How To Make A Sign WITHOUT A CNC!

[@deltathunderfalcon8512]

The Scroll Saw is incredible! Just the science behind mechanical energy derived from gear ratios 👏👨‍🏭

[@peggyscott2180]

Just discovered you. Live out in the country and need to do the work myself. You're a great inspiration! Thank you!

[@franciskisner920]

Beautiful job. Two ideas I have used in painting projects with multiple parts: 1. Prime the back of the large sheet before cutting out the pieces. That way, the back is already marked before the cutting. Saves a step and eliminates the possibility of flipping a small piece. 2. When painting a deep color like your black, I tint my primer. It doesn't have to be as black as the final surface. Eventually when the surface starts to wear, I don't have white primer showing through. Background: Many years ago, we owned a house with wood shingle siding that had been painted brown. It needed a complete re-coat and a painter gave us what we considered to be a fair quote to scrape, prime, and repaint. I told him I wanted the primer to be tinted very close to the finish coat because if it was not done, I was going to be able to see white in the cracks between shingles. I came home one day and he had primed the house in white. I should have just made the house white. He finished with the brown and from that day until I repainted the house myself years later, I could see white primer on every side. That convinced me to use tinted primers under strong colors.

Ugggh shame to hear about the guy not tinting it right the first time. And it wouldn't have taken nearly any extra effort, oh that's frustrating to hear. Thank-you for the painting tips from that experience, hope that helps soothe the memory a bit XD

[@Rick-the-Swift]

Ha. Great comment. Even rank amateurs can have skills that the so-called pros can only hope for. I always end up painting my own houses because every time I get quotes from pros, they usually all end up explaining what a crap job they'll end up doing if you ask enough questions. Same with carpenters, electricians, plumbers etc. HINT: most people can't afford the really good ones ;)

[@roberthardy2013]

Love the sign, especially the”Work Humble - Stay Hard” bit, I’m starting one now!

[@nickygritts2737]

stay hard lolol

[@GregoryLongs]

Been doing signs for 25+ years, very impressed at your work here. *Tip for anyone doing this type of sign: Using the same coats of paint on both sides of all pieces will help avoid future "Bowing"

[@NelsonWoodworks]

Great video! Just a tip if you open the image in Adobe reader you can print it as a poster, just chose the poster button in the print options, you’ll use less ink than with printing with paint

[@28creativewithelsquatcho9]

Thank you! I understand that cnc's make production work so much easier, but I'm tired of seeing them used for everything! Great work!

[@terristroh3965]

Your incredible patience and attention to detail amazes me. I’m not sure I could do it. BTW, Utz says he didn’t go the wrong way, he went the LONG way. Geez

[@senitacustomwoodworks9878]

Awesome! I know making that sign was labor intensive, but that is so much cooler than letting a CNC do all the work! Oh, and your 150 year old scroll saw is amazing! I think it's really cool that you're using a tool that should be in a museum! My customers are always amazed when they see my 1947 Delta drill press (that I use daily); but your scroll saw leaves me speechless.

[@TheArtofCraftsmanship]

What an amazing amount of work and craftsmanship! Awesome work Chris.

[@pascaldpr0710]

Bonjour ! Le travail est immense et très minutieux la difficulté est présente ! Quel patience !! Et c’est beau bravo !! 🇫🇷

[@jeffmansfield914]

Awesome. I love it. Thank you so much for not using a CNC on this like so many KZbin woodworkers would have. Much respect.

[@richardlaymance9984]

Chris, you are amazingly meticulous and focused. That was very nicely done.

[@clemkadiddlehopper7705]

Nice job. Did mine for signs over the coolers in a convenience store. Covered the face with aluminum roof flashing for brushed metal look. Still there after 15 years.

[@Spain42]

You are true craft”S”man . I am a huge fan. Your so kind too 😊

[@brucegibson8053]

I don't know if I'll ever make a sign, but watching you fold(?) up the ban saw blade I had to try your way. Much safer than the way I was shown before. Thanks for that.

[@cowcreekwoodduck9074]

Nice! It took a lot of patience to sand up all those little parts!

[@loganfreeman8237]

awesome work and stunning shop sign i love that it has both sides so it will swing around and turn.Just keep an eye on heavy storms not that it blow away would be a shame

[@Brave_Little_Toaster]

I commented on you using more power tools recently, and honestly I think you found a great balance. I love your skills with hand tools, and it was interesting to see a scroll saw like that be used

[@WestCoastInfluence]

That is way better than CNC! Shows true craftsmanship

[@thomasbrubaker4627]

Looks awesome! Craftsman is fitting and earned in your name.

[@furgulley8077]

Looks incredible! I admire your patience on making all those tedious cuts. You're a talented craftsman.

[@chriscastle4503]

Absolutely stunning! Blows my mind how great your stuff turns out! And being able to cut the insides out while peddling. Mine blown!

