Love your videos man. Inspired me to do my own props instead of buying them already built. I will be reaching out to you on Etsy for a future purchase. Keep up the great content!!!!
Hey papa, I just happen to come across your videos and so far so good. Thanks y bendiciones para ti y tu familia!!! FYI, I'm about to retire and build a 16x20 shed to use as my shop. Can't wait to be in there more time!!
Hey, whats up thanks for watching the channel! Oh man that's my goal to build a work shed so I can get more tools lol. I am running out of space in this garage for sure. Hopefully in a couple of years, thanks for commenting and good luck on your Work Shed!
Your videos are awesome. I purchased all your last number marquee number templates but we were super intimidated. The ones with the angles and measurements are going to be so much easier to follow.... we will have to purchase those templates instead... I love your videos and so funny the 7 was backwards, we mess up stuff all the time, and love that you keep this in your videos.. Thanks for your tips and tricks.
Thank you so much for your support and glad my videos have helped you! If you have any questions along the way, just message the Etsy store. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you so much for the support! Good luck and if you have any questions just message the Etsy store as I take longer to reply on TH-cam, lol. But Etsy is same day, usually quick.
The challenge for me is knowing what the angles should be when cutting certain pieces. Will you be making a video that shows that specifically? Thanks very much for your content
Hey man been watching a lot of your builds over the last year. My wife is starting her own rental business and I love to woodwork. Thanks for the inspiration and keep doing your thing. Do you have a package where you can buy the plans to all letters and numbers instead of individually?
Hi, thank you so much glad my videos have helped. And I am sorry right now I am only able to group the Letters and the Numbers together due to the size of the files. I actually barely was able to fit all the files for the Alphabet together to fit into the Etsy download program. Since I include the PDF plans, svg, dxf, PDF printer friendly stencils for each letter. It takes up so much space and if I add any more it will not fit into the Etsy platform that holds the files and sends them to you when you purchase instantly. I would have to move everything offsite to a gmail and have people go there to download the files and I know that would be difficult for some and end up not being able to download the files easily. So for now they have to be separated as it is easier for me and people who purchase the plans for instant download. I hope this makes sense and good luck on your family's future business!!
Hey!! Thank you so much for this video! To be honest the only question I have is what exact cable do you use for the bulbs?? I’m trying to find a small one like that
Hi, nah your good. I used 1 inch-1/4 screws. I wouldn't use longer than that. You can use 1 inch as well. The attachment is called right angle drill adapter. Hope this helps and good luck!
Hi, the circular saw will be possible to create the angles and straight cuts. A jig saw is recommended for the letter cutouts? Not sure what tool has the vertical string? But if you are making a lot of letters the miter saw is a great tool for the angles. Hope this helps and if you have any questions please let me know or you can message the Etsy store. Thank you
Hey there! So overall for these projects, do you recommend a miter saw, circular saw, and a jigsaw? I noticed that you mentioned a miter saw but then started using a circular saw with the jig. Sorry I’m new to this and I’m trying to figure out what to buy in order to make Marquee letters and some backdrop designs. Would you recommend all three? I would ideally like to buy 1-2 things that will cover almost all bases 😭
Hi, I use different options and it really just depends on your budget. I will tell you all three will make it easier on you to make it. But you can do the whole build with a jigsaw and circular saw. Because the circular saw has the bottom plate that can be angled to cut the angles as well. I also believe most jigsaws have the option to cut at an angle as well. As you can do a lot with only a jigsaw and a circular saw. Most of my builds are built around those two builds. But for marquees and cutting the angles a miter saw is 100% easier than adjusting a circular saw each time. So if you were making more than one marquee the miter saw will definitely show the difference. especially if you are new to woodworking, the miter saw helps get clean straight cuts. The circular saw and jigsaw take some practice to cut straight. So if I had to pick two it would either be a circular saw and jigsaw, or jigsaw and miter saw. I hope that makes sense and good luck! Thanks for the support!
The one I did was 1/2 inch by 4 inch wide. But you can change it to which ever you prefer. I have made them 6 inch wide before. But prefer the 4 inch for weight. I do make the bottom longer in the back to put some weight for outdoors. Good luck!
Hi, I purchased the templates for the 4ft numbers. We were wondering what did you use to make the holes for the lights. So far, we have used 1 1/4 inch hole saws to make the holes and they are too big. Please help! Thanks...☺
Hi, thank you for your support. Sorry for the late reply. If you message the Etsy store I usually reply right back. I check TH-cam every couple of days. But to answer your question, I left it open to your preference. Meaning there are so many different options for lighting and I didn't want to say use mine. You can order from Amazon Christmas lights, go to Walmart, Home Depot, etc. to get your lights. Then the route you choose to make the hole sizes is depending on the light style you chose as they are all different. But if you go to this video linked below at the 8 min 33 second mark I discuss how to find the size for the light bulbs you have. th-cam.com/video/lvK22KldVRY/w-d-xo.html I can tell you that if you made some bigger than expected it is ok as long as you use a basic hand held staple gun to secure the wire before and after the bulb it will hold it in place easily. I never use to and just relied on the snug fit. But after using the staple gun it makes it so much easier and holds the bulb up straight so much better. Also I made a second video showing how to create your own lights and both these videos should have some great info to help. th-cam.com/video/HQxca0VqOAs/w-d-xo.html But if you have any additional questions just message the Etsy account and I can help the best I can. Thank you and good luck!
Hello friend, which wood do you use, do you have the link to amazon to see the characteristics of the wood, in other countries they have different names. Thank you.
@@MakerDecor Friend, I already bought the prints. I already bought the machines. I just need the wood and to go out to sell. Wish me luck, believe it or not, you are an inspiration for some Argentines like me. Thank you!
Hi, thank you for the support. The sides for this build are 4 inches wide. And the base can be wider and discussed at the end of the video for your preference. But you can make the sides to the size you prefer, but I find 4 inch great. Looks great and less weight than using wider boards. Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions along the way. Also, If I dont answer here, message the my website or Etsy. As I answer those messages ASAP. And TH-cam I check every couple of days. Thank you
Hi. i purchased the download for a-z, but i don't see the file that includes the lengths of each board. what file includes those lengths? thank you Sir.
@@jimsimon3853 lol, your good. I just sent you an email discussing it. But since you found it, disregard. But if you have any questions along the way please email the diyrentalbuilds@gmail.com as I am able to answer much quicker. I don't get to check TH-cam daily as much. Good luck!

