Been watching your older videos on the lettering and been learning a lot. I will say you have always been very responsive to my questions on email. Getting ready to make a sign for friends who have a Food Truck and trying to decide on which lettering offset or Inset He sign will say “Hungry Hiker”

[@oldave100]

Thanks man, we really appreciate it. I personally like outset a little more than inset depending on the font. But also, if the board is super nice, I want to show that off as much as possible. So, I guess it just depends on what looks best😂😂

[@k9kayaks]

Eric I sent you an email of what I was talking about a picture of the cedar board and the lettering I went with. Hope to your advice on how I should proceed on Outset or Inset Thanks

[@twopoolpeople]

Thank you Eric & the camera Lady! Your background looks like it is hand carved. Nice..

[@highperformancebassboats]

Very Cool ! I started using the 60' bit today on 1" letters. I really like it. cuts smooth

[@oldave100]

Sweet! The 60 degree is probably the best cutting bit we use

[@patrickstiltner1207]

Excellent video Eric! Thank you!

[@oldave100]

Thank you Patrick...

[@mr.knownothing]

YES!!!! Love this video!!!💯 I used the dumpling technique when I did a Coca-Cola Sign. I have it posted. You have given me so much inspiration I can't thank you enough. Your channel is one I highly recommend 👌 👍 Thank you so much for sharing all your fantastic knowledge. P.S. I'll be sure to grab some wood and start playing 😉🤣 Cheers! 🤘🤠🥃

Great video Eric as always

[@oldave100]

Thank you Martin...

[@shastastan1935]

Another great vid for your standard background, Eric. I got my 45 deg Amana bit today and that's what I'm using rather than the 60 or 90. There's also a 30 deg bit that I may try later on. Thanks again for the tips.

[@oldave100]

You're welcome...

[@tomstone2322]

Great video! Just getting started was making a sign for my daughter and son-in-law did a pretty good job with the letters(for me)then went deeper with the profile bit to get more room. I followed the same line and nicked my letters 😡🤬Thanks for all the info!

[@oldave100]

We have a video coming out in the next few weeks on how to fix that exact problem!👍👍

Just gotta rub in the fact you got one heck of a good deal on the Porter Cable router. LOL I searched all the Lowes within a 50 radius trying to find one that price. Love the learning videos though.

[@oldave100]

Yea, my best deal ever, just want to remember...

Very nice video, did that router come with those lights or did you add them later

[@oldave100]

We did add the lights. Here's the video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4nUhWaEmM2Ij7ssi=bqMvs3lOJnRisA15 Thank you ❤

[@sunrisesunset2198]

Hey Dave I've got a question for you. What did you do before your laser machines and templates. Would you find templates on the internet or craft store? what was that process like

[@oldave100]

Back in the 70's & 80's (long before craft stores) we would buy them from a company that cast them out of plastic. The artwork we would use carbon paper. Here's an old video (13 years ago) where I showed the evolution of our artwork layouts long before we got a laser. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYu6Z2NumM2cbMU Hope this helps. If you any other questions feel free to email me direct, [e-mail]

@@oldave100 what DeWalt router is best for that base sir

[@oldave100]

The Dewalt DWP611 is the corded version. The DCW600 is the cordless version. The same baseplate fits both. Here's the link makeawoodsign.com/products/acrylic-router-base-plate-for-dewalt-dwp611

[@Diggar72]

New to the channel and I am trying to understand the bits that you are using to carve with. I keep looking up profile bits but I keep coming up with bits for CNCs but not for regular routers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

[@oldave100]

Hi Kyle, first of all thank you for watching!!! Here's a video that shows demos on all our bits. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnfUlqiPm7p2Z8k We actually sell all the bits we use on our website www.makeawoodsign.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=4 If you have any other questions feel free to email me directly [e-mail]

@@oldave100 thank you so much for that video. I have it save in my faves for future references. I have learned a ton from your videos and my sign carving has improved greatly. Thank you again.

Hello,I tryed to use the freezer paper that you recommend but it did not work for me, what part is to be use shiny side to print the letter at láser printer???.It only worked with Ironing.

[@oldave100]

The freezer paper only works in Inket printers, not laserjet. Print on the shinny side. Here's a couple videos that may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqW6q4Z3rJiketU kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4LdZmSDodNplbc Let me know if you have any other questions, [e-mail]

[@brucepeter3409]

Thank You for this video, Eric. This is one I'll be incorporating/referencing in the class(es) I teach ... well if the pandemic ever gets under control enough to the point I feel safe when the restrictions are lifted. I also feel confident that the majority of us viewers will find this video beneficial. I like the looks that "Dave's background' technique achieves! That you show at the end of the video! Question: As you showed this technique as an after-thought; Do you recommend doing the deeper background outer edge last (like you did in the video) or first (if you had planned to show this technique)? Does it matter which order the outer edge and texture are done in?

[@oldave100]

I sent you an email on this too. Great question. I should have said this on the video. I would do the parameter (cloud) first just like normal. Then adjust the depth shallower and do the background. Thank you Bruce...
