Im just seeing this for the first time sir and i am blown away. I have a cnc machine but i love to learn freehand and now you are my new mentor. Thank you for all your tips. I will continue to follow you like a hawk. May GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS SIR
Thanks Joe! We sure appreciate the support, buddy👍👍👍
I just started using the freezer paper a couple weeks ago and it really does work great! I love your idea of a flatter wood spoon. Thanks so much for the additional tips on using freezer paper - a wonderful, easy, cheap process. Also, very fun and educational to watch how you use your light up and down touch on carving the detail. Thanks again for all you teach us.
Thank you for watching John, glad we could help, Eric
I've completed sign with inset letters, outset numbers (with Eric's) cloud outline, with full picture in the center (~ 5x9) using freezer paper. Color pic turned out perfect!! I made sure to tape down all sides so pic did not move while using wooden spoon to rub in all directions. To get all ink to transfer and show up nice, you must run in all directions (vertical, horiz, both angled). Picture just adds another element to our router carved signs (plus it easily adds some color). Thanks Eric for sharing all your learned secrets (tricks of the trade)!
Sounds like you have a great process that's working for you. Thank you for the kind words, happy to help.
Thanks for sharing this new transfer process. This eliminates some of the more time consuming (carbon paper) or messy (glue) processes for us ink jet users.
All of your instructional videos are appreciated by us novices!
Glad to help, Thank you for watching....
Thanks for backing the blue, I'm retired 38 years!
Thank you for your service! Society couldn't function without men and women like you!
Parchment paper works really well too. I was able to transfer from my inkjet print to wood with amazing results.
Great idea, Jamie!! Thanks buddy
How did you get the parchment paper to go through your printer? I tried glueing the corners to regular printer paper and it still got stuck in my printer! I’m not having any luck at all with anything especially my wood!😢
I watched this method of a transfer again and I still think it is the best way ever. Thanks again.
My favorite so far... Thank you Jack!!!
This is exactly what I was looking for to copy over custom art I've made in inkscape to wood for me to burn! I appreciate you and your work and earned a sub!
Thank you.... If I can answer any questions for you be sure and email me directly, eric@makeawoodsign.com.
I tried this out to carve onto some basswood because I’ve been trying lots of different options and I’m not happy with any of them. It worked amazingly. Thank you so much for sharing it.
You're very welcome. If I can answer ay questions for you let me know, eric@makeawoodsign.com. Thank you for watching
On your android, you can go to settings, then language and Keyboard, then to Google voice typing, and in there, you can flip the switch to block offensive words. that is only for the voice to text feature, it does not stop you from manually typing the naughty words!
Great video!
Thank you Kent for the info, I always want the option to type those words manually.... depending on who I'm talking to, LOL
I’m so glad I found your page. This will help me out as a beginner
Thank you for watching Susan. Be sure and let me know if I can answer any questions for you, eric@makeawoodsign.com

After watching many videos this has been the most straightforward I have seen. Thank you.
You're very welcome, Thank you, so glad you liked it.
Cutting the Reynolds 'wrap' to size - that would be a great addition to this tutorial as the HP printers can be so darn finicky!
My wife's interested in wood burning and I sent her a link to this video because I thought it well worth watching.
Thank you Larry, glad you enjoyed it. That's a good idea cutting the freezer paper to size. I'll put that on the list.
everyone can buy the tools you use, but can't buy the skills you have. you are amazing Sir. Thank you for sharing the tutorial, asking permission to try it myself.
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words. YES, Absolutely please do try it yourself, that's one of the reasons I do these videos. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you. My direct email is eric@makeawoodsign.com. I'm always happy to help. Thank you again for watching!!!
@@oldave100 thanks again, Sir. I appreciate that I will try it myself based on your tutorial.
Happy to help, Thank you!!!
Absolute newbie to all this...getting a Dremel plunge router to start and you've shown me so much..thank you
I'm excited for you. Have fun and be sure and let me know if you have any questions I can help with, eric@makeawoodsign.com
This technique works amazing. I watched this video, did what Eric said to, and it was perfect. I carved my first sign ever using their baseplate and the profile bit that i ordered from you guys and it turned out awesome. Thank you!!
