Materials:
       Available from computer stores.  These are meant for computer cases but will run on any 12V DC source.  They produce no heat and last forever.  I get mine on eBay from all_city.

Build box from plywood.  Add in recessed lip to support plastic front supported with screws from the outside.

Stick the letters to the plastic front.  Spray paint the entire piece black.  Let this dry for at least 24 hours.  CAREFULLY peel off letters revealing the sign.

Cover back of sign with wax paper so the insides of the light aren't visible.

Drill holes to secure the front to the box. By using screws this will be removable for maintenance.

Cut corner trim on 45* angle to cover seams.  Attach the trim on the side with screws so it can be removed for maintenance.

  Use metal brackets to hang the sign.
