign looks fantastic! 🥰🇨🇦
I was afraid you were going to fall when you started walking backward with the signs! They are gorgeous! Love the shop and the sweet owner.
I love the candy sign!! He does amazing work. For some reason when you mentioned the sign with the license plates, I thought the light would come from behind the middle plate. Guess I didn't understand your concept. :) Thanks for this.
I LOVE neon! So happy you're keeping it alive!
Light up that 420 so we can be lit!
The Mobilgas sign is great, almost psychedelic.
Your signs grab one's attention which is most important. Well done!
All the signs are cool but my favourite one is the Candy rolls, I'd love that one. Its a great idea to put neons on various items..
All the signs are fantastic.
Like them all Peter.
Vote of thanks to Tom - fantastic Tradesman.
Dying trade.
i love the prince sign thats a masterpiece
The candy neon sign is dope. All three are. Can't go wrong with neon. Very cool way to spruce up some items.
Always a good night when you upload, keep it up!
We need more up loads EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!😊
The Candy Sign 100%
I really like your signs. Can’t go wrong with real neon
Hello craigslist Hunter that was awesome. I love neon lights probably my favorite would have to be the Walgreens that’s pretty cool looking. Would like to see more of your ideas eventually with the neon sign I enjoy your videos and thank you
Mad Respect To Both Of You Gentleman!! Great Idea Pete!! Hope You 2 Make A lot Of Money At This New Adventure!!
How cool that you are doing the neon creations Pete!
4/20 needs to go on a 4/20 themed clock. And was really cool to see the neon shop. Totally a unique and unfortunately dying art.
All of the sigbs came out wonderful! #1 candy rolls, very close #2 the Mobil gas and #3 Green Bay. But great creativity! 👌
I love the signs, I am the owner of a vintage Grolsch neon and love it!
The Candy Rolls (Walgreens) sign is my favorite, definitely has a really nice vintage look to it.
The signs look great , love the old Walgreens sign. You must visit the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas for some fun inspiration.
I was thinking of making some steampunk lamps, and the same day I got the idea YOU posted the video of the same idea! LOL! Awesome signs you have, too! Maybe signs from the 1990’s mounted on wood or metal would look good back-lit. The old stuff looks better with neon exposed in the foreground. Just my opinion.
Dats sum good ole craftsmanship and creativity! Jobe well done.
I am excited that you went there. When I saw your video back at the beginning of January I called your shop right up and you were busy Peter. You in that video were not sure where to get neons repaired and I talk to I think Ryan and told him to let you know about this place and sent you email. Looks like you indeed checked it out. First time I went there I was amazed.
Love the neon!! Sadly, we had an Assistant store leader that threw away our neon beer signs from our company, without a clue what they were worth. She no longer works for our company.
Love your videos Pete!!
My clock stopped at 420 what you want me to say i stay blazed all day
Always loved neon signs. Super nostalgic! You got some pretty sweet ones
I love the signs!! I love the vintage candy sign! They are all beautiful❤
Amazing artisan. Sad seeing that skill disappear like so many others.
It’s a dying art for sure, but believe it or not, there are “glassblowers” and benders that’ve learned it via RUclips videos.
We have a local guy in town that runs a shop with 3 guys, making it commercially viable…but yes - expensive as hell for their custom work…
You’ve definitely got to “pay to play” for their artistry…
HI Pete! Looks awesome! Love the Neon signs. My Fav is the Vintage Green Bay Packers Neon Sign.
A dieing art !!!!
Your neon creations came out really cool. I cannot wait to see the railroad crossing one done. Those reflective pieces will look really cool.
I think the Walgreens sign far and away came out the best. The neon looks like it was part of the original design and it enhances the sign and the colors blended perfectly. Fantastic!!! The other two, in my opinion, looked like neon on top of a sign as an afterthought. I wasn’t much impressed by them. The Packers was ok but the sign was so faded and muted that the neon didn’t really blend well. It didn’t light it up. Again it looked like an afterthought. A strip of neon put on top of an old faded sign. Just my opinion. But I would definitely buy the Walgreens sign if I was local.
They look great Pete!
Thanks for keeping those treasures alive
I was born in the late 60s ,I always loved neon, so sad to see it gone in the cities to be replaced by pixels. I also had an old Miller sign in the 70s when I was 10 , we owned a deli ) even tho it shocked me every once in awhile. Wish I still had it
Hey Peter, I really loved the idea of putting neon on these old, rustic signs! My favorite is the Mobil sign with the old license plates, so perfect! God's Blessings on you and your Family! Stay safe on your journey!😊
The signs look just super! I love 'em very much. :)
420 friendly love it lol
The Green Bay Packers sign is awesome. I am a big Packers fan!
That's awesome. Thank you Pete for a look down memory lane 😊
I’m a Bills fan but that Packers one is sick. 👍👍You could tell Tom loves what he does.
i truly love all 3 signs they truly came to life with the little neon way to go you have something going here i would stick with it as many people are looking for these type items as there old new with just that little touch of neon way to go my guy!!!!
Dude that ninja 🐢 sign is so cool!😊
They turned out great! Good to hear from you again 😀
Pete,
Hell yes those signs are killer. My favorite is the yellow. Cheers
cool luv the neon, not a Green Bay fan but it looks great! I really can not wait to see the steampunk neon projects!
Your creations look fantastic Peter!!!! Terrific ideas buddy, keep em coming my friend!!!!!!
Cool neon shop. 😎💚❤❤
This episode reminded me of one of my favorite educational shows, 'A Craftsman's Legacy with Eric Gorges'. Very interesting look inside a rare shop. Thank you for sharing!
Neon was always something that looked nice to me. Especially on the street outside
I loved the Georgia Green Bay Packers sign the most
They look awesome
LOVE the Green Bay Packers sign!! Go Pack Go! Very awesome idea!
LOTS OF COOL SDIGNS!
Wow. How cool. I just love neon.. Such a lost art.
Those signs look great! The Mobile 1 is my favorite!
he’s an amazing artist. incredible.
Really cool to see other small businesses in your area - the signs look fantastic
LOVE the VEGAS sign
The signs came out great Pete. Love the Walgreens sign!
It’s hard work and dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. He’s a great artist.
I think it's a smart idea Pete, you'll appeal to a much broader demographic this way. Sign guys, subject matter guy's, neon guys, art guy's, vintage guys, etc. Neon seems to be making a big comeback and you can tell with how much business this guy's doing.
I’d bet he’s the ONLY game in town…
It definitely seems like he could use some well-qualified or easily trained employees, though…
I had my doubts when i first heard of your idea but they all came out great. The candy sign is my favorite.
Love the way they came out I’m not even a Green Bay fan but I would hang it up!!!!!😂
I think all the signs look cool - I suspect they won't be around for long. Also good to see you out and about, thanks Peter
I liked how they turned out….. great job Pete
what a cool shop. Will definitely have to visit.
The railroad crossing sign would look good with neon
