Had the exact same problem a few years back. When I made the mistake, I had seen Eric's video previously about that issue. No panic. Just followed his advice and had perfect results. Thanks again Eric for all your help and support. I've been quiet, but still making sawdust.
Howdy Mr. Eric. Thank You for taking the time to show how to fix a mistake. As I was watching, I kept thinking 🤔, why is he bothering? It probably took more time to correct it than to just start over....he's so quick with the carvings, it would have saved so much time. Ohhh...."THATS" why he did it, he was just showing a technique on how to fix something like that and as you mentioned towards the end, if it was an actual sign, you would have just started over. I appreciate your time and effort in doing this video. Thank You. 😊
Great Tutorial... I can remember several years ago when this happened to me & I called you freaking out & you told me how to fix it😁 So Thankful for all the help you always provide for everyone💖
I like your pragmatism on this, Eric. Yours is a much better way to salvage this project that using wood epoxy. Thanks for the tip and comprehensive demo.
I think we've all done this at least a time or 2 but this shows an easy way to fix mistakes before they become firewood thank you for all that you do for all of us
This is great! I've always been worried and super careful because I was afraid to mess it up and having to start all over. Thanks for spreading the knowledge
Always good. Great tips as usual. If you're watching for the first time or checking it out every once in a while just subscribe so you don't miss anything. Always very informative.
That's AWESOME.....turned out so nice. Thanks so much for doing this video! I'll definitely refer back to it if I ever need to replace an area on a sign.
Have not encountered this as of yet but after seeing this I am sure if I ever do that I can take care of the mistake. Thanks for demonstrating this my friend.
Eric thanks for posting this video - just today I threw out a recently carved because I carved out the middle of an R - now I have a better idea how to fix this problem in the future.
Thank you Eric for this video, I remember Frank saying something about asking you how to fix such as a mistake when you came to Austin but I didn't really hear how it was done, this is great you don't know how many signs I've thrown away but had I'd known this repair trick they could have been saved
Great fix! Another idea I just thought of, especially if its small and will be painted, would be to use a strong wood filler, then over fill it and carve it back out.
I've repaired a few mistakes but not like this. I just cut out the place that was messed up, and cut a small piece of the same wood, and basically routed and sanded it till it matched. That seemed to work pretty well for me. Good video, though. I never thought of replacing the whole letter.
Great job 👍..just a little nervous with you wearing gloves on the band saw . I knew a guy that had gloves on cutting in band saw and it got caught on blade and didn't end well ..just my 2 cents..love your videos great job keep up the hard work
Another great video was that Kevlar gloves you were using on the bandsaw I been thinking about picking up a pair I sliced the tip of my fingers off on the bandsaw a little over a month ago and been thinking about picking up some Kevlar gloves if so how do you like them
@@oldave100 The only problem with wearing gloves the glove could get caught and pull you hand into the blade but on the flip side we know how strong Kevlar is your damn if you do damn if you don’t
@@oldave100 I see hadn’t thought of that. Guess you’d have to have a piece of wood the right thickness and then the grain would have matched as well as the way you did it.

Awesome, man! I'm glad it worked out👍👍 And no worries. Keep making that sawdust!

Glad it was helpful, Burt!
Thanks for this info. It's a great fear I have and I would have had no idea how to fix it. Now I won't worry so much. Great relief! Thanks!!!
No problem, Gayle!
It seems really great, the way you did it. Thanks for the demonstration.
No problem, Bill!

Glad it was helpful, Mario! You're making some amazing stuff!
A really helpful video. I have wondered how to address this problem.
Glad we could help, Monte!
Well dang, I'd have never thought of that! Wow!
😂😂Ya, dad's pretty creative!
This is a really great tip, and time saver. Thank you could save us hours and $$$$
Glad it was helpful, Gary!
Great fix! Another idea I just thought of, especially if its small and will be painted, would be to use a strong wood filler, then over fill it and carve it back out.
Great idea! Thanks Josh!
Yes, if the letters are painted, your idea is a time saver.
Great video and that’s a awesome fix thanks for showing us how to fix a mistake 👍
Our pleasure, buddy!
another great demo, and a wonderful tip. thanks.again i learned a lot.
Thanks, Emil! I'm glad it helped!👍👍
👍👍👍 Thanks Eric. Great idea.
Thanks, Pete!
I would think that a cutoff of the original board would be better as the grain would match and there would be less to shape down.
That's definitely a possibility. It's all in the grain of the particular board you're using and how consistent it is.
Wow amazing fix
Just a little lighter but wouldn't have noticed if not looking
Thanks Laura!
thanks again really appreciate it love your tutorials.
Thank you Miss Sheila ❤
Thank you very much for your help.
No worries, Joe👍👍
Wow thank you thank you I am a beginner I really needed this 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 We've all been there
Thanks for the tip😊
Any time!👍👍

Thanks buddy! I get that comment quite a bit, but I just feel more comfortable with gloves on👍👍
Been there done that EZ E...🤘🤘🤘
😂😂 I think we all have, buddy!
Genius!
Thanks man!
Another great video was that Kevlar gloves you were using on the bandsaw I been thinking about picking up a pair I sliced the tip of my fingers off on the bandsaw a little over a month ago and been thinking about picking up some Kevlar gloves if so how do you like them
Thanks, Robert! No, those are just MaxiFlex gloves. I probably should get some kevlar though
@@oldave100 The only problem with wearing gloves the glove could get caught and pull you hand into the blade but on the flip side we know how strong Kevlar is your damn if you do damn if you don’t
Ain't that the truth!😂👍
Artista 👍👍👍🍷🍷
Thank you❤
brilliant
Thank you!👍👍
How would you fix if the letters were inset?
Well, if the letters were inset, you'd have to feather out any bobbles or shaky lines and try to keep it as close to the same size as the others.
Nice video
Thanks, Robb!
Great idea, not that we make misedackes lol
😂😂 oh no, definitely not!😂😂
I loved what you did. Couldn’t you have just carve out an S on another piece of wood and then glued it in place.
Thanks, Greg!. Carving on that small of a piece is a real pain. Plus, you have to sand it down to the height of the board first.
@@oldave100 I see hadn’t thought of that. Guess you’d have to have a piece of wood the right thickness and then the grain would have matched as well as the way you did it.
I make plenty of them lol😂
😂😂You and me both, buddy!
Hey, that technically counts as an inlay, right?😁
😂😂 Actually, I think it is!
Thanks to Biden/Kamala's inflation I can't afford to make any mistakes.
😂😂😂😂😂
