Awesome Sign Making with Resin Inlay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лип 2022
- I'm doing some sign making with resin inlay. I make lots of signs but I wanted to try something different by making a company logo sign (Harley-Davidson), but rather than laser engraving and simply painting the graphics, I instead chose to use my CNC to route out the sign and fill it with an epoxy resin inlay. This allows me to create a perfect color match for the corporate logo, while creating a sign that is both appealing and durable.

Great looking sign man!!!
I'm gonna make 1 today
Have fun! 😁
Great video, nice and layed back, music was perfect as I watched this about an hour of getting out of bed...ahhh nice and soothing as I think about rolling down the highway on the Harley I don't have and looking at the beautiful Harley sign especially on the east coast of Nova Scotia. Ahhh life. Thanks again, quite inspiring actually.
Well I am on the east coast of NS, but I don't own a Harley. I have made lots of these for people who do though. These signs seem to end up hanging in garages in front of the motorcycles. 🙂
Looks good! Love Harley! Combined with classical 💜 I agree with you on the white lettering. May seem weird but a simple thing I do to make things pop a little sometimes, is lightly outline the lettering, image, whatever with pencil before clear coat. Either way I'm sure the neighbor will love it! Keep Shining ✨💎
Great tip!
Well done, like the way you did this sign, and the classical music was on point. Thank you.
Thanks. Hopefully it inspires you to do your own 😁
Watched several resin in lay videos. Your process is much more simple and quick. Wonderful for making family gifts. Great job and I loved your playlist!!🙂
I’m lazy so I take the easiest path 😉
Thank you Steve. Great video and I like the music😊
Glad you enjoyed it
The Music was great. The project turned out pretty cool.
Thanks. I love working with resin
The choice of music was excellent!
Glad you liked it. Sometimes you just need to put the rap music aside and get some good old classical symphony sound. 😀
Thanks for the video is very good and the music you can't never go wrong with classical music.
Gracias.
I won't argue. Classical music soothes me
Hi Steve, thanks for this video, I know it’s been a year but it gives me a lot of new ideas of stuff to make. All the best from across the pond (Netherlands)
Great to hear!
I enjoy your videos and learn from them as well. It's unusual to hear the classics as a music choice, I really don't like the repetitive creative commons dribble that passes for entertainment while a tool is working or the dreaded white space void in sound might appear. There was no having to mute the sound and use close captioning in this video, thanks!
Cool, thanks
Hi Steve, you could turn the white problem into a lit sign. Rout the back to the depth of where the apoxy is without going through it and put a white strip light behind it. Just a quick thought 👍🏻
Yes, though this sign is going to be mounted to a large tree. I have a couple of other sign ideas like this and since I haven't tried to back light epoxy, I might have a new mission😀
Love your videos great music effect and your honesty!!
Thanks. I try to be honest above all. 😀
Great video. I know someone who would love a Harley sign. Thanks again for a very helpful video.
Go make one! Your friend will love it.
Good video buddy! I really liked that kind of music for a change. Enjoyed watching this one.
Jim
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. The music was fine. Thanks for sharing. If I really have to make a remark; your hand is covering the action; we can not see what is happening. We have to guess. Perhaps setting the camera on the right?
Yes sorry. This is one of any disadvantages of being left handed and I have limited space to the right. I probably should have shot the pour on my new overhead camera, but I'm still working out some kinks
Great idea thank you for the video
Enjoyed both music and the video…thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks for all your talent and scaring it
Hope you find it useful
First, and most importantly, thanks for posting. I'm new to this stuff and you are an inspiration. Second, I am a huge fan of Bach. I listen to him all of the time. Third, since you asked, I would venture to say that few, if any people visit your channel to hear music. I would prefer to hear you "drone on" a-k-a providing instruction and insight. Heck, I'd rather hear nothing but tool sounds when I'm watching a video from which I am trying to learn. What you have to say is important and can only come from you. I can get Bach (etc) many other places whenever I want. My two cents..... THANKS
Well this made me laugh. 😁. Got a couple new project videos planned, but customers rule, so I had some paying projects to get out of the way first.
