@@aprilrowdenministries like I said below this technique is not for every project it's for projects where you want to keep the rough texture of the wood or masking tape or vinyl transfers will not stick due to the rough nature of the wood. I use this technique on Driftwood from time to time. Works for me but may not work for everybody.

@@tgif3657 It's a good option. I'm way too lazy for that much work LOL. 😃 BTW.. your signs really do look nice.

@@steveusn6852 If you want to leave your wood rough and don't want to have to sand it. The dish soap acts as a removable barrier. You can just paint over your design and the paint will wash off where the soap is and will stay where the laser engraving removed the soap from the wood.

@@rothery2 True sanding does work, but if you want to keep the rough texture of the wood this technique works. This technique is not for every project and has its place. It's just one more tool in your tool belt.

Watch the video for the whole process.

I spray it with mat or gloss clear, depending on the look I want.

@@lastlight05It allows you to paint the engraved area only. The engraving process removes the soap, allowing the paint to only stick to that area and the paint will not stick to the soap. So when you wash off the soap it also removes the paint that is outside the engraved area.

There’s definitely a possibility of warping, but I avoid soaking the wood. I usually just run water over it and dry it off with a towel. Out of all the pieces I’ve made, only a couple have warped slightly, and they were both pine. I mostly use this soap process when making rustic-style signs, where taping or sanding won’t give me the results I want. Typically, I use cedar fence boards for these projects, but I do occasionally use pine if the piece won’t be used outdoors. Give it a try and let me know your results!

I believe the font was Shadowed Serif.

I agree, this process is not for all project or wood types. The wood I am using the video is cedar fence boards. I have also used pine fence boards. Did have one pine one get a little of bow but not much. I try not to soak the wood more than necessary. It works for me for the purpose I use it for.

Thank you! I usually put down a thick 1st coat of soap and let dry and then come back and put another layer but not as thick and let it dry for a little bit so its not messy to handle and laser it. But the sign in this video set for a few days, because during making this video my daughter went into labor and gave birth to two heathy boys! But the delay didn't seen to make a difference.

@@tgif3657 Congrats on the birth of your grandsons!

Awesome! Thank you!

Congratulation on your new Beaver!!! Our has the Cummins 300, we love it. It's an older coach but runs great! If you haven't done so go subscribe to the Beaver Motorhome group on Facebook, tons info and help can be found there.

You could do that if you wanted a clear or mat finish when done, that is definitely an option.

I'll share any improvements that I come up with. Going to try putting on one coat letting it dry and then put on a thin wet coat and laser it and see how that works.

@@gaylewilliams7353 No just regular spray paint.

Thank you!

@@tgif3657 you are welcome

@@jeffchisamore1556 I am using the soap instead of tape because tape doesn't make a good seal and the paint leaks under it. Soap keeps the paint from bonding to the wood. I use the clear inside the letters to keep it from soaking into the wood where the letters have been engraved. When the clear has dried I spray my paint and let it dry and then I wash off the paint that's not in the engraved area.

@@tgif3657 It's a nice trick.

@@ToOldToDoThis first coat about an hour and then the second coat about 4 hours. I have let it set for a day or longer. The clear coat probably about an hour and the paint about an hour. I rushed the painting process in this video I should have done a couple of light coats letting it dry between coats.

Thanks for the information. Isn’t it amazing that when we rush things we make more work in the end.

@@ToOldToDoThis 😂😂😂 definitely more work

We love this part of the country, there are a lot of Bouzarge's and Bosarge's in this area. Hope you have a wonderful time on your trip!

@@weliveincrzytimes thanks for your comment. Sounds like you won't be buying one. 😂

Awesome

Glad you enjoyed it

Yes, lol thanks for catching that.

Ever notice how many people have so much time on their hands and are bored to death. Probably not creative, never worked with their hands, and ignored the content for a cheap error hit. Hope it was good for you.

@@williamowens21 Thank you for your comment. And thanks for watching!

@@guynoir4733 I pass their ship yard office at around 8:18 mark in the video. I am not sure where the Church was. I will have to check that out.

@@joshgoodson3033 Not yet, may give it a try on some of my mags.

Wow, I have never heard that before. I will have to do some digging to see what I can find out about that. So sad if true.

@@heydavis4168 That's a good idea. I am still friends with many people who grew up as pastor kids. I have thought about getting them to share life as a pastor kids in the church and what it was like.

@@tgif3657 I think that would be fabulous! People just want “real” in today’s fake society. And what is more real than real experiences within the Church while adding to the allure, love, and experiences of the history there. 😎👍

Don't we all.

Laughed like Butt-Head from Beavis and Butthead.

@@georgiareddirtroad9919 lol, ok noted.

@@markbuskens6070 That wasn't me, I got these shots around the state docks in the Bayou.

Nope, never got them to work.

He can’t help it. My dogs are terrified of fireworks

Hmm, works for others.

It's a Cummins 8.3. We love our too, just hate my job situation has changed and can't hit the road as much as we would like. Thanks for watching!

So true!

If you keep your Beaver in good condition and keep it out there, sooner or later someone will comment on your nice Beaver. :-)
