How do you cut the plate pieces so evenly?

[@tinahale1471]

Hey Tina, whether the license plate signs, or something in one of my future videos.. I'm sure you will be able to find something you and your daughter can make. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisreynolds2410]

Are you open to suggestions?

[@wesleybrabant3595]

That's beautiful. Where did you get all the plate pieces from. Nice work

[@DavidTaylor-ki2ir]

Junk yards often take cars in with the plates still on. Develop a good relationship with a shop and you can buy all they bring in.

Sweet! Where did you finde the weed spacers?

Beautifull Project. do you sale letters?

I wish we were neighbors

[@bubrebel9252]

What size brad nails do you use and what psi on the compressor?

[@jennifergarfield9613]

1:33 What kind of cutter do you use.? Thank you.

[@dhduncan]

What width are you cutting the letters and numbers?

[@christined.3728]

So you also poly the front sides? And do you only use the big tin snips for cutting the plates or do you use other tools, too? I think they look great!

[@southernbalance4221]

Hello Christine, I do not poly the front, only the back. But I also Kilz and paint under the plates to seal it incase a customer uses it outside. I usually use long hand snips that cut straight.

[@chrisreynolds2410]

You must have a killer handshake

[@kdsrbaldwin4621]

Did you cut all of those plates by hand or did you use a band saw?

[@nicholastarantino5567]

where do you get all the license plates

[@therustyduck5400]

Awesome video, what kind of tool do you use to cut the plates, there is now way you use tin snips. Band saw?

[@southernbalance4221]

Tin snips work fine, but I draw a straight line down it with a pencil and a speed square.

[@hsprague77]

Why not stain first before placing the letters?

[@PawPawKellum]

Where does one, legally, obtain bulk license plates?

[@billygoatracer]

Ebay or the flea market

[@mkw36]

Are you using a brad nailer or a pin nailer? Thanks

[@southernbalance4221]

Hello mkw36, I'm using a brad nailer. But you can use either, as long as what you're shooting in is short enough and doesn't come out of the back side of the wood you're using. I'll be doing a similar build very soon, its just hard to find the time to film being I work everyday. But stay tuned, you'll see some good future content.

[@wesleybrabant3595]

What size pin nails you use without blowing through

[@dennisg11348]

Nice! What color is the stain

[@southernbalance4221]

I use all different colors, I don't remember what color I used in the video. Any and all colors look great. You can't go wrong, just experiment.

[@geraldbrasington3004]

Where do you get so many license plates.

[@southernbalance4221]

I'm at the point that people bring them to me knowing I will buy them.

[@chrisreynolds2410]

If you get back to me tonight and we come to an agreement I’m willing to go out and get as many as say 75-100 tonight and prepared to go as low as $5-$7 per plate. I’m talking about nice plates mew issues no old rusty stuff. I will acquire vanity plates for $10 for you. Hurry we still got time before the sun comes up. Do you have cashapporvenmo?

[@chrisreynolds2410]

Ok. I problem. I just got bailed out of the police station….but I have some plates still stashed. Want them…at this point I take $4 each if you take them all.

[@S30Uploads]

Hahahahha its 420 somewhere

[@yahkissa5794]

Can I buy some letters off you ? I need a o,x,m,a

[@shantaymadison5581]

I am sure it could be improved. Check out the plans on the WoodPrix website.
