I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Abel Harlem thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Love the right angle jig! I use transfer tape when I laser engrave. Just got my CNC router so it's a whole new learning process. Great video, voice over and editing. No long drawn out talking, right to the point A+ and you have a new subscriber.
In my career as a signcrafter, i started out hand-lettering, so i Can paint the lettering after carving. But i found your tutorial to be quite helpful...there's always a different way to accomplish the task.
Wow! This looks like a terrific process. Thank you for sharing it. I would love to learn more about how you design the sign letters/shapes and what v bit you use.
Thanks Dave. The vbit used in the video is an Onsrud 37-61. All of the signs are reproductions. To recreate the letters and shapes, I manually vectorized them in CorelDraw. This video provides some insight to the process: th-cam.com/video/gI4PpftT1tQ/w-d-xo.html
Great idea and one I will certainly use, but I'm very new CNC and have used a different method to achieve what you have done. I used milescraft templet and after painting the work, I just ran it through the thickness planner.
Thanks, Frederick. The thickness planer sounds like a good approach- especially when the carving is relatively deep and there is no paint on the surface.
Zinsser makes a de-waxed shellac in a spray can as well - works great. Careful with the paint-on version, the primary one they sell is waxed and may mess with paint adhesion.
Awesome video! I went to your tool list site and the foam brush link took me to the vynil link. Didn't know if you were aware of that. I am brand new to CNC and have a Onefinity scheduled for delivery in January. Look forward to seeing more videos
hi sir, thx so much, i really apreciat this work, u can teach for us how to polish this wood to look very beautyful ? u watch some video of you channel and learned to use cnc fixed with corner bits, but its only it you use ? amazing job, thx for share sir.
So what if you had used some sort of finish, like lacquer, on the surface, let it dry, then put the masking on that.. Would the mask stick better, and help against bleeding underneath the edges?
Thanks for a great video. I understand the use of shellac to cover the entire board before the Oracal is applied, but why do you apply more shellac after the routing has been done? Is it done to ensure no paint goes under the edge of the Oracal?
Before I got into the habit of applying shellac to the v-carved area, I would sometimes notice a fuzzy bleed through of paint into the subsurface of the masked area. In those instances, I believe that untreated wood fibers in the v-carved area became saturated with paint, and that the paint "wicked," though them. The shellac is intended to seal those fibers and prevent that from happening. It may very well help in the manner you described, in addition.
buen video, lindo trabajo pero me gustraria saber como haces ese tipo de tipografia en madera, como la configuras para que escriba asi? se agradece el dato.
thank you for sharing. after 3 years, it's still useful to someone like me. :) anyway, can I ask you what wood you used here? I read all your answers and really appreciate for sharing all.
Hello, I amJessica from China Danuo Machinery Equipment Co., LTD. Our company's products include laser engraving machine, laser cutting machine, CNC Router and a series of ion cutting machines. If you are interested, you can add my Whatsapp:+86-13285336692 mail:Jessica@danuomachinery.com
I've been using clear spray paint to seal the endgrain, it shrinks and lifts the vinyl. I noticed the shellac worked great, have you had a problem with it? I guess I am asking is it my technique (too much paint or?) or the chemistry of the solvent that damages the oracal vinyl. Thanks for the great video
Hello sir, very nice video Could u plz when ever u have time to list the final product which is the glossy finishing what did u use ? I bought the shellac from ur link , I’m just having problem in the end what to use to apply the final glossy look. Thank u
I have been playing with this concept lately and I cannot get the smooth edges, the vinyl wrinkles and allows the paint to get under. What do you recommend to solve this?
Hey man thanks for the video I am going to try your method I have been looking for good method of doing this as I have used high contact release paper, painters tape, masking tape, shelf liner, and usually resort to laser engraving my projects for clean painting lines but I noticed in your video you where not getting the vinyl to lift when cutting would you mind sharing your feeds and speeds that you used as well as the exact wood you used it looks like basic pine or douglas fur but I could be wrong thanks
You're welcome, ontheEdge. Looks like the carving was run at 12K RPM; 1.83 i.p.s. The wood is radiata (AKA Monterey) pine from Lowes / Home Depot- no knots, and nicer grain. I've never had a problem with Oracal 631 lifting, except one time when I had dust collection turned on.
Sorry- I'm not familiar with 813. There are some reviews on amazon that seem to suggest issues with bubbles and poor adhesion. The 631 isn't the cheapest game in town, but it's always worked well for me.
I also us two coats of shellac on my red oak before adding the vinyl. Does adding the coat in the V carve help with paint bleeding? I do get some paint bleed that I can't sand out due to how deep it go.
I'm fairly certain that it does help, Matt. I think unless the wood fibers inside the v-carved area are sealed, paint can "wick" though them and appear just below the surface in the area that had been masked.
Thank you for the reply. I gave it a try and it turned out great! The only thing I noticed different was the paint didn't want to sit in some areas of the v-carve and it would just run from the away from it. I had to use a bush and dab the paint in that area. What type of paint are you using? Is it oil based or water?
Glad to hear it! I've had that happen, as well- just in an occasional, tiny area. My approach was also to dab it with a small artist brush- just as the paint was in the process of setting up a bit. I use only oil-based rattle cans- mostly Rustoleum Painters Touch 2x.
Thank you for the great video and how-to info. Can I ask you what fonts you found best to do this kind of work as well as the cutter bit you use too. The corner jig is a great idea as well. Great job!
Thanks Mark- glad you liked the video! I'm not sure that I've found any particular type of font family to be better than any other for V-carving. They all seem to work pretty well. Occasionally, I'll tweak (increase) the starting cut depth by 0.01 or 0.02 if a font naturally carves too shallow for my liking. Concerning the bit, I've been using an Onsrud 37-61. Wish I could claim credit for the offset jig- borrowed that idea from Shopbot.
Your vcarving feed-rate seems extremely fast (didn't look sped up based on the background noise). What IPM are you running? Perhaps a slower rate would lead to less fuzzies in the channels?
Great video. Still helping people 4 years later. Thanks
Cool technique! Always wondered how people were getting the paint so perfect in the engraved peices. Great clear instructions, thank you!

