Making a 3D Sign

[@JudiChristopher]

BEAUTIFUL one of these day... I'll be able to afford a Professional Sign like this... wait and see...

[@littlefarmerisaac7675]

That’s on a whole other level of I’ll never be able to do it myself. Magnificent

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you 😊

[@JudiChristopher]

I'm confused... This SIGN is absolutely BEAUTIFUL... but it does NOT Tell me what it means What is this sign for?

[@horizontal1072]

This is the most beautiful thing I have seen. Guilded crafts are so underrated. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for allowing me to take this visual journey. Wow...

[@erikwinkler]

Wow that is nice to read, thank you

[@JudiChristopher]

2;33 What is that made of?

[@erikwinkler]

Different kind of woods

[@Como.vejo.o.mundo-7]

What a spectacle this work of art. Very good. Congratulations!

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you

[@haroldbartley5970]

Beautiful sign! The effect the of the sandblasting looked wonderful. I had a customer who wanted the look of old cedar without paying for cedar, so I used a wire wheel and drill to get a similar effect. Great job!

[@erikwinkler]

Yes I know that technique, i used it also. A nice alternative for sandblasting the wood, but still a bit different though.

[@LetMeRetort]

This is freakishly good.

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you

[@DavidGarcia-sx8th]

WOW...WHAT A GREAT GIFT TO ENJOY AND FOR OTHERS TO ENJOY...YOU SIR.....HAVE TALENT....

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you David for your kind words.

[@image360houston-spring2]

I love the way this is put together , both the sign and video!

[@erikwinkler]

Image360 Houston Spring TX thank you! 😃

[@mishipoo9563]

Beautiful sign. I think it's the most beautiful I've ever seen to be honest.

[@erikwinkler]

Mishipoo thank you

[@debbie8654]

This turned out beautiful!

[@erikwinkler]

Sorry for my late reply. Some posts have been overlooked by me. Thank you Debbie.

[@PortlandSawMill]

I always come back to this sign when i need inspiration .. My sign making is quite different to yours but nether the less very inspirational ..

[@erikwinkler]

How is your signmaking then Mark?

[@mikeatencio3273]

So you don't use a CNC machine? How did you get the cool wood grain look? Sandblasted and then glued letters on the top? Very cool.

[@erikwinkler]

Yes indeed

[@andypandy1784]

Stunning. It seems too good to go outside!

[@erikwinkler]

Andy Pandy yes it does for many many years

[@leesak]

Amazing sign! I wonder two things.. what kind of compound do you use to get that bubbled up effect on golden ornament before leaf? And one thing I can't find info about - what kind of tape you use to protect parts you don't want to sandblast? It was really pleasant surprise to see this process on youtube!

[@erikwinkler]

You will have to experiment with the materials you can get your hands on. Every day with every project the tools and materials are different.

[@jamzach4]

Incredible craftsmanship ! You are a true artist.

[@erikwinkler]

Scott O'Hare thank you

[@HasanRedzicHaskoscustoms]

Mind blowing

[@leoescobar931]

Excelente! Muchas hora de trabajo y del bueno.

[@erikwinkler]

Gracias por tu commente!

[@magicalempire]

some nice work here, long process but hard work pays off

[@erikwinkler]

Yes it was also a bit of trial and error, since some techniques were new.

[@magicalempire]

@@erikwinkler but very good, it is not important to be 100% perfect as the distance is beyond the eye of the observer, I was over 20 years in werbetechnik in Germany, I think you made a great job, well done

[@erikwinkler]

@@magicalempire But after these trial and errors it was really allmost perfect. 🙈 Thank you. Now I have another masterpiece on my building.

[@MrRadtech22]

Beautiful man..what did u use at 3:26 the black background below red

[@i4nb0yd]

I'd also like to know what that is. He says in an earlier reply it's his own mix. I think they're glass beads. @ErikWinkler, please let us know! :-)

[@erikwinkler]

It is black glass frits

[@dream-_weaver4769]

Simply extraordinary!

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you!

[@marmaduketylor4583]

the machine did the job? or u did the job?

[@erikwinkler]

Marmaduke Tylor you see in the video that I did the job.

[@erikwinkler]

The machine plotted the design in the sandblast mask, i cut a large part by hand. The sandblasting was done with the sandblasting machine eand the edge routing of the letters was done with a regular handheld router. In general: I did the job. Hope that answers your question.

[@jazepsjazeps]

Great, real masterpiece! Thanks for video! And good luck!

