- Making an awesome old school vintage looking 3D sign of my logo using copper and old weathered barnwood. I used some simple tools and a bandsaw to build this really unique sign that will hang in my shop.

This looks AMAZING! You should mount it to the front of your car.
Thats a great idea
Can we get an update video on what it looks like mounted to the front of the car?
Looks great love the two tone color and i love copper
Started to watch your videos and you do Awsome work.
Gorgeous!
That looks fantastic!
I know this is few years old but man cool sign and awesome logo.
Amaing stuff, thankyou.
Perfection
Great work, Chris! The different materials work really well together.
Thanks Alan!
Excellent job very well executed. The signage and the proportions of the sign itself are pleasing to the eye. Say hi to Utz for me Cheers from Port Elizabeth.
Thanks so much. Ill definitely give Utz a pat on the head for ya
very nice
Thanks bud
Sub'd because of this video. Well done, bro.
Thanks so much for the support, much appreciated!
Typo amazing
That looks awesome, how do you keep the copper from turning green?
copper wont turn green upless its exposed to a lot of moiture. usually it just turned darker brown. put I coated it with wax to keep it bright
Light it up with neon
Is Utz a Spinone?
nope, he is a drahthaar.
That is just flipppin gorgeous man. Love mixing materials like that. The copper really pulls it all together. Exceptionally well done!!!
Thanks so much. I definitely appreciate that!
It really ties the room together, man.
Dude such a sick build ! Well done
Thanks brother! I can picture your logo looking AMAZING with these colors too.
Logo is great, I like it. Maybe a sheet of aluminum on the blade of the drawknife with "hand made" written in black could add a classy detail. I would make a test with a tin foil to see the effect, because adding a third color to the logo could end in a design too colored for the eyes, but it also could add emphasys and importance to the writing "hand made" and recall the steel of the tools,focusing a potential customer on that detail (hand made).
You are a wizard on that bandsaw! Great logo and project!
haha I dont know about that, just slow and steady. thanks :)
Really digging the combination of black, copper,and the barn wood. Nice work!
Thanks bud, I love how it turned out too
This really something to be proud of son. I can’t think of a thing you could have done any better. I love the contrast of the colors and the copper/wood combination. Great job son!
Thanks so much Becky!
Scroll saw: Excalibur if you can afford it, DeWalt if not. Clear coat on the copper or ver de gris later? Thank you for keeping with this channel. Peace.
Thanks for the scroll saw tips. I have definitely been wondering if a scroll saw would have made this easier. Ive never used one.
Excellent job. The logo really pops and looks very vintage.
Thank you. I love the results
Holy crap dude. Your stuff is next level. You videos are by far my most looked forward to projects right now. This sign inspired me to contact a local artist to get my own branding done.
Thanks so much Jacob, I really appreciate that man!
I really like the idea of raising the copper sheet letters using the ply, great idea I'm totally going to copy :)
Yea it really turned out cool!
Excellent job. The contrasting colors and materials work perfect together.
Definitely! Thank you
Scroll saw alternative to coping/fret saw. Use mine more than I thought I would, picked it up at an auction. Definitely going to hit up W70 and see what he can do. Enjoy the work you do, keep it rolling! And I love my third coast t-shirt...
yes I definitely thought a scroll saw would be nice
Turned out awesome. You nailed it with the copper look. For some reason copper has that vintage timeless look and works well with wood. Keep the videos going and make sure you put the wired German in your videos. I have a English bulldog in my that never leaves the shop. Great job!!!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate that and yes I gotta agree copper is timeless :)
WOW!!! You couldn't have done it any better Chris, You Nailed It !!!!👍👍
Thanks man. I dont think I would change a thing
🔨
Man that looked tedious! Turned out great! I think the logo matches your brand and channel.
tedious indeed, but well worth the work! I think its a good match too!
I’ve seen Jimmy Diresta do this 50 times, unoriginal, UNSUBSCRIBE!
Kidding of course, came out great! Love the copper and barn wood combo. I’m actually wearing your shirt as I write this. Great tip on the coping saw blade orientation, and that parallax slider shot of you filing was awesome.
YouCanMakeThisToo Hahahahahahaha!
well for one Jimmy has done everything 50 times, and two im trying to ride his curtails hahaha. I actually would have never thought to make signs if it wasnt for his videos.
I bet you are excited to try your slider out too :)
Third Coast Craftsman I am excited! Especially seeing the results you’ve been getting with it.
So totally original idea here, you should make some “Utz paws” and use those in your project to make stuff.
I thought of Jimmy's sign as well.