Thank you Ryan for watching and for the business. So glad we were able to help, Eric
Another superb tutorial Eric, the transfer process using the freezer paper and inkjet printer method, looks pretty easy and accurate, because, most of us own an inkjet printer, so this will make the transfer of letters and images so much easier. Thanks again for sharing and please thank Bill Higgins for sharing as well.
You're welcome Russell, glad to help. Thank you for watching....
Just a quick one Eric, been trying to find an easy way of reversing text, do you know of one.
We use a website called Rapid Resizer. Let's you reverse and re size your artwork. Works great....
@@oldave100 does the resizer app cost money to use?
Your amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world. My daughter and I are learning together. We are binging on all your videos. Learning alot. Thank you very much for all the time you put into your videos for us to learn. Will send you a picture when we do our first carving.
You're very welcome Cecilio. Happy we could help. Look forward to seeing some of you and your daughters work. Thank you for watching, eric@makeawoodsign.com.
@@oldave100 Thanks Dave. I just bought a Drill Master. 120 volt. 1/4 inch trim router. What bit and handle guide do you recommend I get from your website.
Eric as a LEO in Florida, I appreciate your Blue Lives Matter bracelet. Thanks for the great videos. They really help me with my carving projects. Just ordered some bits and anxious to get carving with them.
You're very welcome Brian. Thank you for your service. I am proud to show appreciation to you and your brothers and sisters that keep us safe THANK YOU!!!!! Please let me know if you have any questions I can help with eric @makeawoodsign.com.
Hi Eric you are such an insperationyou got me staring to carve signs too i am 68 yrs young hopefully i can come close to sending a copy of my sign to you i will be ordering- bits from you soonlooking forward to following your sign carvingfor some time to come thank you
Hi Paul, So happy you found us and enjoy what we do. Thank you for watching and the kind words. Please email me directly if I can answer any questions for you, eric@makeawoodsign.com.
WOW ! I could really go crazy doing this. I have a Adobe program that I could make any picture....literally...any picture I want and put it on wood. Thx Dave ! Subbed and thumbs up !
Thank you Ray, always happy to help. Thank you for watching and the sub...
Love it, love it! I know where I'm going after work today...getting me some freezer paper and spending an afternoon in the shop! Thanks for sharing this time saving technique Eric!
You're welcome Sean, I think you're gonna like it....
So how did you keep the freezer paper from curling up and jamming inside the inkjet printer?
My printer works fine but some printers are finicky and won't work well. I've heard you can tape the freezer paper to a normal piece of paper and then it feeds thru great. Haven't tried it yet but it makes sense.
Thank you so much your videos have inspired me I'm disabled and you have given me a hobby that has helped greatly
So glad we could help, Thank you for watching, we very much appreciate it, Eric
Attempted my very first router carving on pine. I used a drill master 120 volt 1/4" trim router and the bit I used was a 1/4 straight bit, only because they didn't have a profile bit. I know I'll need a better router and bits eventually, but I was just trying g this out for size to see if its something I'd like to eventually do and I'M SO IN!!! It's not great but it give me a feel for the handling of the router and the figuring out the best depth for the bit.
Thanks for all the videos and great advice.
Thanks so much Emily for watching and the nice compliments. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you, eric@makeawoodsign.com.
@@oldave100 I'm sure I will have many questions down the line and appreciate your help in advance. Oh, I forgot to mention that since I don't have a printer, to print a stencil, I used vinyl. I have a cricut die cutting machine and was able to cut out a stencil of my subject. It was very helpful in keeping me from carving out what I shouldn't. I will email you a photograph
Sounds great Emily, happy it worked for you. Yes I would love to see a pic when you're done. Thanks again!!!
Hey Eric, Great Video. I use my Inkjet as well. I however use a transparency film. I rough them up with 100 grit sandpaper (WET) and scratch up an down, sideways and diagonal both ways. These are reusable many many times. In fact I am still using the same one for over 7 months. Happy carving.
