"You know that means no." I am not even married and I know that means no. Good video and nice warning about not dropping the bits. For something that works so hard, they can be quite brittle.
Very well explained, loved it. I'm thinking about getting into this hobby & undecided on my first CNC machine. Thank you for your efforts in taking the time & walking thru.
my wife actually said no. I still did it. my shapeoko, my lathe, and now my 60 watt laser engraver. after I bought each tool she began putting in orders for what she wanted me to make.
I had the same experience about hesitating about accumulating another expensive fleeting interest when I got my laser cutter, but in this case it was a brilliant purchase, and it has paid for itself several times as well as given me infinite creative inspiration over the 3 years since I got it.
I'm an old guy like you that's been married for a long time. I feel your pain. Great video. I'm looking at buying a CNC machine myself and have to run it by the wife as well.
Nice to see someone of your age embracing this amazing technology and doing a damn good job with it. The signs look amazing. I'm building a hobby CNC and soaking up ideas. Was nice to see both sides of the actual cutting and your sincerity has earned you a rare sub from me :)
Great video. I'm just wondering if you might itemise your costs for us all. It strikes me that you may have under charged for these signs after all your costs.......paint (x3 colours + clear coats), oramask, paint rollers and brushes, timber, time spent purchasing items, working on V-Carve, time on the actual job etc. Also, which Oramask film did you use. I notice that there are several grades.
amzn.to/3irZoCE. Is the Oramask I ordered. Haven’t taken the time to calculate how much I really make after all the work…it would probably make me angry…anyway, I’m having fun, so it’s not critical
Clicked it for the CNC video. Sub'd for the married couple humor. :) Currently building a CNC machine from scratch myself. Nice to see some of the steps that are needed 'after' the build. Currently everything in our channel is Open Source based. So I may start off trying to do my 3D-Modeling in Blender and using LinuxCNC to drive my rig. But if I ever reach a point of trying to monetize the work I might have to spend the money for the Vectric software. Most everyone seems to agree on it being the best.
Really enjoyed your video. I'm soon going to be purchasing a CNC to play around with and your video was very helpful. I have a tip for you if you care to consider it. I'm a painter by trade and this may save you some time and help with the life of your signs. The tip is to use a clear wood primer. This will have a couple different benefits for you. After you apply your masking to your sign and have finished cutting, brush in the clear primer. This will seal the edges of the masking preventing the finish colors from bleeding behind the masking. Once its dry you can now either brush on the finish or since the wood is now sealed with primer you can spray paint the finish and it will cover much better than it did without the primer. The signs will also last longer due to the primer. You can get a product like Killz Klear primer at Home Depot or Lowes. Hope this helps Thanks for the video, I'm subscribed and look forward to more.
Thanks for the comment. Great idea on the primer! I’ll try that on the next one I do. I’m especially worried about how long these are going to last. I’m in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina and we get snow and freezing in the winter. Will be a real pain if they all degrade quickly…I’ll have to replace all of them and that’s no fun…
Since it has been seven months since your last upload......I guess cnc and UA-cam went the same way the guitar/ukulele playing and fly tying. Oh well!! You always deleted my comments anyway!!
I was looking at making outdoor signs but am concerned about the life of the sign. Sign companies claim 2 -3 years is not acceptable. I saw you mentioned 1.5 years so far. Any thoughts about life expectancy and what is acceptable?
It is nice to see a gent of my age having a go from scratch. One is never to old until it is too late! I am going to build one, with several uses in mind. I appreciate and endorse some of the comments, but stumbling in the dark is part of learning. To get a fine edge and surface, another person bulk cuts the material and finishes with a finer, slower pass with the same tool. He is not using pine though. To stop bleeding he also spray paints the cut area with clear coat to seal, and then applies the final paint. I subscribed.
The dream killer also known as a wife. You young guys that want to get married and think you'll be living the dream, well think again. Sell you car. Sell your clubs. Sell your fishing rod and just settle in and play the ring game. Thanks for showing us the process you do to make those signs. I'm in the market for a cnc. I was curious when you were rotating that triangle, I couldn't see an area where you could enter a degree instead of moving it with the mouse.
Thanks for the no-nonsense and straight-to-the-point video! I loathe when people spend 5 minutes to just even get on topic, and waste a lot of time on tangents and the minutiae of their lives. Great job. :-)
Yes... definitely possible to make a good living from a proper. professional CNC router (engraving machine). We started engraving in 2013, and now sell to over 1700 companies and corporations, in 22 countries around the world. So... a CNC machine can make you money... BUT... like anything you want to make and sell, getting market traction is the real key. Unless you find paying customers, you can have the finest machinery in the world, and it won't make you a penny. So this is not about getting a CNC machine. This is really about running a business - and as I say, it makes no difference how fancy your machine, or how professional your products... Unless you get traction in the market, all of this means nothing. Our business is 100% online, and we spent over £50,000 in our first year with Google advertising - but we brought in over £100,000 in sales. After other business costs, we made no profit in our first year. In fact, we only started being profitable in year 3. Today - 9 years later - we've reduced our adspend to less than a tenth of what we spent in our first 2 years, and our websites have good orgnanic results traction on major search engines. Our websites are highly sophisticated, custom-built eCommerce portals, designed to enable easy and fast ordering, easy payments and deal easily with customer enquiries, which are often very complex. If you want to go out and get a high-quality CNC router (or a professional engraving machine), then consider FIRST how you are going to get paying customers... Otherwise your fancy machine will sit idle in the corner of the garage, to be used for an occasional hobby item.