It is so enjoyable watching you work. You have a lot of patience. Great video

[@Brianscadbim]

I saw the the green scroll saw behind you at @6:40 and thought, ah he's switching over the the scroll saw now.... but then you pulled out that other scroll saw. Just a beautiful piece of equipment... as a cyclist I'd really appreciate the bonus workout as well.

[@4149dwiley]

Fabulous job. I am sure it made you feel good looking at the final piece.

[@ivancarrejo6551]

THATS SO BADASS!! GOOD JOB!!

[@rossgolledge2701]

Your videos always bring a smile to my face Chris. The production us just so wholesome and fulfilling. Please do t ever stop making these videos!

Man, even your utility knife has history! Excellent work as per usual!

[@westmittenbricks]

I loved that scroll saw! I can definitely appreciate the manual powered tools. I had memories of watching Roy Underhill on the weekends during that part. Very cool sign and a very nice touch on your woodshop! Keep up the great content!

[@juangomez6697]

Me too! Working out while WORKING 👍😁

[@brucegibson8053]

OUTSTANDING WORK!!! Love the scroll saw. Your right about the colors also!

[@christophermacier]

Looks great! Can't wait to see it hanging outside your shop.

[@MidnightMaker]

This is why I'm building a CNC... Excellent video as usual. Keep up the great work. I'm excited to see you get back into the swing of things now that the shop is wrapping up. Definitely want to see anything timber framed.

[@dessertman1181]

Your a very patient man great work all the best

[@sandrajacobson917]

Gorgeous! Your skills and patience always result in a beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

[@dennissmith5837]

That is a beautiful sign(s), am totally impressed. You made that have to make a sign. Keep making videos, I find them inspiring.

[@TWC6724]

Excellent Chris. That was a TON of work!

[@rodpotts2666]

That scroll saw surprised me, very cool.

[@bpoole99251]

Great job! If your really worried about whether you could seal it in epoxy.

[@johnbell7552]

An excellent piece of work, the sign looks very striking, very professional 👍 I would be very proud had I made it.

[@HereWeGoAgain661]

You did a really good job. simply perfect. Good luck with your new shop. Wood is a great hobby/business.

[@motor2of7]

Beautiful sign on a beautiful shop.

[@bollox57]

Absolutely brilliant to watch, loving your workshop and what you do🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍

[@BostonBorn]

That scroll saw is AMAZING! I’m in love! 😍

[@TheHomeWoodShop]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that scroll saw!!! I use the same transfer system when I paint cornhole boards. The difference being that I put Painter's tape down over the whole surface first, then use a utility knife to score through the design into the tape, then I have a custom stencil! I will have to remember that it's applicable to cutting things out too!

[@createdonthecornerstone347]

So cool, thanks for the video. Techniques lend for an excellent product and simple enough to do in a small shop like mine. Thanks for what you do.

[@kevinsorensen367]

Your quality of work is impeccable! Man forgetting the 's' shows you're human. But still impressive. A true mark of a master is making a difficult task look simple. Great job!

[@coachrr]

That scroll saw is so cool! Your skills are so cool as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@therelaxingwoodshop]

Just back from Edinburgh, Scotland and sat down with my new tipple of whiskey and watched the show.brilliant as always

[@barzalou]

Looks great. I admire your process and really respect while I tend to feel cheap by using a CNC. Good work!

[@roberthardy2013]

How the hell do you keep such lovely straight lines on the bandsaw? Mine are but the ramblings of a deranged snail in comparison,although I am still using the cheapo original blade. Great sign, makes a real difference.

[@thomasswenddal772]

From a new subscriber: I enjoyed the outcome of your labors and showing me a new trick or two doesn't hurt either. I had a peek at your video library. I really liked what I saw. All the work of hard work, humility, and I think a keen inventive eye. Got to keep you on my speed dial list for slow days especially. Thank you for all your labors, "under the sun," as Solomon might have put it.

[@cliff5240]

That is a beautiful sign and I love the scroll saw!

[@jvirgilio8880]

I have been away for a while. Went back to school and have been out of the shop. I miss you, your channel, and most importantly...Utz

[@ericmorris9660]

Fantastic job Chris!

[@joeluongo6079]

As a CNC programmer I can tell you have a lot of patience working with that bandsaw

[@alexandrypena14]

Wow, your woodworking skills are truly inspiring! I find myself often immersed in similar projects, and your video has given me a whole new level of motivation. Currently, I'm gearing up to create a rustic wood sign using wood stain for an outdoor setting. Your expertise shines through, and I'd love to hear your recommendations on sealing the wood to ensure its durability against the elements. Any tips or product suggestions you could share would be immensely helpful. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for being a great source of inspiration in the woodworking community! Im in Michigan too, and microsoft paint is my go-to!!!lol

[@SujMenon]

Yaay, with results like this, who needs a cnc, eh! The sign just looks awesome 👌 . I loved when utz ran the other way at the start of the video 🤣

[@TheHobbyShop1]

Wow that turned out awesome! 👊🏼

[@seandegroote1915]

I love this! And I love seeing something like this made this way, without a cnc. It looks great man!

