That looks amazing. I definitely need to give that a go.

Beautiful job. Be sure and tell your customer to stick painters' tape across the back covering the hangers. Poke holes in the tape to mark the place for screws from which to hang the sign. Remove the tape, place it on the wall beneath a level for straightness and prepunched holes mark the exact spot to drive the hanging screws.

Very cool! I appreciate the carbon paper idea! FYI...a butane culinary torch (micro-torch) has a much finer flame tip to get into narrow areas and tight corners. I use one with "Sportula" grill spatulas to torch sports team logos into wood cutting and charcuterie boards. Harbor Freight has them for under $15 and they are refillable. Thanks for the video!
@dalesmith79548 ай бұрын
Damn using the Sportula to torch logos is such a great idea! Thank you for mentioning it, I will definitely use that idea.

to transfer the print to the wood can be easier! Print on a laserprinter the sign back-to-front, put ist downward on the wood and fix it with tape on one side. Now heat the paper with an plating iron und pull it up immediatly after plating, but be carefully. this is an amazing transfer!!!!

I use a keyhole router bit to make the hanger holes on the back. It just goes so well with the routered lettering. Lovely job! You did amazing 🫶🏻🇨🇦
@ericgustin33867 ай бұрын
very nice. but it looked better and more authentic before you spray painted the letters. looked like it would if it was actually branded with an iron. when you painted it, it just looked recessed. its still nice, but the imperfect edges of the hot iron branding made it look way better imho.

Very nice sign and descriptive video. I've been on the fence on considering to purchase a CNC, but this technique is within my realm and I already have all these tools, plus much cheaper. Thank you
@elmoblatch9787 Жыл бұрын
I usually skip the carbon tracing and just blast through the paper. I like the idea of blackening with the torch for that texture. I usually do the black paint, but the combination works well. Nice. I agree that the spray is easier, but it's more expensive. Gorgeous sign.

@earlclaus151810 ай бұрын
Awesome video! If anyone's waiting on your CNC router build to be finished, you can also use a projector for your wood templates. I use this technique for murals. 1. Create your design on a computer using The Gimp. Udemy has classes on how to use it. 2. Connect the computer to a projector. An old used one is fine as long as you can get a crisp image in focus.. 3. Project the design directly onto the wood. In your design, have 3 dots in a right-triangular form about the image to act as registration marks. 4. Trace the design with a pencil or chalk. Trace the registration marks FIRST, onto the surface. Whenever you set back up the rig for multiple design sessions, you can use these registration marks to line up angles, focus, and distance of the projected image. This skips the need for paper or toner, and you can easily adjust the size and focus of the design. It's a neat workaround until your CNC is up and running. 5. Painting. If your projected image is in color, you can create your design in the actual colors you have on hand on your paint bench/shelf. Then, you can project the image and use your favorite paints and paint brushes to paint your carved image. From my point of view this is no different than then murals I used to do. I am totally looking forward to using this technique when we make signs for Happy House Homestead.

Great idea with the projector Earl, but I'd use Inkscape (free open source) it's vector graphic software like Adobe Illustrator. Gimp would be more like photoshop.

Great looking sign. When you started burning the lettering in I was thinking you were really about t mess it up. lol. I like the look of the bark left on the edges. Wood signs done by hand with a router in my opinion beat those done by a machine. Slight imperfections make for a more natural look and have more soul and heart. Only thing I might have done differently is using a jig saw cut some random shapes on the ends of the sign and burned the edges in a bit. Maybe make it look like it was just and old board that had been out in the weather for a while and some the wood had rotted off at the ends. Wouldn't really have made it any better, just what I might have done.
