Thanks for this! I'd like to make signs, but can't afford the steep price tag of a cnc machine and wanted to start first with a handheld router. Glad you can get similar results!
Nicely done, very much so nicely done. Watched someone else do the same thing but its a night and day with your routing and finish. The CNC bits did a great job, the other person used a V bit as wide as the letters so end result was alot of chisel carving and uneven depths along with non exact cuts. These bits are perfect, I dont know I would have thought of that. Hopefully I can hold these old hands steady enough but I guess we'll find out. Nicely done, very nicely done.

Another great project Shane. May I ask, when you apply the linseed oil do you go over the black paint in the letters as well? Just to clarify for me if routing outset letters you route to the outside of the letter and inset letters route on the inside. Keep up the great work buddy, love watching your videos.
Thanks Mike, I tend to go over the whole project with the linseed oil,it won't do the black paint any harm and it all dries the same..like you say outset is outside the lettering, basically removing the back piece,and inset is just removing the inside of the letters ,if you check my latest video, beach life sign I mention inset and outset..
Thankyou, I get most of my bits from Ebay or Amazon, search cnc router bits, the collet is a 6.35mm to 3.175mm adapter reducer collet also Ebay,cnc bits come in different degrees, you can get a mixed pack with 10°,15°,20°,30° in side..

Loved the video, but I have 1 question. When you routed the horizontal lines from side to side, did you stop the router right where the painted area was, or did you have the router set more shallow so it didn't disrupt the painted area? Thanks for taking the time to make it! Doug
Thank you Doug,on this one I had the lettering routed out slightly lower then the lines,I suppose you could do the lines at deeper depth then the lettering, then paint afterwards ,either way would work..😁👍
Hi Shane loved the video, inspired me no end. I have tried to click on your links with what and where with the router bits, but it doesn't work, Could you please send me the links. Thanks Steve
This is an attractive sign. I love the font. I was a little puzzled as to how you were going to do the plank effect. I thought that you were you going to ruin the sign with the additional routed lines. It was really quite simple, wasn't it? You just didn't route as deep a line when you cut the plank effect. It's amazing what a simple bloke like me learns everyday here on UA-cam. Thanks for the video. I love everything that you do.
I've never had a vacuum, I wish I did..on my older videos I just brush the dust away,you dont get alot with pine.but now I have a mini compressor with an airline that runs up to the router.you can see the tube in the video, now when I need to clean I just blow it away by tapping my foot on a pad on the floor...works great.