Your videos are so inspiring! How you include the music, your dog, sometimes your son etc. really gives it that old fashioned family oriented feel and I think that is awesome and one of a kind. Thank you for doing what you do and keeping me inspired in the shop!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much for the kind words

[@jimrosson6702]

Looks amazing beautiful work and craftsmen ship

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful, Chris! Really amazing work! 😃 Something you could do, maybe if you ever need to fix it in anyway, is to paint it with a really thin and clear epoxy. You know? Anyway, stay safe there with your family! Utz always included! 🖖😊

[@1252PFC]

Great instructions and project. Congratulations

[@grapeape3633]

I watched this last night, but I had to come back and say that this turned out amazing! I want to make a sign like this, even though I don't really need one. 😂😂

[@BuiltKnotBought]

Beautiful looking shop and great wish as usual

[@wiseoldfool]

Love the scroll saw!

[@sapelesteve]

Fantastic work Chris! That sign turned out looking amazing. As I recall, that was your Grandfathers bit of wisdom? Nice seeing UTZ in the video! 👍👍👏👏😉😉

[@metalmouth7499]

Huge fan of the scroll saw users ...awesome job!

[@ninjaex650]

Wow! What a great looking piece! I always look forward to a Third Coast Craftsman video. Keep up the wonderful content Sir!

[@woodnotestudio]

Wow that came out so nice. You are such a great craftman!!!

[@jesusfranco4571]

Such a great a job ,I will be using this one and the other sportsman fitness sign that you did a while ago to create my own. Thanks

[@jeremylawson6648]

what a tutorial, immediate follow. Thanks again!

[@l.rod2827]

Lots of work, but it came out GREAT! Nice shop

[@OkieCraftsman]

Awesome job, Chris! Love the way it turned out.

[@anthonygee3901]

Nice to see someone do work like this the old fashioned way rather than defaulting to a CNC.

[@imperialwoodworking]

Awesome project! That antique scroll saw is amazing haha!

[@ocelliwoodworks7272]

Wow, that sign looks amazing! You're inspiring me to make one myself.

Thx for sharing the steps. Lots of work. I’ve made some smaller stuff and that took forever. Lol. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉This looks great! I am interested knowing whether you spray on a final weather coating though. Thx.

[@simonr6793]

Chris the sign turned out really awesome as usual!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

[@kanedNunable]

some impressive bandsaw skills there

Looks insane!!! Fantastic job as usual!

For that craftsman bit you earned a sub

Very nice. Love the ride you took. Too funny, but cool at the same time.

Great job. I've been making signs similar to this for years. Very impressive!!

[@patrickdukeshire3562]

That was Awesome!! Loved it. How long did it take to cut all those letters and stuff?. You have incredible patience 😁🤪.

[@brianlittle3452]

You used a mat to keep the parts being painted off the table at 11:17. What is the mat and where can one be purchased? Thanks

[@jimjak6947]

that scroll saw is awesome! great video.

[@GrizzCraftCustoms]

Wicked labor of love! Great job!

[@DaveGled]

Good lookin’ sign my friend!

[@rjwintl]

Valspar Duromax 365 (house paint) is what I used for painting my Bob-Craft Ayla 12 wooden boat … 4 coats actually had folks believing I used epoxy !!!

[@Doityourselfwithjoe]

Awesome Job!

[@ianatkinson1973]

Amazing sign also a heck of a lot of work but well worth it

[@chrisnash2154]

That was flippin’ AMAZING! Most impressive is that this was done by hand… kinda. No, you didn’t get get all Rex Kruger with hand tools. Would’ve taken years, even taking this on with the band saw is a big task and the sanding! Very labor intensive. Many woodworkers hate this part of the job, but I get the feeling, “at least for this project” it may have been therapeutic. Finally, I got a real kick out of the scroll saw. The work on that sign is very detail and honestly never considered that level of work could be done without a CNC machine but the truth is this is exactly how it was done before CNC machines. I do have one question though and that is how long did this project take?

[@TheSuburbanGarageWorkshop]

Looks great! You've inspired me to build a sign to hang on the wall in the background for my channel!

[@lynxg4641]

The sign(s) turned out fantastic! Well now, colour me pleasantly surprised in this age of so much click bait BS on YT, you absolutely, 100% delivered, no BS. Great to see stuff to remind people that before all the fancy tools, computer aided design and CNCs, things got done and done well, by hand with hand tools. BTW, as a cyclist and woodworker, I'd kill to get that pedal powered scroll saw from you :-) LOL

[@concepcionortiz2898]

Nice work! What bandsaw blade were you using for your second set of cuts?
