Great work on the sign and video. I liked how you described what you were doing. size of board used and font size would've been nice as your video made me want to make a sign for a gift. finding the right board/font sign combo was a tough choice haha. appreciate that you did say what type of font you used. thanks to you I made my 1st sign and it turned out great as the family loved it. thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Great video. It really has stirred up alot of interest. Would you post the equipment (router, bits, etc,) that you used? Thanks & God Bless! Once again, Great work!
Wow! You are super duper awesome at wood carving. You have a very steady hand. CNC router is nothing in front of your palm routing job. I really liked your videos Do you mind posting the router bits used in this video?
@@stevescustomcarving1175 thank you that's very good. I do have a small router and a couple of bits so when I get the chance I do want to do something of that nature and If I come across any problems that I think you might be able to help with then If it is ok I'll ask for advice many thanks and I'll share a picture or two
I'll keep my eyes peeled for the sign if I am ever out that way. I used to go fishing alot out near Standish at the narrows bridge for bullhead and small mouth bass.
Enjoyed it very much, beautiful sign! Maybe some closer up shots so we can see when your describing how you carve, how its done. Other than that great job
Amazing how videos you see about sign carving and you see Eric Rhoten's base plate, base plate modification, same equipment used IE Critter sprayer and procedure for making the sign. Tips and tricks. Yet no credit given.
Thanks. Which bits would you recommned to do projects like mashrabiya moroccan screens? They are lovely but do require the removal of all the material and should be able to cut straight angles, not just rounded shapes. I'll appreciate your suggestions.
Hi Keya, I started with a 60 Deg, 90 Deg V bits. I also started with a 'profile' bit, Whiteside SC55. You can use a round over or 45Deg bit for the edging. I still use these bits for most of my signs. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Hi, love the video. I'm looking for a belt sander for the first time. What are you using and what are the specs? My 5" orbital, even with 80 grit to remove black, isn't cutting it. Thanks, Greg in Nashville.
@@stevescustomcarving1175 Thank you for the feedback. I opted for a Dewalt disk sander. Holy cow. Used it the first time today and it melted that paint right off :)
what kind of router bit did you use? I also have a DEWALT palm router with a small 4mm diameter router bit. But the result was not as nice. The font was also too difficult.
SUPERB. Subbed. Question: Could I use my existing 1/8" shank Dremel bits, with a 1/4-1/8" adapter, to use with my DeWalt DWP 611 palm router? Thanks, in advance.
I have used 1/8" bits in my DWP611. I do not believe they were made for a Dremel. Be careful. You DO NOT want the bit to come out or break while using. That could be dangerous. Good Luck!
1st, great video. At 10:00... can you tell me what you are using at your nonskid mat under the work while sanding? What did you use for your final spray sealer? Nice video
I use 3 different bits on this sign. White side Whiteside Engraving CNC Router Bit, 5/8" Point, 1/4" SH for the artwork and letters Whiteside Router Bits 1500 V-Groove Bit with 90-Degree 1/4-Inch Cutting Diameter and 1/8-Inch Point Length for the cloud around the letters Whiteside Router Bits 1540 V-Groove 60-Degree 1/4-Inch Cutting Diameter and 7/32-Inch Point Length for the inset letters.
Do you make these for people or are you just showing us how to make them please comment back I would love to have a sign like this really 2 sides so please comment back thank you very much for this video
I do my layout in PowerPoint. I then reverse everything and print onto freezer paper. This allows me to transfer the design onto the piece. From there, I free hand the carving.
I do my design with PowerPoint. Then I print it and use carbon paper to transfer the image. I have begun to play with printing a reversed image on wax paper but it requires a lot more setup to work properly. Much faster though.

Hi Rey, I started with a 60 Deg for the location letters, 90 Deg V bit for the cloud and cleanout. I also used a 'profile' bit, Whiteside SC55 for the outset letters. You can use a round over or 45Deg bit for the edging. I still use these bits for most of my signs. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
NOTICE PLEASE: Here is a tip if you are just starting out like I am. All these guys make it look so easy, make it look like it is fingertip touch. Truth is HANG ON TO THAT SUCKER FOR DEAR LIFE!!! Or it will fly out of your hands! They do not look like it, but all these guys have a VERY firm grip on the router TRUST me. =) ALSO: When starting the router on the board, it is important to lay it into the wood at an angle, watch him closely. Nobody seems to tell you this and if you try to punch it straight down on the wood it will fly out of your hand also.
That is a good suggestion. I will need to start doing that. Here is a link to the profile bit with a picture. makeawoodsign.com/products/profile-router-bit
Excellent. short and sweet! Thank you.
Steve, this was an excellent video. I'm not sure why I have never seen this before today. Again this was an excellent video!
Awesome job man. I'm so glad I got one of those bases on your recommendation!
I am so glad you like the base.

