How To Make A Sign WITHOUT A CNC!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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"

[@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 👍😁

[@christophermacier]

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

[@thomasbrubaker4627]

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

[@motor2of7]

Beautiful sign on a beautiful shop.

[@richardlaymance9984]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@WestCoastInfluence]

That is way better than CNC! Shows true craftsmanship

[@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.

[@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

[@Loren_Le_Rouzic]

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

[@davidgagnon2849]

That is stunning!

[@pkk6428]

That took a lot of patience. Great job

[@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

[@wiseoldfool]

Love the scroll saw!

[@chriscastle4503]

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

Awesome Job!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@brucegibson8053]

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

[@vendingo]

Very well done!

[@mindyhall4638]

Some serious scroll saw skills!!!

[@Liazon098]

For that craftsman bit you earned a sub

[@DaveGled]

Good lookin’ sign my friend!

[@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

[@bollox57]

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

[@4149dwiley]

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

[@kanedNunable]

Looks good!

[@metalmouth7499]

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

[@johnbell7552]

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

[@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!

[@melissamcdaniel3542]

Looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@woodnotestudio]

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

[@joeluongo6079]

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

[@mikedodsonlabview]

[@kathleenblakely470]

[@kellydougherty5602]

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!

that scroll saw is awesome! great video.

[@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

[@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.

[@TheRich4187]

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

[@GrizzCraftCustoms]

Wicked labor of love! Great job!

[@discdog1]

That old scroll saw is real nice. I have an ancient hand crank drill press I have that I will be beginning a restore on shortly.

[@ocelliwoodworks7272]

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

Beautiful work

[@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. 😂😂

[@simonr6793]

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

[@ninjaex650]

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

[@tomm8188]

WOW!

[@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!

[@Mrdealornodeal618]

Your scroll saw just blew my mind... Wow.. Good video.:0

[@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! 🖖😊

[@TheThriftyWoodworker]

Peddling an antique scroll saw while wearing Blue Tooth Headphones. Excellent

[@bpoole99251]

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

[@l.rod2827]

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

[@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