Thank you Ronald, glad you found a process that works for you.
Thanks so much for the freezer paper process. This is great and much cheaper too. Headed to the store right after I send this comment 🤣 to get me some freezer paper. Thanks again for all your help on teaching us minions.
LOL.... You're going to love it, works good....Thank you for watching....
Thanks for the idea. The only problem I had is the paper kept jamming. So I just taped a piece of paper on it and it worked great. Works great. Was able to do 2 transfers from one sheet
Yea it's funny how some printers can be touchy. Vicki and I have exactly the same model of printer. Mine works fine, and hers jams up. Taping to another piece of paper works or even a glue stick instead of tape.
That transfer tip is awesome. And, as usual, your router carving is just phenomenal. Another great video. Way to go, Vick.
Thank you, glad you liked it....
Saved me a bunch of work. Cuts my wood burning time in half. Thanks for sharing.
Happy to help. Thank you for watching, Eric
I heard of this before( transfer) but didn't have courage to try it ,thanks for the video
Much easier than other methods I've tried with better results.
Your video just gave me a great idea to carve out.a picture of my dog with my Dremel and the router attachment.
Right on! Nothing quite like a good dog 🐶🐶
Thanks for backing the blue , I’m not an officer but support them and have many friends that are officers. God bless ya .

@@oldave100 yes sir I know and agree I’m a defense engineer for the DoD
That's awesome, man! Sounds like a fun job
WOW.....freezer paper, that came out so beautiful
Thank you Vickie, I appreciate you watching an the kind words...
I like the freezer paper idea. What I've been doing is to print the design on regular white paper, then use charcoal on the reverse side to follow the design. Then I place that on the wood, and trace it with a pencil. THEN... you have to trace it again on the wood, over the charcoal because if you don't when you use the router, it erases the charcoal. Several steps more than freezer paper! :)
Thank you for watching and the compliments. Please email me directly if I can answer any questions for you, eric@makeawoodsign.com
Amazing. Never thought of using freezer paper. I've tried a lot of other methods but this looks amazing. Have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
I now use freezer paper made for inkjet printers. Here a video where I show it. ua-cam.com/video/AyAl6zHs0Vs/v-deo.html Hope this helps. Thank you and if you have any other questions you can email me directly, eric@makeawoodsign.com
I ordered the freezer paper you used on the fish video when you did a comparison, I am getting frustrated because no matter what I try the wood grain keeps coming through and it looks horrible.. can please give me a thorough tutorial on how to prep the wood? Or tell me what I’m doing wrong. My husband put the wood (pine) through a plainer and sanded it and the wood grain and fine white line come through because of the wood grain! Please recommend something! Thank you
Hi Jean, I'm not really sure what you mean. When you transfer something onto wood, the grain is definitely going to show.
Shoot me some pictures and I'll try to help.

@@oldave100 Thank you, I sent you 2 pictures!
First time I've seen one of your videos, really good. Thanks from Wales.
Thank you Mark, so glad you found us and are enjoying what we do. If I can answer any questions for you please let me know eric@makeawoodsign.com.
Thanks, I've just bought a secondhand router (to see if it's for me) I did notice that the on/off switch had to be held while working 9all the videos show a positive on-off) I was wondering is this ok or is there a problem and if so is it an easy fix?
I don't see that as a problem at all. Probably safer... The old craftsman routers used to work that way.
Great, I love the information about the freezer paper. I will try it. This is the first time I hear about it. This is simple and easy. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching,. Happy to help, glad you enjoyed it.
Wow. very cool process. I will try a simple project right after I get the freezer paper
Thank you, let me know if you have any questions I can help with, eric@makeawoodsign.com.

Great job my friend. I was just looking for a way to transfer images and words to my pallet projects, BUT you have inspired me to try my router for carving. Thanks!
Thank you Eddie. Glad you liked it. Happy I could inspired you to try it out.
WOA! I wasn't sure what to expect. It opened up my eyes!
Glad you liked it.... Thank you for watching...

