These old videos are still a wealth of knowledge. You should do a "Back to Basics" series of videos. You've got 10+ years of great teachings out here on the Tube.
Thank you for all you do,I'm learning so much from your video's, I made my first sign and everyone loves it.for being my first time I'm very proud of it
Thank you Shawn for watching. Glad the videos are helping. I'd love to see your 1st sign if you want to email me a picture. eric@makeawoodsign.com. Thanks again, Eric
These are great videos and making clouds what I have done is to make the cloud area then go over the area with a rabbeting/flat bit to take the high spots down below the surrounding surface. Then I spray the ink. That works well for me.
Well done guys - I have tried doing this before but I got too many white tips so I realized I was doing something wrong with this video it has cleared up - thanks Burt
@@oldave100 Let. My tell You,mi lenguaje is the Spanish and i can not express very well.Sorry My 80 years is not a obstácule for learn ecer lear,thank You and you work.
where do you get your stencil? Do you print them with a 3D printer? I have 2 1/2" and 4" from Rockler, but looks like they only offer one font. What do you recommend? I was thinks a Cricut printer. I have just began making a few signs and your tutorials are, by far, the greatest help I have gotten. Thanks

I print mine out on my larger format printer. It can take up to 13" wide paper but mostly use 11 X 17, then glue it on the board using spray adhesive. You can make it any font using Word or some other program, add graphics and go from there.
Hey Dave I'm kinda new to this and wondering if there are any tricks to doing the back ground at all that you can give that way I don't accidentally make it just look flat?
It depends on several factors. How many signs, what kid of wood, how much moisture, and which bit? As an example, On the profile bit it will last approx 20-30 signs if you are using dry softwoods before it needs resharpening. If you have more specific questions you can email me directly eric@makeawoodsign.com. Thank you....

How deep are you setting the router when doing the background cleanup?
He says right in the video that the cloud clean up with the 90 degree V-Groove bit is at 1/4 inch deep.
Egggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggslent videos. Thank you for sharing
Glad you like them!!!!
How long do the bits normally last,a few weeks,few months

En donde puedo adquirir ese tipo de broca? Soy de México
This is called a router. You should be able to buy it where power tools are sold.
Could you explain what your doing for the background? I see the video but the movements you are making is not clear. I wish the video was closer

What about a perfectly smooth background that becomes a border / container for a wooden puzzle.
Sounds cool...