Great video mate. Thanks for sharing.
Happy you found it useful
Great video sir... You are doing a great job
Thanks Tommy
I like the project and enjoyed the video. As a classical music lover, well, no comment. LOL as long as you didn't have to pay for it I guess the music was fine. But really, I didn't come here for the music, I came here to watch you do what you do and you did a good job!
Next time it's heavy metal music! 😉
@@SteveMakesEverything 🤘
Great video Steve, when I think of Harley Davidson I think rock music rather than classical, Lol, but seriously with this type of work the video worked great. As I'm looking into a CNC router I'd be interested in seeing more content about them too. As always Steve awesome job, thankyou. 👌👍
Rock on! I debated something a bit more upbeat, but this is really about the art of making sign rather than the joy of driving the motorcycle😀
@@SteveMakesEverything totally agree Steve, and I certainly hope you'll make more videos using the CNC router and the benefits of using one. 👍
I am going to have new tool envy after seeing this router. Definitely need to see more detailed videos about this router. Music is nice but more upbeat music would be appreciated.
@@cathymyers7831 I have a few CNC projects in my video queue. I try to highlight the Onefinity a bit more.
I thought the music was a very nice touch. Well done!
Thank you very much!
great video! Under the influence of the light the pine will probably get a little darker over time which would benefit the contrast between the white lettering and the wood.
Thanks. Yes it won't take long for the pine to yellow in the sun, so in a month outside it will look at lot better
I like the more soothing music. 👍🏼
Cool!
thanks!
Welcome!
I liked the music.
Thanks
Can this art resin brand be used on shallow inlays say about .o40" deep.
I have some very small detail that can't go any deeper. Would this be a good resin to use for this thin shallow project
Yes you can! This should work fine
How do you hold the wood to the painters tape on the router? I think I might try a syringe for filling the letters. I’d make a mess with the cup. Nice job. As for music, you’ll never please everyone. The haters can turn down the volume.
If you put tape on you CNC work area and the bottom of you material, you can run a bead of super glue on one side and accelerant on the other and just stick the material to the workspace. When you’re finish, just lift the material off and remove the two pieces of tape that are now glued together.
A syringe is a neater way to add the resin but you generally need to come up about the material surface when you pour anyway because resin shrinks as it cures and you want the finished surface to be perfectly smooth
Hi, new subscriber from Brazil. Can you tell me wich cnc router did you use in this ? Thanks
Welcome aboard! I use a Onefinity CNC with a upgraded liquid cooled spindle.
@@SteveMakesEverything thanks ! Keep the good work !
I just did the same thing with a vintage Honda logo. The problem is, 99% of people will never know its epoxy and all the work involved.
It's more tedium than "work". Sometimes you just have to do things because they are fun😀
Can you stain the wood?
The challenge with staining the wood is the amount of sanding involved. Epoxy shrinks as it cures so you might be sanding off an 1/8" of material. I thought about staining the wood after, though I'm not sure what stain would do to epoxy and I didn't try it.
How much is your cncmachine and is it easy to operate?
The price of these machine varies with size and features. But yes the Onefinity is one of the easiest professional CNCs to use.
Did I miss something? I didn’t see where he seals the cuts to prevent the epoxy from wicking into the grain.
That whole process seem a bit overrated to me, so I don’t usually do this and I’ve never seen any significant issues.
A THOUGHT, YOU 0MIGHT THE RESIIN AN OLD CATSUP OR MUSTARD PLASTIC W THE SPOTTER EASIER SPPLICATION. . . ..
For anything precise I use a syringe. This one is pretty easy because everything needs to be sanded anyway. It’s only critical that the colors don’t mix so it can be done in a couple of different resin pours if required
💃 ƤＲＯ𝓂Ｏ𝕤ᗰ
Music SUX out loud!! The only people I know that would have listened to that have been dead ☠️ for 40 years!! And there’s not a Harley Davidson that would even think about listening to it!! Wanted to see how the sign turned out but couldn’t take the music any longer!!
Hopefully you aren’t into Rap music 😉
