[@russmartin4189]

Excellent demonstration of sign carving. I've subscribed, but not sure I want to get into it. It is a lot of work which requires a lot of patience and many hours of work. I've thought about it though and that is why I'm here. Who knows, maybe at some point I will give it a try. I'll keep watching.

@@oldave100 My new Makita router came today, so I'm set with that. I also have a big set of Yonico bits that I bought on Amazon, but most are not suitable for signmaking. So, assuming I need the bits you used to make the church sign, how much would they cost me plus the base with handles? Thanks

[@briank5628]

great job as usual eric ..love it ...but just happen to notice that when u were done showing us the scallop ..u put your router down before it was shut off fully ...lol ..rule number one broken haha...but really I love it and I would not be doing as well as I am with my routering if it were not for u and dave ..thanks a bunch

An amazing video, highly appreciated. I have been CNC routing for some time and am now learning freehand routing. How can I find the video that precedes this one? I have watched many KZbin videos and now found your channel - excellent, thank you!

[@oldave100]

Thank you Stewart, we appreciate you watching. I think this is the video you're looking for kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXuXm42Bartkjsk

[@bertsbug]

I love watching you. I did many signs when I was younger. 15 years old . I'm getting back into it. 46 years old now. I'm going to do a few address signs first. I was wondering why you jump around the piece so much lifting router off? Is it to see better? I think it would increase your chances of making a mistake. I ordered your plexiglass baseplate. I was going to make my own but I thought why not help out a person that inspired me to get back to making signs...THANK YOU....

[@oldave100]

Thanks so much for the business and the wonderful compliments. Many times I lift the router up so the camera can get a better look at what I'm doing. I also find it helpful to keep track of where I am on the sign. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you, [e-mail].

You make it look easy! I’m a scroll sawer and never tried using a router for carving. I’m going to practice and will purchase some bits. What are the two or three bits I should buy? Looking forward to watching more of your work! 🤙

Thank you Arthur. My 3 go to bits are my Profile, my 90 degree and my 60 degree. With these 3 bits you can cut Inset and Outset letters.

[@randyward6751]

I love your videos , you may have said this but I cant recall , What size were the overlay letters that you used for this sign ?

[@oldave100]

Thanks so much, I appreciate that. Looks like those were 4" condensed Clarendon.

[@frankjenkins2668]

I love the reveals too! Beautiful!!! I just can't make myself leave that much room between my bit and the outside edges of the layout lines like you do. I understand the reason you do.....but dang it, I tend to cut right to the edge of the layout. I gotta work on that to be good like you one day! LOL By the way, that style of cross sure looks familiar to me.......Hmmm! :-)

When you torn the tape off the cross it looked like white clear paper. what else did you use to hold the cross in place.

I used spray adhesive with packing tape on top.

Hey Dave, I've always loved seeing these videos and now that I saved money I'm wondering what kind of router and bits should I get for a beginner. and what kind of wood should I start off on. . plus how do you sharpen the bits? thanks dave.

[@oldave100]

Hi Jesse, this is Eric. Dad doesn't get on here very much. We several different routers that we use. For small detail I like the Dewalt DWP611, modified the way it is in this video. For bigger routers I like the Porter Cable 690LR or the Dewalt 618. I used it on this video as well. For bits we use we have them all on our website makeawoodsign.com under "Sign Carving Supplies". As far as sharpening them we have several videos on how to do that. Check out our video #164, dad did a get job on that one. Hope this helps and let me know if you have more questions, [e-mail]. Thank you, Eric

[@dinoilcagnolino3213]

Hi Dave. How do you sharpen your bits

[@oldave100]

Hi Dino, we've done a few videos on that. Check out #8, #32, #164. There maybe a few more as well. Hope this helps, Thank you, Eric

I'm sorry Rob, I miss read it. I didn't realize that was a question. I thought you were telling me a statement, not asking a question. I haven't really tried that but I guess yes.