Hey pal. Well I'm from Trinidad. I love your work please make more videos. I are good
Thank you so much showing us how to do a great pint process. I will use in my projets.
Sucess for you man!!
Followed your links. Bought the products and will try this method for my V-Carved items. And I should mention -- WELL DONE VIDEO too.
Thanks Steve- I appreciate it!
@@totrand I did try this and it worked very well. I shall use it again on more carvings.
Great- glad to hear that, Steve!
Impressive! Congratulations, a truly superb job. Incredibly beautiful end result.
Thanks Massimiliano!
Awesome work and technique! Glad I found you. +1sub. Cheers from Ontario!

great video explaining a simple yet very effective technique!
Thanks, Stephen!
Thank you so much for this excellent video. Subscribed!!
Loved the narration and video editing skills. You sir earned a sub!
Thanks- much appreciated!
Great video love it!!
i couldn't agree any more
Very good narrative of your project. You are adept at presentations keep up the good work.
Thanks, Jacob- much appreciated! Hope to make additional videos before long.
great video, answered so many questions on how to do that
Thanks for clear step by step instructions and video. Helpful for getting started with my CNC toy!
Beautiful work. I have just purchased my CNC router and am going to try this approach. *Thank you*
Thanks for sharing this practical knowledge
I have a ShopBot and painting has been a nightmare. Just subscribed and I going to try this technique. Thanks for sharing.
Zinsser makes a de-waxed shellac in a spray can as well - works great. Careful with the paint-on version, the primary one they sell is waxed and may mess with paint adhesion.
looks like the wax free versions is called seal coat but i dont see it in a spray can. Guess they got rid of it in the past 2 years
Elegant and direct! Thanks for the class, will try with small projects on my desktop CNC.
I appreciate the feedback, Mario. Thanks!
one of best cnc videos for me.. i like it
Thank you for a short and super informative video!
Great tip with the vinyl!
Awesome video!
I went to your tool list site and the foam brush link took me to the vynil link. Didn't know if you were aware of that.

Thanks for this video I always struggle when painting hoping your technique works for me
Beautiful sign, technic, and tutorial.
thank you for showing your method. It's great to see how tos
it helps immensely! Thanks agin !
You're welcome Capt. Spiffy- glad it helped!
totrand great work you deserve alot more subscribers but eathier way thank you and great work on all videos
@@totrand awesome work. Big fan of you work. How long did you wait between adding paint and waiting for shellac to dry?
can you post your tools, feeds, and speeds, in your videos. Great job. I subscribed and liked.
cheers
Great video and beautiful work!
Wow really great technique, thanks.
This looks great. How deep was thay V bit cut? I always run into issues where the cuts are either too deep or too shallow.
hi sir, thx so much, i really apreciat this work, u can teach for us how to polish this wood to look very beautyful ? u watch some video of you channel and learned to use cnc fixed with corner bits, but its only it you use ? amazing job, thx for share sir.
Try using general finishes milk paint. It's thicker and means u can skip the shellac sealing.
Hey have you ever try Clear Laminate Peel and Stick Shelf Liner your contact paper? Thanks for making this video and cool signs.
Great video! The finished product looks awesome too. Can you please share what bits you used for the entire job and where to get them? Thanks
Really nice work, thanks for sharing!!!
Can't thank you enough for this video!
Ideal solution. Thanks for sharing!
So what if you had used some sort of finish, like lacquer, on the surface, let it dry, then put the masking on that.. Would the mask stick better, and help against bleeding underneath the edges?
Really nice, thanks
Question if I wanted my wood to be black instead of the natural look would I have sprayed it before applying the vinyl
That was pretty cool.
Thank you
WOW!!!...Love the instruction in your videos. Would love to see a tutorial or two on sign making from start to finish...SUBBED!
Thanks- glad you liked it!
Excellent video, thank you!
Hi. Love the technique. Where can I get the sign clip art ?
Awesome work sir!
Amazing what the human mind thinks and the things we come up with. Great freeken Vid, what bit did u use?
Thank u for a great video👍🏼
Wow this is owesom. Great idea. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Dino- Glad you liked it!

