I gotta say Eric, your videos and instructional info have helped my sign company grow very quickly in fact I can hardly keep up w my custom orders I'm thinking of brining on a helper. Thanks beau
Dude!! That's awesome!! I'm stoked for you👍👍👍 Would you be willing to email me a kind of summary of how you found us, got started making signs and where your business is now? ryan@makeawoodsign.com
Thanks guys! My first sign 1/9/24. I made two mistakes; too much paint and shallow carving on smaller letters. I actually sanded so much I lost the details of the letters. I had to mask the board with tape and re-do the letters. I learned a lot with this first sign!! Thanks again. Tim Halleran
Awesome, man! You're gonna learn more and more and it honestly keeps getting more fun! When you're ready, send dad a picture of one of your signs so we can show it off on a SCOTD episode eric@makeawoodsign.com
Excellent tips ,i use a black and decker dn66 router, they don't even make them anymore but I can still find them on ebay or marketplace, I'm on my 8th machine..it works for me..🤣👍
Just thinking - done so few times these days...Love the caps BUT they make it hard to see your eyes..."eyes are the doors to the mind" Some lower light stands wood (see what I did) help. Cheers
Thanks guys for the tips. I have a bunch of dull bits that I cant get anyone up here across the line to sharpen. Have to find an excuse to come and visit you folk for a day or two haha Being in the Pacific NW during the winter Im lucky if I can get boards under 15% have to let them sit in my heated shop for a couple of weeks.
Ya, being up in that area I imagine it would be pretty tough to find good lumber. I guess you'd better come on down and hang out with us for a couple months!
awesome explanation! I bought a larger router for better control but I see a solid bigger base on my trim router would have helped. Still nice having a new shop toy ; )
Great info really enjoy your videos as I learn. I want to order some templates just wondering if your still having issues with your website? Maybe it’s me. Thanks
I really like the Skil router I recently bought. It came with a plunge base, but it's also fully acrylic on the bottom, really easy to see what you're doing. It's a 2hp, fairly heavy, but I can put my hands around the acrylic base and move it around. Kinda feels like I'm using an ouija board.😄
Your bits and base plate are game changers! Can’t imagine doing signs without them.
Thank you Lou, we appreciate you❤

Thank you buddy, appreciate you watching and the feedback❤
those were really great tips for new carvers and great reminders for the experienced carver
Thanks Pam! It's always good to get a little reminder here and there HAHA
Always exceptional advice! Thanks guys!!😊
Thank you, Susan!
Another excellent video. Where did you drum up those 3 bits at the beginning.
Thanks Don! Dad found those in a pile of old stuff we have. There's quite a bit of old stuff around here HAHA
So is a DeWalt 611 still a good choice? It's the one I got when I first started with y'all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s definitely a great router, we've just transitioned to more battery operated tools.
Love the tips! Great video guys. Thanks for the help. Hope you're all having a fantastic time at the Tribe Counsel! Wish I could be there.
Thanks so much, Donna! We had a great time, and we'll be doing it next year for sure!
Great info guys!
Thanks Matt!
Great info Guys. Thanx
Thank you Roy❤

Ty guys
Thank you John❤
Excellent video and great tips!!
Thanks Frank! We miss you guys already, HAHA!
@@oldave100 Thanks again for a great weekend!!! It was a great turnout!!!
Love the cordless routers. Every time I use a corded router the cord would catch on something. Ruined many signs because of it.
It took me a long time, but I'm a huge fan of the cordless routers now.
That sign looks ace behind you hahahaha
HAHAHA i thought so too!
Thanks.
Thank you for watching❤
Depth is always my problem.
Just keep at and play. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you, eric@makeawoodsign.com

HAHA that's a great analogy!
The gospel from the Rhoten's. Yes, I belong to oversprayers anonymous. It's my curse. I'm working on it. Thanks for the reminders.
HAHA it's a hard habit to break, buddy!