Just a tip, if your freezer paper does not feed into the printer, I use a regular piece of printing paper as a backing and just glue the end where the printer grabs. I have found this to work for me. Some printers are a little fussy.
Great point, that's where the label backers may work better. They feed through the printers easier.
Yes I have seen that but I have not tried it yet. Freezer paper is cheap so that is the way I went
Thanks for the inkjet transfer process; can't wait to try it.
You'll love it
That transfer process is awsome. Thank you.
Thank you...
Great video. Just to clarify first. Print on shiny side of freezer paper. Then place image with paper down on wood before rubbing? Thanks, Ellen
Yup, you got it👍👍
Here's an updated video on the whole process ua-cam.com/video/fW0X13HYoT8/v-deo.html
WOW!!! I will be trying this over the weekend, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, you're gonna love it...
Thank you for backing the blue! Great video!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you, thank you, Dave Rhoten, and the one who sent this tip. I needed something like this to help me pay some bills. Guess Jesus seems to always shine the light, "knock and the door shall be answered..." and "seek ye the kingdom first, and all shall be added unto you." What a way to "freeze" an image.
Thank you for watching Rey, glad you enjoyed it. Lots more to come in 2018. Happy New Year, Eric
Very cool process... Thank you for sharing! Just started watching your channel and I am hooked... :)

Great video. Some people save the back part of label paper thats plastic coated and do the same thing. Its an easy way to add a photo directly to wood also.
Gonna give that a try... Great to see you and Tammy yesterday, thank you for coming by.

l LOVE the tip! This is why I love U-Tube stuff like this is invaluable! THANK YOU Sr.
You're very welcome, Thank you for the kind words and for watching, glad you find it helpful
Very nice work Dave, really like your videos
Thank you so much!!!
Definitely going to give this a go.i would normally print a stencil and use carbon paper and draw around everything, this freezer paper could save alot of time . I've never liked the idea of glueing the stencil to the wood ,just to messy. .I've also seen someone use lazer print paper, face down and a warm iron,..and you iron the image to the wood and yes it does work..lol..
I've tried the iron on and I like this much better.
Great video. The best part is the blue lives matter bracelet, thanks for the support. I will try this method.
Thank you for keeping us safe. It's my honor to support our men & women in blue. Merry Christmas!!!
Its a great video Dave. Thanks from Brazil, it helped me a lot!
You're very welcome Daniel, Thank you for watching!!!
Just an amazing skill and job out put 🎉 K
Thank you!
I just came across your video again but this time watched one all the way through. My other videos were in regard to leatherworking and burnishing and all that kind of good stuff. I’m just trying to figure out what it is I want to do. I’ve always been an artistic person and I’ve tried many things; photography pencil art, making leather leashes a long LIVE rifle straps and dog collars. I was thinking even using my Dremel on the leather so that is what I’ve been doing recently YouTubing videos about that (Pyrography). I have always drawn free handed with anything I’ve done. But what you hear did on this video is amazing, I really do like it and you did a wonderful job at representing it so just about anybody could understand it. Thank you sir for a great video, will look forward to seeing moreOr trying to backtrack to all the others that you have put out there already. Happy New Year 2018, May you and your family have a great year and don’t look back!
Thank you Donna for watching and all the nice compliments. Sounds like you are very talented and if you choose to make some signs I'm sure be good at it in a short period of time. Please let me know if I can answer any specific questions for you, eric@makeawoodsign.com.
sorry for the stupid question, but I have to print the glossy part of the paper or the other? tnx
Not a stupid question, I should have said it. The glossy side is what you want to print on. Thank you for watching and please let me know if you have any other questions, eric@makeawoodsign.com
@@oldave100 I tried to print on the glossy side but the print is wet and as soon as you touch the sheet the drawing is ruined
safe to use inkjet or laser jet?
Just when I thought that inkjet transfer processes don't yield good results, the reynolds!! can't believe how good that looks. And pretty quick too! Cheers buddy, great stuff, i'm going to try it on my next sign i'm about to start! I wonder if this works with laser jet/toner based printers?
Thanks Mike, I don't know I haven't tried it with the laser printer yet. I'm skeptical because the laser ink gets hot.