That really makes a good bit of sense. We will try this process - and your video is very helpful. When doing outdoor signs, what changes do you make?
Awesome video and very easy to understand. One question though Shellac is not available in Greece. Any alternative!?
Beautiful sign. Is there a site to check if brands are allowed to be copied?
excelent job¡¡¡¡¡ What is the brand of you CNC machine
Man that’s freaking awesome, thank you for sharing
buen video, lindo trabajo pero me gustraria saber como haces ese tipo de tipografia en madera, como la configuras para que escriba asi? se agradece el dato.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for posting!
Do more of these types of videos. You got a like and sub
Awesome'' will be giving this a go for sure. Cheers!
Absolutely Amazing
Thanks
Thanks sooooo much for the technique!!!!
Very nice work ...What type of CNC are you using.
Great work
Thanks, Leandro
Great technique. How would you apply it with everything being the same but with a painted background instead of unfinished as you showed?
I would paint the workpiece, let it dry, then apply Ora mask and paint the carved areas before you remove the Ora mask.
If I paint the board first would I damage the paint once I take the vinyl off
Hello, my name is benjamin from mexico. You can tell me, what a milling cutting use to this project, thank you
excellent tutorial, thanks
Super informative video! What CNC machine did you use?
Very good job!
How do you do the flat surfaces such as the shields in the other signs, that are carved in among the letters?
Great video!

What is the product being applied on 3:35?
I've been using clear spray paint to seal the endgrain, it shrinks and lifts the vinyl. I noticed the shellac worked great, have you had a problem with it?

Hi Dan- I sprayed the signs with Rust Oleum Painter's Touch 2x clear coat- either gloss or satin. amzn.to/2HYgtlg (satin)
amzn.to/2ZPBJ7O (gloss)
Great job
What router do you use in this video? And love the video. Using the vinyl is a great idea..
Excellent...
I have been playing with this concept lately and I cannot get the smooth edges, the vinyl wrinkles and allows the paint to get under. What do you recommend to solve this?
Spray a clear lacquer first helps. Don't over saturate too fast/spray too close.
Hey man thanks for the video I am going to try your method I have been looking for good method of doing this as I have used high contact release paper, painters tape, masking tape, shelf liner, and usually resort to laser engraving my projects for clean painting lines but I noticed in your video you where not getting the vinyl to lift when cutting would you mind sharing your feeds and speeds that you used as well as the exact wood you used it looks like basic pine or douglas fur but I could be wrong thanks

Why apply shellac after engraving? Wouldn't paint adhere better to the raw wood?
Great video, thanks for putting it together. Quick question, I wasn't aware you could paint over shellac. Or is the enamel spray paint OK for that?
You can paint over anything.
Hi! Thanks for the great video! Do you know if oramask 813 would be appropriate for this or do you recommend sticking with the 631?Thanks much!
Sorry- I'm not familiar with 813. There are some reviews on amazon that seem to suggest issues with bubbles and poor adhesion. The 631 isn't the cheapest game in town, but it's always worked well for me.
I'm assuming that with shellac and spray paint, this method is meant for indoor signs?
I also us two coats of shellac on my red oak before adding the vinyl. Does adding the coat in the V carve help with paint bleeding? I do get some paint bleed that I can't sand out due to how deep it go.

I loved the video....extremely helpful. I love the look of the signs and was wondering what thickness you used for these?
Thanks, Kim. All of the signs were cut from 1x12s, so 3/4" thickness- give or take a 32nd ;)
Thank you for the great video and how-to info. Can I ask you what fonts you found best to do this kind of work as well as the cutter bit you use too. The corner jig is a great idea as well. Great job!

I considered trying audiobooks once, but never took action.
Hi what make and model is your machine? And what would be a good machine to start with? Thank you
Thx. I enjoyed that.
