The cross is especially eye-catching after dark. Maybe it will get the attention of some non church going passers-by to want to stop in! Wonderful work! My church has one also, but indoor.

Don’t let my pastor see this! He’s gonna want me to build one. Nice cross work.

How I attached to building? I took a lag and cut off the head and welded to a short piece of threaded rod. I also took a flange with a short piece of thread rod to attach to cross. Then used a coupling to connect the two (times three points on the cross). I will delete one of my photos and try to add the mounting hardware. The great thing was the alignment, with the offset it gave me a way to adjust centers quick and easy.