I think you mean "trying to ride his coattails." Curtail means something else. Nice channel, keep up the good work.
Utz! Great,great,great sign and work! Keep at it!
haha. thanks buddy!
This is awesome! I’ve been trying to figure out how I want to build my own shop logo sign lately and this gives me a lot of inspiration. Also jus subbed your channel. Thanks!
Thanks Blake. The support is appreciated and Im glad the video gave you some inspiration!
This is gorgeous, looking at doing something very similar with copper but with some back / under lighting.
Quick question - band saw, what type of blade did you use for cutting both the copper and wood together?
So sweet! Utz might need one for his dog house!
I should make Utz a sign haha
Oh its so shiny! The copper turned out nice, but I really like the fact you did something I hadn't seen before. Taking risks is awesome.
Thanks Nate. I gotta agree taking risks is awesome. if you fail, you learned something. If you dont fail you are rewarded! Win win really
It looks great, Chris! I really like the copper elements. I love the vintage look to your new logo too. I had a logo drawn up a few years ago, and it has some similar flourishes and hand drawn elements. (I don't use it as a profile pic right now, but I might in the future. If you've seen my videos, you've probably seen it.)
Thanks bud. Yea a logo like this doesnt do great as a profile pic as there is a lot going on, but I just cant do a "modern" logo. It doesnt fit me
I am over the top impressed with how this sign came out. Mixed materials, 3D and of course the logo is fantastic. When we talked about this, I couldn't have envisioned just how nice it would look when complete. Great Job Chris. Look forward to the next time we can hang out.
Thanks Chad. I had a hard time envisioning it as well and am pretty happy with how it turned out. Yea im definitely looking forward to next time we can hang out too!
Loved the sign great work great results. Also liked the USAF flag in the back ground. Are you a USAF vet?
Thanks bud! yup i'm a usaf vet
Wow wow wow 😱😱😱 Sutch an amasing peace of art !!!! You can’t do better than this you have your perfict sign i would’t change a thing , it’s timeless . Continue the great work 😎👍🏼🇨🇦
Thank you. Its going to look great hangin in the shop for years to come :)
Good job buddy! I use a program called split print for the images, but that works too....
Love it, man! That looks so sharp! And that slider shot! :o Great vid!
Thanks bud. Yea the slider shots are sweet. A pain to set up but worth it haha
Is the reason you used plywood instead of MDO is because it was going to be hung in your shop rather than outside? Great video as always...thanks!
yup pretty much
I have almost used up my bottle of quick and thick. It's become my go to glue for small projects.
Im totally digging that glue!
Like it! I think you achieved the look you wanted. Are you using a standard wood blade on your band saw when cutting the copper?
yup just a standard blade.
Are you planning to seal the copper or let it patina? Would look great either way. If you let it patina, you will have to make a followup vid after it turns blue & green.
I am sealing it. I want it to keep bright so the words stand out.
Looks great. Perhaps some small highly polished steel as highlights on the copper lettering would give it that final bit of contrast between the similar values of the copper and the barn wood colors to the eye.
Yeah, and a protective final coat to keep everything just how you want it.
Sweet!! I shop at Michigan Barn Wood and Salvage also!! Signed turned out great!!
Thanks man!
That’s absolutely beautiful! What did you end up doing with it?
The sign looks stinking awesome. The copper really makes it. Nice work!
Thanks Chris. Much appreciated man!
Its cool now but wait till the copper begin to oxidize and get the greenish white color that will really make it rustic I personly watch for ootz the woodwork is a bonus
I need to include Utz more for sure haha thanks for watching
great sign bud I hand carved mine but have to say love your it stands out and shouts of pride
Beautiful! This is very nice!
Thank you!
Looks great. I was skeptical about the copper against barnwood but it added a nice accent.
Thanks!
Really great look! well done man
Thanks bud!
looks great only suggestion would be to try some wooden handles on the draw knife. may be take an old handle and split it down the center and set it on top of the existing handles
thats a cool idea!
That is excellent and I wouldn't change any of your design!
Thanks Tom!
Excellent work! good contrast I wouldn't change a thing!
Thanks Mike. It turned out good
Why no more cap is available on your website? Because I want to buy one of those
I have to order some more sorry
Wow that is nice. I didn't know what it would turn out like but I love it.
Thanks Darin. I had the same thoughts at first haha
Awesome Sign. The only thing you could have done better would be to make two of them. An Excellent Video and thanks for sharing your amazing craftsmanship.
if I was reincarnated I wanted to be you dude 😂🤣 if you don't mind 😅
bahahahaha. Best comment ever!