Another method that works is the one done by Aceman on UA-cam, and I have tested it using freezer paper and it does work. The idea of drying it in the sun for hours was nice but it was night, and it was cold, so I just dried it all inside, and I only waited until it was actually dry, not hours. I tested it on text - I have a Tshirt Transfer setting on my printer that does the flipping for me, but it flips everything, so I have to flip the images that I want but leave the text as is. Print on the side with glue, and the image on my inkjet appeared glossier than on regular paper. (I found this out by printing on the wrong side, but I just flipped it over after that was dry and did it on the correct side. Materials were Krylon Matte clear spray from Walmart, Elmers Glue All, not the washable stuff, and freezer paper. After printing, and letting it dry for a while, I did have to see if the ink smeared, and it didn't. And after I put the image face down onto the second coat of glue - the wet one - I only waited until the glue above my image was dry. My test was text, and it came out looking as sharp and clear as the Inkjet Tshirt Transfer paper left them, but it was easier and no ironing. My impatience could have screwed things up, but after the paper treatment dried overnight (spray and one coat of glue), my whole test took about 90 minutes. I do small stuff, so although the freezer paper is supposed to be reuseable, I cut my images out so I have to make another sheet for more images, but I have a sheet full of them to use first...
Thank you for your input. I may check into that and give it a try. Thank you for watching, Eric
good job Eric
Thank you Burt.....
would one of those smoothing rollers work better, added pressure and even distribution
I may give that a try, Thank you....
Cool, I love your youtube and website
Ready to try my hand at sign making. Thanks so much for all the videos and the valuable info. Can you give me some info on the bits you used for this craving. Thanks
Thank you for watching Alex. The bit that I used on this sign is our profile bit. Here's a link to a video I did a while back that show all the bits we use and what each one of them does. ua-cam.com/video/afKK8isUukM/v-deo.html They are all available on our website makeawoodsign.com.

Hi thats great work. Can one photo copy photos onto to freeze paper and put it onto wood? Cheers Great video thank you.
Thank you for watching. Yes, absolutely you can copy photos to wood. Here's one of our latest videos on inkjet transfer process. I could be done with a color photo just as easy. ua-cam.com/video/fW0X13HYoT8/v-deo.html
This Technic is new to me, Thanks Dave.
You're very welcome, Thank you for watching. Please let me know if I can answer any specific questions for you, eric@makeawoodsign.com
Cool vid! Thanks for sharing! Couple questions...1. You mention that you normally use a sanding finish after sanding, what is that? What is it's benefit? 2. How long after you printed onto the freezer paper did you make the transfer? Thanks again for such great info...lovin' your channel!
Thank you Andrea. 1. I always us Sanding Sealer on pine. It's made to seal up wood and they sell it at Lowes. Pine has a tendency to bleed when you spray it with black. Because it raises the grain you need to knock it down by hand sanding slightly if you're going to do a transfer like this. 2. I normally print it within a few min of applying the transfer. If you have any other questions you can email me directly, eric@makeawoodsign.com. Thanks again for watching.
Very good my friend...congratulations here at Brazil...good job...
Parabens...continue assim..
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!!!
Awesome job guys, keep up the great work.
Thank you, glad you liked it....
Eric, a laser printer (I have a wifi laser printer by brother - HL-L2360D) is about $100. To say my funds are limited would be an understatement. The main reason I invested in it, was the cost difference (per sheet) when printing. The best part? My ink doesn't dry up like inkjets like to do; no clogging of the print heads, etc. Not to mention that my toner lasts a lot longer than the inkjets, too.
To get to the point: (Sorry, got sidetracked - *SQUIRREL*) You made a comment about the toner process and using lacquer thinner, and chemicals to transfer patterns. (saw your video from May, and decided to "run my mouth" here, rather than there, but may post there, too lol). With many thanks to a router friend, a few years ago, we found the transfer process with laser printers, and instead of the lacquer thinner, and other harmful chemicals, I use Wintergreen Oil. This process to me, has been the best way to transfer my patterns without losing my lines. When I used the inkjet with wax paper, or freezer paper, I had no luck with it. It smeared off. Just my two cents, and shame on me, I've been lacking in watching your videos. Since my initial interest in making signs, and after learning from you and your dad, I've let your videos go to the wayside. You've changed a few things, and just as in the beginning, I'm learning a few tricks/ideas on refining my sign making.