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you kindly

[@vilmarfernandes7872]

Perfeito . Parabéns .

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you! 😃

[@Jordanwoodworking]

You have made a super awsome sign. 👍

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you Jordan!

[@russiankub]

Очень красивая и профессиональная работа! Ручная работа, лучшее что может быть вообще.

[@erikwinkler]

Спасибо за комплимент. Приятно слышать от моих русских друзей.

[@JTFranks]

How much does a sign like that cost?

[@erikwinkler]

I would say 5

[@ShirtsandsignsUsa]

Awesome sign! Did you do the sandblasting in that little cabinet?

[@erikwinkler]

Yes it was very tedious 😉

[@ShirtsandsignsUsa]

@@erikwinkler wow, how did you make that work? I'm guessing the sign must have been sticking out the sides, but it seems much too big to fit in there at all! Beautiful work BTW, it's an inspiration and I hope to reach that level some day.

[@erikwinkler]

@@ShirtsandsignsUsa yes i had to do it in sections.

[@fiscar48]

do you use a sandblasting machine for carving? and do you mix "resin" with that black glass?, hé, what you doing out there is a master piece, never seen before, thnks for sharing

[@erikwinkler]

Yes the grain is sandblasted and the glass is glued on to the background with my own made mixture.

[@neowolfe]

What material was used to protect the design from the sand blaster? Vinyl?

[@erikwinkler]

Yes it was sandblast vinyl

[@owencasey11111]

Absolutely incredible Erik!

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you Owen

[@Thafez78]

[@smug8567]

I wonder what ever happens to those giant neon birds that stood atop The Thunderbird hotel and road sign

[@boediart6608]

How made ???

[@erikwinkler]

Exactly as you see in the video

[@goatontheroad7692]

*single tear* it's so beautiful

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you 🤗

[@Hytektools]

Awesome looking sign!!!

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you Hytek Tools, I bet it would be much easier to make it with your machine.

[@decioleme9281]

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you very much, that is a nice compliment.

[@nacefsofiene4828]

@@erikwinkler I have a CNC router and i work in sign production but your work is a different way and real masterpiece

[@erikwinkler]

@@nacefsofiene4828 i did this so now i know what to look for and make when i use a cnc.

[@briangibson9032]

What gold did you use

[@erikwinkler]

Sorry I just saw your question. I used 23,75 carat transfer gold leaf.

[@MrArtylarry]

That is a thing of beauty, its work like this that inspires me to aim higher. How did you create the ripple effect in the wood that was routed in between the signs where the grain is raised and the cellulose is sunk?

[@erikwinkler]

keven Gabriel sandblasting the wood

[@Diana-wg1tm]

is just gorgeous I absolutely love it

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you Diana

[@dwighthobdy4623]

hey, what's the black filler you used

[@erikwinkler]

Black glass grains

[@dwighthobdy4623]

Erik Winkler beautiful work

[@dwighthobdy4623]

Erik Winkler do you have a link to buy them?

[@erikwinkler]

Dwight Hobdy i bought 10kg a few years. And that was in the Netherlands Europe. Try google them in your area.

[@floydc3664]

Was any of this done with a CNC? Thank you...

[@erikwinkler]

It was all done by hand. Now i woud do it by cnc. Learn the hard way, so you know how it should look when you do it with the cnc.

[@floydc3664]

I do some freehand sign making but even your lines in the wasted cutout area are so smooth with curves. Sir you are a true artist.

[@erikwinkler]

Sanding sanding and sanding my friend. That is when you realize that a 100% cnc sign does not have the emotional feeling and touch. I would do a minor bump in the sign here and there of a cnc sign to get that feeling and touch. Try to look at my Facebook page schitterend.eu and you will see some cnc 3D signs i have done like this.

[@erikwinkler]

Thank you Floyd!

[@vidana789able]

What program did you use for the printoutm

[@erikwinkler]

A plotter

[@DiscoverRajivVlogs]

Did you use a CNC?

[@erikwinkler]

Ofcourse not, did you see the video? Did you see any cnc used here? It is all done by hand and some tools.

[@DiscoverRajivVlogs]

@@erikwinkler I saw the video but you just suddenly came up with texts , so i was little confused. Good job though.

[@erikwinkler]

@@DiscoverRajivVlogs i did those with a handheld saw and a handheld router to round the edges.

[@parkwayconcepts8758]

Well, I was hoping you would show how you carved it, but you skipped right over that. Beautiful sign