I like this video..👍
Wow I really like that mate.
You make it look so easy and I think that I could do it as well 👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks Philip. You can definitely learn to do this. All you need is a small router and a couple of bits. Let me know if you have any questions.

Beautiful ❤️.Which wood you are using

Oh ihhhh
Amazing how videos you see about sign carving and you see Eric Rhoten's base plate, base plate modification, same equipment used IE Critter sprayer and procedure for making the sign. Tips and tricks. Yet no credit given.
great job Sir. Im in Ireland and cant seem to find the profile bit you use. would you have a link to where i can get one please?
You mentioned using a sanding sanding sealer. Which one do you use, and do you apply it before you start carving out the letters?
Hi, great job. What type of paint do you use? I have tried painting and then varnishing and the black paint went bad. Thanks a lot!!
Just found this. Its like watching a Dave Rhoten video. Identical patterns, Font, procedures and finishes. I had to double check the channel name.
That is funny. I got started by watching Dave and Eric's videos.
@@stevescustomcarving1175 Me too! Eric and Ryan are doing a fine job keeping the tradition of Dave's work!
Hi Steve, that is so beautiful and you make it look so easy. What is in the spray can at the very end?
Thanks. Which bits would you recommned to do projects like mashrabiya moroccan screens? They are lovely but do require the removal of all the material and should be able to cut straight angles, not just rounded shapes. I'll appreciate your suggestions.
what model router are you using and where do you get the two bits you used?
Hi I like your video did you freehand the camper and pine tree before you carved it. And are you still making signs today
Good job Steve. If you get primer on your shirt you can turn it right side out. :)
Haha. I didn’t realize it was inside out until I was done filming. Oh well. 😂
Can I use a profile bit on a 1/4 trim router ?
Thank you for the video. What bits do you use? I want to try to make a sign but not sure what bits to get or where to get them. Thank you
Hi Keya, I started with a 60 Deg, 90 Deg V bits. I also started with a 'profile' bit, Whiteside SC55. You can use a round over or 45Deg bit for the edging. I still use these bits for most of my signs. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
How much would you charge for a paper print of your camper from this sign. Its the nicest one I've seen.
Awesome Steve! Try epoxy next time, it will add more.....
Nice work there can I find the pictures to carve thanks
NICE EXPLANATION! PRESS ON.
What route bits did you use.
Iv`e been looking for a similar scene for a sign. Where can I find that one?
What is the name of the drill?
Where can one buy?
Like from Belarus !!!👍👍👍🎈
what font did you use on the Standish NY

@@stevescustomcarving1175 Thank you for the feedback. I opted for a Dewalt disk sander. Holy cow. Used it the first time today and it melted that paint right off :)
Where did you get the motorhome and the trees from to trace?
Which tool is that desalt you are carving the letters with ?

Steve-what is the router base that you are using?
That is the stock base for the 611. I cut a second hole in it to allow me to see with the dust collector mounted.
@@steveschrecengost6021 no it’s not! It’s a custom from Dave Rhoten from Makewoodsign.com

What size bit did you use in the drill press?
Thanks for watching. I use a 2" hole saw for the corners.
I'm interested in trying this. Never used a router! What's a profile bit?
This is a detail bit used in sign carving. I use the Whiteside SC50. I would recommend a small router like the Dewalt DP611.
Who needs a CNC well done

Ehm ... is just me or his green T-shirt is upside down ( label behind his neck)? 👀 . But nevertheless amazing video !! Good job .
What do you charge for a sign like that
This is a 8x24" sign. My costs depend on the size and complexity. For this one the price would be $80 with shipping.

Why don’t you show a close up of profile bit?
That is a good suggestion. I will need to start doing that. Here is a link to the profile bit with a picture. makeawoodsign.com/products/profile-router-bit
what router and plate
The router is a Dewalt DWP611 and the base plate is from makeawoodsign website
You could just run the sign through a planer and let it take a 1/16th off and forget all that sanding
I have tried that. The problem is with fine details in the carving. They often chip out.
Hello are you still sign carving ?
Yes I am.
@@stevescustomcarving1175 thanks Steve may I ask hiw do you get your images for your signs there great
