How to Freehand carve a wood sign with a router start to finish

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Carving with a router isn't really hard, it just takes some practice and the right bits! This is more a watch me work video to show you guys how easy it can be and we will do more in depth video's in the near future describing things and going into more detail on how we do it... You are really only limited by your imagination tho! 👍 Any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments below!!!

Can you tell me the purpose of flaming the letter before spraying the paint? Thanks for the video

[@wvhopkins]

I have one question. Why did you torch the recesses for the lettering before spray painting them? Was that for additional weather proofing? I like the video, by the way. Thanks.

[@brucea550]

I’m guessing it’s to get rid of any bits of chips or dust that would later fall away and leave white flecks in the black lettering?

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

Hi Walter, Bruce A hit the nail on the head with his response, I torch the letters after I carve them because it gets rid of any of the little fuzzies that may be left behind from routing... It really does do a great job of cleaning them out before either filling with resin, ink or paint... It's just one of those things that I have always done to make life easier on myself 😃 You ever have any more questions feel free to ask, I'm always happy to help when I can!

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

100% correct Bruce! it works great too, totally get's rid of all the little fuzzies in a hurry!

yo knotty where do you get your wood thanks

[@chrisarredondo8673]

How were the guides made

[@melaniel5865]

Was that a homemade router holder?

Why u stop posting sign making content?

[@brucea550]

Lousy as I am at doing that with a router it would end up saying ‘Ginny’s Garbage’!

[@KnottHeadCustomSawingFabWorx]

LMAO... They didn't look all that good when I started doing them way back when either... Just takes a lot of practice... and using a fine point to line them out makes it easier too, then I go back and clean out the field with a bigger bit... I'm working on another in depth video, more of a "how to" that I will get posted as soon as I get it done... Keep an eye out for it...
