What did the sign say beforehand?
That does look the business BTW.

no idea. the frame was acquired a long time ago whilst emptying a building (legally!, not a scouser nicking everything). its the style used on temporary traffic signs so you can get the frames separately from the signs
something like this, bottom & top bit cut off, small bracket welded in to hold bar

I have a bit of 20mm galv bent with end boxes on the end,
2 bits in a U shape with a long bottom part, one inside other, notch cut out of one inside end box for a 25mm galv to slot in,
I'll try get a pic up when I get home.

Right angle cond box
25 mm hole through back of box
2 x 16" bits screwed into outlets
make two
piece of tube through holes in back
job done
And it unscrews for transport
Or a couple of Roughneck tri vices are very nice as an alternative

I have mase various de spoolers over the years...pics on here somewhere
made one for site work that is just a piece of 4" channel and a bit of tube welded at about 10 degrees to the horizontal
hook it onto a vertical,stud. 3x2 or 4x2
holds itself in place with friction and weight of cable on it
works every time
at a push....pair of steps and a broom handle
just reeling

At a push you dont even need the lower cross rail...just make it 'knock kneed'