Hi Barb haven't tried wintergreen oil. Glad it works for you. I'm now using an inkjet printer on transparency film and I like the way it works. See LTS 9/30/17. Thank you for coming back, for watching, and for your input.
Could you describe the process you describe with the Wintergreen oil? Also, what paper did you use? Printer paper? Freezer paper sheets, Dave recommends? Thank you in advance.
I think a different tool to press it down and transfer the image with is in order. What tool?
IDK yet. But something with a blunt point. Maybe a custom dowel or something with a dull point on it.
I like my router bit depth gauge made from 1/4" acrylic. Here's a video ua-cam.com/video/XTFPx9R-Z3k/v-deo.html
ok like your video but where can I find that tools and machines that you use it please
If you go to our video #241 we have links in the description of that video to everything that we use. Hope this helps. If you're looking for some specifically or have more questions you can email me directly eric@makeawoodsign.com. Thank you for watching.
Does wax paper is different from freezer paper and will it stick on canvas as well?
I haven't tried wax paper so I can't tell you on that. If you use freezer paper I'm sure it will stick to canvas. Seems like I saw a video on that.
Could you use an iron for the transfer, instead of the spoon?
For the inkjet transfer process, you don't want to use an iron. You can use a credit card or wooden spoon. We have small plastic "scrapers" we use most of the time.
I am a newbie at engraving but am loving it. it's a great pass time. I've been watching all your videos and have been learning so much. Thank you
will a laser printer work for the freezer paper method ?
No, the laser printer has to be done on regular paper, then use acetone to rub it on.
Great video, steady hand is amazing.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!!!
Hi Dave
I hope you're doing well
I wonder why don't you use the plunge part on the dewalt router?
Is not better control for the depth!
Thanks
We're doing great over here. I never have cared for the plunge router for freehand sign carving. Way too bulky and harder to control. Just my preference.
I like the engraving very much (Joseph and Mary), well done, thank you for sharing
Thank You!!!
Where do you put freezer paper In the fridge or anywhere
Anywhere...
Dave I have tried wax paper An it seem to work as the freezer paper I don't know if u tried it yet
The labe stock is like was paper, I think... Now I prefer the transparency paper...
what have you found is the best way to keep your wood secured so it doesn't move when you're working? i've had some luck with the foamy stuff that you put inside drawers or cabinets (not sure what that's actually called) and i also used g-clamps, but they made minor indentations into the wood. I'm really enjoying watching your videos, you have a friendly demeanor that makes learning from you quite enjoyable!
Thank you Michele, I very much appreciate you watching and the nice compliments. I use a drawer liner rubber pad that I love. Check out video Coffee & Questions 10/2/17. Thanks again and if I can answer any other questions, you can email me directly, eric@makeawoodsign.com.
You guys are so awesome! Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you James, we appreciate you watching and all the kind words.....
OMG this is sooo cool Thanks Eric!
Thank you David...
nice work cowboy!!!
Thank you...
Thank you for showing this!!! I tried it an works GR8!
Glad it worked for you. Best I've found so far.
I'd use an iron to transfer the image, it is after all the friction heat that 'melts' the wax on the freezer paper that transfer the image. But a very good idea no matter what .
Thank you for the tip Kenneth.
Hi Dave. Thanks for yet another great video. It occurs to me that the wooden spoon is creating heat from friction so I wonder if the generation of heat is as much a factor in transferring the image as the applied pressure? If so, you should try using a clothes iron on a very very low setting to see if this could transfer the image even better. Please give it a try and let us know if you have any success. :)
I tried it... It does transfer some using heat, but the rubbing techniques works better. I'll do this on video soon. Thank you for the question and for watching, Eric
Very nice 👍 great video