The tails of you triangle is taller at the top than the bottom. The triangle need to be brought down a half space. Check is before you save it for the future…
Sir thank you for your video. I am going to like and subscribe to help you out. I can’t finish watching right now but hope I will be able to this afternoon. May I ask what your machine cost you and where the best place to purchase is? Thank you so much!!..
Great video and step by step explanation. I have been woodworking for many years and am considering a CNC as a way to expand my skills and keep me busy in retirement. Thanks for sharing your process.
Sir thank you for taking the time to record this. I am a two year old liver transplant and i am disabled for the rest of my life. I just ordered my first cnc machine and looking to make a living doing and well making things. Steve
signs are an easy way to make funds. and there are so many possibilities out there. second time ive watched this . greatr vid thanks for your insight. it got me making signs for teachers and got me making a little pocket money.
Awesome 👌,,but its to cheap what your charging...and that is why I closed down my sign shop, people expected me to give them retirement prices and thats the only income for me and my family...
This is a GREAT video. And you did good. Beautiful signs. I have the same habit, got lots of hobbies. My brother always told me, pick one and stick with...😂
Hey, you can practice more guitar and show it was a good investment. Congratulations on you CNC machine and you well done signs. Take a look on the internet for CNC projects to help you have more ideas.
Never said I was making a ton of money…just trying to help people who want to try to justify the cost of a CNC machine. I’m OK with competition. Hope you got something out of the video…thanks!
I hear ya…I’ve been raising prices slowly, but still believe I’m only making $15 to $20 an hour. Good thing I don’t need the money to pay bills…I have enjoyed doing it, but when it starts becoming a job, I’ll quit
To reduce or reduce the effect of seepage under the oramask make you first coat of paint black the same as your base colour then apply the white letter paint. Your came out great.
i have owned a Shapeoko for about 6 years and have made several address signs. Your video was a great help and has convinced me to get back into signs after a two-year hiatus. I had been using Inkscape but the Vetric software looks more direct from design to ready to carve. Thanks
great presentation . Cost to purchase materials etc is always a hard one to factor in for the total price. Time to go. min order . how much to keep in stock. tooling and parts etc . But for a simple "extra money " type income. Its all down to contacts . trouble is every man and their dog is buying these machines end printers etc !
I think if I took the time to actually figure out what my true cost is in time and materials, I’d be pretty disappointed. Luckily, I just do this for money to buy more tools and toys…
I saw my future right now :D With my acoustic guitar, 12 string acoustic guitar, ukulele, fly tying kit, few fly rods, small woodworking shop and yes.. I have no CNC router, only new small 3D printer. I'm still waiting for a good time to buy CNC router :) But my wife only say "if you want it, then buy it" on new equipment every time.
I might have been exaggerating about her comment, but she’s happy I bought it now. I’ve been paying for all my tools and “toys” with money I made on the CNC for over a year. I do like my hobbies!
Good point, but I play golf four times a week, fly fish and tie flies once or twice, play tennis or pickleball twice a week and work out almost every day…I’d say I’m not wasting much of my life having fun making stuff. When it starts to feel like real work…I’m over it. Thanks for the comment!
Nice work. Invest in quality sign paint if you don't want to have to fix your work in a couple of years. 1 Shot or Ronan make high quality sign paints.
I love the project. Came out nice. I just don’t get the programming/setup part. I don’t have any of the tech training to understand how you work the program in general or how you knew what bits to select. I know over time I’d get it but there’s no place near me to practice and the machines are really expensive
Thanks for the video. I was looking for software thoughts for sign making. If I could offer a small thought: After the CNC work is done, spray the freshly cut edges with a clear coat. The clear coat will seep under the edge. As it is invisible, (or use the same colour paint that is there, looks black to me) when you paint the white, the places where it will seep under will be sealed already. This means that when you peel back the masking, it will have less seepage. I hope that makes sense. Best J
Great idea! I’ve only had a very few spots where the lettering paint seeped under the oramask, so I’ve just been doing a small touch up. I’ll try some clear finish next time and see how that works…thanks for the comment!
I run that vectric software mate and it is fantastic... the learning curve is spot on ..very intuitive and they have heaps of video's to get you familiar with it...
HOW MUCH YOUR CNC . i want do that ive just start learning my cnc work in my boss company but not wood, its PCB for shower base . i just start learning the Camart prog. then i realize its good in wood bussiness but im thinking the price of the machine the cnc im working is thrice bigger than that ... thanks ive learn a lot in your video. and i recognized the the logo in the old wood sign it like kiwi logo maybe ur in new Zealand
Way to go Marty, I didn't know I needed one of these until I watched this video. BTW, don't let that guitar gather too much dust, playing it more will make you a better woodworker.
Thank you for share your experience, it is very usefull

I kinda just jumped in with a leap of faith…now I’m glad I did!
Thanks for the video.
I was looking for software thoughts for sign making.
If I could offer a small thought:
After the CNC work is done, spray the freshly cut edges with a clear coat. The clear coat will seep under the edge. As it is invisible, (or use the same colour paint that is there, looks black to me) when you paint the white, the places where it will seep under will be sealed already. This means that when you peel back the masking, it will have less seepage.
I hope that makes sense.

HOW MUCH YOUR CNC . i want do that ive just start learning my cnc work in my boss company but not wood, its PCB for shower base . i just start learning the Camart prog. then i realize its good in wood bussiness but im thinking the price of the machine the cnc im working is thrice bigger than that
... thanks ive learn a lot in your video. and i recognized the the logo in the old wood sign it like kiwi logo maybe ur in new Zealand
I did visit New Zealand once and loved the country…I am located in the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina.
you can put the used roller into the fridge. for a few days. and they are ready to go after 15 minutes or so
Never heard of that…I’ll have to try it. How do you explain it to your wife?
What kind of masking are you using?
