Framed PE Cert?

[MechE_in_PA_PE]

So having received my PE cert recently, I'm thinking about framing it with some extra goodies (pencil, maybe calculator) and also having just received my seal and stamp, I was thinking about somehow incorporating them into my framed cert as well.

Has anyone done this before?

Also PA has a separate license that says to "display prominently"...anyone do a fancy framing job on this?...I'm thinking just a simple frame for now.

Discussed at great lengths good sir. Have a look below.

Yes thank you both, I've seen many of those great frame jobs, but....

My specific question is on incorporating an example of your seal/stamp as part of the certificate display.

Or if folks did anything fancy with their license (maybe not every state has this, but in PA we have a nice certificate, and a pink and blue license which is the official state document that is to be displayed prominently)

Ok, So I decided not to incorporate my seal / stamp and instead just opted for the pencil and calculator.

Many thanks to ptatohed, DanHalen, and the Worley exhibit for the ideas.

Started with $20 diploma / photo frame from Micheal's and cut out around the photo frame so the calculator would fit:

Then I cut out a space in the back so that the back could sit flush in the frame and have room for the shadow box

I then cut out two pieces of foam board to build the shadow box:

Building the shadow box:

I used a 10-24 nut and washer and longer wood screws to bump out the frame hook.

And a simple $5.00 frame for the license:

Well done MechE! Thanks for sharing the photos and your detailed process. :thumbs:

That's awesome Mech. Great work, and thanks for sharing.

That looks awesome! I opted for the simple frame but would be willing to send you my stuff to do mine! Haha
