    The font does seem a bit utilitarian. But it's not supposed to be fancy. It's good to see some real world experience because I'm often being tempted by similar things.

    • @GrumpysWorkshop4

      Yeah i wasnt too keen on the font but i think its growing on me. For £40 its not too shabby.

    Great review video showing what you get in the box, how it works and what it actually does - you made a very nice job of the lettering. Good to see you back in the workshop.

    That’s the kit I got, same price too, had to buy it at that price 😂. Only done some signs for my grandchildren so far, but finding it a great kit and using the supplied base is the way to go. I’ve since bought the smaller letters, cutters & guide bush, but not got around to using those yet.

    I wish you could buy different fonts. Milescraft have missed an opportunity there i reckon. I bought the rutland kit as the font is much better. Not arrived yet. So not tried it. Yiu actually make that font look half decent. There advertising pics make it look awful. Hence why I didn't buy. The rail system however looks excellent. Good straight forward video. I will be subscribing. Cheers.

    Which kit do you think is better? This one or the Rockler one?
    Bear’s Workshop UK leant me one of these to try. I’ve had it months and not got around to using it yet. I found the Rockler one so bad, it’s put me off signwriting.

    • @GrumpysWorkshop4
      @GrumpysWorkshop4  3 роки тому

      This set is way better. Best to use the base plate provided not the plunge base i used. Because this kit raises the letters off the work piece its easier to guide the router. Just remember to stop the router before lifting it from the template or you risk damaging the letters. Give it a go mate, try on a scrap board

      Rutlands had a weekend price drop. Think its back at the usual price now. If you sign up with them you get emails when they have flash deals. Keep an eye open as its the 2nd time they've dropped the price recently on this kit.