That came out so awesome! And does not look all that hard. Did you design your logo?
No its not hard, just takes some time and patience. I had a professional help me design the logo. check out the description for his info
Tabela çok güzel oldu. Gerçekten sanatçısınız. Tebrik ediyorum.
NICE! Load of work but great sign ... for your garage?
Thanks Clyde. Yes its for my garage/shop :)
Class A stuff right there. W70 is the stuff to. Great job!!!
yea he has skills!
Looks great! That DiResta guy would approve.lol
haha. Hes the man!
I love it. That is really great.
How are you planning to hang it up?
Im hanging on a sliding closer door rail in front of some shelves. that way I can slide in back and forth to access the shelves behind it.
Love your Logo design and your choice of materials for the sign. Nice work!
Thank you! im pretty happy with the end result too :)
Wow!! That looks fantastic! Very sharp.
Thanks Keith
Looks really good but I think it would look even better if you did something to patina the copper too. Either way, it looks good!
Turned out beautiful man. All good complementing colors.
Thank you! much appreciated!
That’s awesome. The copper and black really look good against the barnwood.
Thanks. I love that comboi
Great video and beautiful work.
Wow Chris! You nailed it man, looks great. Hey have you ever considered doing an about you video (I.e. When and how you got into woodworking, some of your favorite tools, things you found that have helped you) I'm just starting out so any advice you have id take. Anyways keep up the great videos, they're easy to watch and nicely put together.
Hi Ben, thanks for the kind words. yes I have thought about doing some vidoes like that. I might start a series like that soon.
Simply Beautiful work Chris!
Thanks man!
Awesome all around man. Video is mint to!!!
Vic
Thanks man!
Very nice. Just curious, what part did your dog do?
Just moral support haha
This is great! Excellent craftsmanship. Did you design this logo?
Genius!
How many hours did it take to make it, the sign look awsome.
probably 15-20
Noticed the Air Force flag in the background. Are you a veteran? Nice job on the sign btw.
I am. Thanks :)
Thank you for your service. I'm Retired USAF
That looks fantastic! Ive been struggling to come up with a new design for my stores sign, and while that style doesn't fit my brand, it definitely put me on the right track. Thanks!
yea you definitely want the logo to match you brand. The thing about a good graphic designer is that they have you fill out a big long brief and you talk about the what you are looking for to come up just the right thing
BEAUTIFUL SIGN! If you want to add some cool shadowing, using a torch to roast the wood below the lettering is a very cool effect I use and add a unique charm to it. Well done 👍
Nice bro, tnx for sharing it, new suscriber here!!
Thanks man! much appreciated!
Looks cool man, maybe adding a patina to the copper could add something.
Ill let it patina naturally for a little bit and then seal it. I dont want it too dark and blend with the barnwood
From the Southeast side of the lower peninsula, bravo friend. That thing is beautiful. You just inspired my next sign project for a friend's first born. Keep up the good work, and tell Utz he's a good boy.
Thanks Neighbor!
The copper worked PERFECT!
Your work is awe inspiring AND inspirational. I love your work ALMOST as much as I love your dawg!
OUTSTANDING. LOVE the 2 color. The metal and wood idea is great. You my man are an artist. P>S> Your doggie is so damn cute.
How do you like your Powermatic band saw? I've begun looking at upgrading my current Delta 14". Laguna was at the top of my list until I saw a review on one of their higher end bandsaws. It revealed very poor engineering as well as horrible Customer support. I'm looking at other manufacturers and I am considering a Powermatic. You and Marc Spagnolo from the Wood Whisperer are the only craftsmen I follow that have Powermatics. He's sponsored by them.
I would LOVE to get sponsored by powermatic. They are probably the best tool manufacturer out there. I would definitely recommend getting one.
Thank you! I’ll begin looking more seriously at the Powermatic. BTW.... Great sign!
What is that red coping saw? Very nice!
Thats a knew concepts fret saw. its great for dovetails.
very nice sign, you show amazing patience and detail. I really like your work
Awesome love the copper and reclaimed boards
Thanks Ian!
Awesome looking Logo sign, great job!!!
Thanks Dale
Awesome!!
We’re about to post a sign making video on Wednesday. But after watching yours now I don’t know if I want to 😋 it’s so nice! I’ve got to up my skills. Thanks for the inspiration. It’s beautiful!
haha. thanks so much man. Ill keep an eye out for yours :)
Looks awesome!
What a great looking sign. I love the copper added....great choice.
It's December now I'm watching so ...
I hope you and your family have happy holidays.