Tip for the circle in the middle of letters like R is to make it like a D instead it looks better
I just purchased the grad letters. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these plans. Thank you! Can’t wait to get started.
Awesome, thank you so much for the support! Good luck and if you have any questions just message the Etsy store as I take longer to reply on TH-cam, lol. But Etsy is same day, usually quick.
I did the marquee numbers by hand and now I'm working on the letters
Awesome!! Yeah lot of work
@@MakerDecor yes lol
Hazlo en español, 😊me encanta como eres de sencillo y como explicas.
Hiiiiii! Im a fannnn!
Hi, thank you very much!!!
The challenge for me is knowing what the angles should be when cutting certain pieces. Will you be making a video that shows that specifically? Thanks very much for your content
Hi, the plans have all the angles for each piece of the marquee and have been made simplified to match most mitersaws.

Love the videos! How do you hide the brad nails?
Hi, I use wood putty. You don't need a lot since the brad nails have a small hole. Then just sand off lightly.
Hmmm, ive been thinking about marking the letters and cutting the outside out and selling as a kit for people to finish them off
Yeah definitely an option. I get a lot of requests for me to build them for people. That may be a cost effective option for some!
@@MakerDecor how long does it usually take you to draw the letter/number on the mdf board
When you realised you put them together backwards 😂😂😂 This is so helpful though thank you
I would add some wood glue
Hi, thanks for the video, what type of playwood did you use?
Hi, thank you. I used 1/2 inch sanded plywood.
Hey!! Thank you so much for this video! To be honest the only question I have is what exact cable do you use for the bulbs?? I’m trying to find a small one like that

This video is helpful for different lights th-cam.com/video/HQxca0VqOAs/w-d-xo.html
Hi your the cutest love your naturalness
Thank you very much!
Great video! Just out of curiosity, how long per letter does it take you on average?
Hi, I created a short video on it here th-cam.com/users/shortsna-Xxm-C7UU
How do you find the angle with a speed square
So all your miter cuts are from inside out ?
Hi, might be dumb question but those inside areas it’s hard to use nail gun what size screws do you use and what is the attachment called? Thank you!
Hi, nah your good. I used 1 inch-1/4 screws. I wouldn't use longer than that. You can use 1 inch as well. The attachment is called right angle drill adapter. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hey where can I found out what material you use?
1/2 inch sanded plywood from Lowe's
For the half inch board on the outside of the Marquee, what is the length? Is it 1/2 by 6?
The one I did was 1/2 inch by 4 inch wide. But you can change it to which ever you prefer. I have made them 6 inch wide before. But prefer the 4 inch for weight. I do make the bottom longer in the back to put some weight for outdoors. Good luck!

@@leandroledesma4584 1/2 inch thick or 12.7 mm
