Very nice Job. I like the way you incorporated the power plug and also the use of the Multitool to cut the holding tabs. Haven't seen anyone else do that but as usual now I see it done, it's obvious. Now I want a laser capable of cutting and engraving perspex. Cheers Peter
Thanks we have been making similar design forvabout .10 years ..and we have used the multicolored led strips that come with own power supply and remote control ..it works great and looks great you can change the colors and be solid or have it change colors ....very nice ....we made plexi signs for all the holidays and one base so as holidays come around you just change the sign...
The clear looks great though...we just put black in back because itbwas disolayed in a bright area so it made it look better with black in back so you could see the lit up portion better
Nice but if anything goes wrong with the connector or led’s then you’ll have to make a new one. I’d recommend screws in from bottom 👍🏻 Didn’t realise it was for a customer, the way you made it was correct in my book. Thought it was a personal thing 👍🏻
After seeing this, I'm going to start looking for lasers. Maybe I can find a good used one for cheap. Any suggestions on where to start ? Most of the stuff I'm going to make will be 12x12 or smaller. Thanks for the great video.
Jim, you can do this so easily. Check out the "Glowforge" system. There's a backlog but it looks great. Otherwise you can order them from dealers in the U.S. If you want the Chinese lasers. They are much cheaper than epilog lasers. I purchased one from China. You want a G. Weike version.
No. not glowforge. they have still never shipped any actual product. nothing but vaporware. Lots of cheap lasers on ebay, but look around and you can find maker shops and local laser shops pretty easy. I've got one in San Francisco area.
The lnk you posted for the led strips is quite costly...they have 5m on ebay for $2...what i may do is buy a roll of the white led strips and justnuse random .12v power bricks i have laying around house for starters...the stripd can be cut and then just soldered correct?
Hi... I'm from Rio, Brazil. I was impressed with the work. Congratulations!!! But which machine did you use to make the pieces of wood and then the acrylic? Thank you !
Are you using any type of sanding around the edges to trap the light in? If so, all sides but where the light is?? Any thing you are using on the acrylic to make it shine like that?? Thank you in advance.
What r u using for power supply?...i like the kits that are only $6 that come with the led 1m strip and powerbsupply and rgb remote....i love your design but it way too invloved ..i like to keep it simple....what would be cheapest way for the lghts and power supply? I like the remote forveach one though with rgb lights..
After watching your video I made a base similar to yours. It looks great! But, noticed the lights get a little warm, (not hot just warmer than I would like). I am using 12V 1 amp for power supply. I think it may need some ventilation to keep it cool. I think it's to enclosed or something. Do you have any suggestions?
may i know what kind of spray u are using for coating the wood base? is the normal clear lacquer can spray works or it must be something that is only for wood?
+Justin Robinson Hey Justin. Here is a link to the product that I purchased at "Home Depot" www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-11-25-oz-Clear-Semi-Gloss-Oil-Based-Interior-Polyurethane-Spray-Paint-6081/100176051
+Kevin Rutherford Hey Kevin. Thanks for the comment. Yes you are correct but... this is what the client wanted although I didn't anticipate how much feedback I would get for posting the video... I should of charged more for that :) j/k
Great video, thanks for doing it. I'm just starting to experiment with acrylic/plexi. I just made one for my daughter with her college logo, but I had some trouble with the bit getting clogged. Are you using router bit or a laser?
+Greg Raso I used my laser to etch and profile cut. Acrylic likes to cut cool. You have to make sure you are cutting a the correct speeds and rpm. If your machine doesn't move very quickly than you will need to slow your spindle speed way down or you will end up melting the acrylic material. The speeds and feeds varies depending on the type of materials. The ballpark starting point would be spindle speed of about 6000 to 8000 rpms with a feed rate of 45 to 50 ipm. Engrave with a 60 degree V-bit. You might have to start and stop to clean up the melting until you find the sweet spot. Once you do you have it made my friend.
Apologies everyone. 1/4” Cast Acrylic Processed via my own cnc machine Chinese 100 watt laser Clear lacquered finish in a can from the box store Stock material would of been ideal. Love seeing the cnc machine do it though. www.amazon.com/dp/B00NHRFAQW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_u805BbJEXHN3F www.amazon.com/dp/B00CUKHN0S/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_R905BbZGE4WJ2 www.amazon.com/dp/B00FEOB4EI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_t-05Bb7W49Q60
I love your idea....i would just use dimensional lumber though for your base...no reason to cut out a rectangle shape if u can buy the wood already cut... Like 1x3 or 1x2 or 1x4 ....Unnecessary wear on your machine.... But thats me.....unless special reason i woukd never cut out a rectangle shape you can buy....i would adapt the project to use dimensional lumber.....i love the idea though....thank you
Loved the Video! I am really interested in learning what all is needed to make something like this. Would you be at all interested in giving me a hand in that? I would greatly appreciate it!
+Caylub Hayes Caylub, thanks for the comment man. I was hoping the video would be good enough for the fabrication but I do understand the need for help in other areas of the build. If you have certain questions, just ask away. I will try to help where I can. :-)
Thanks I have no knowledge in 3D printers and those machines. If I wanted to start making those signs what machines do I need to look at getting? Are you using two different machines? One for the woodwork and another to make the picture in the plexiglass?
I suggest getting a $20 dremel engraver and doing one by hand first. There are tutorials on youtube for that. (look for the christmas tree one). The LED strips are easily found on ebay.
I know this is an old video but damn dude your work would be so much better if you got the logo and the sport correct. The Blue Jays are Torontos BASEBALL team the Toronto Maple LEAFS are a HOCKEY team🤦🏻♂️
No reason for the outside rectangle shape to be perfect...it means nothing...a 1x3 or. 1x4 dimensional lumber would be good enough but thats my opinion...and it would be the most logical way to do the project...but hey if hecwants to waste money on end mills and time and wear and tear on his machine thats his decision. I was just giving some advice

Thank you Peter for the nice comment. I hope you got something out of this video. That's the point right :)
Great project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Dante for watching and commenting.
Thanks for showing how you make your bases, this has been driving me crazy. Great job, and thanks for sharing.
really very nice job,clean & very attractive good job
Excellent job on the sign and stand!
Great project and great video. Definitely makes me want a CNC even more.
Thanks we have been making similar design forvabout .10 years ..and we have used the multicolored led strips that come with own power supply and remote control ..it works great and looks great you can change the colors and be solid or have it change colors ....very nice ....we made plexi signs for all the holidays and one base so as holidays come around you just change the sign...
Please give me ur mobile no, I want this board for own shope
Wow they turned out great. Love the minimal look.
Great result ! But just a little remark,... Toronto Blue Jays are a Baseball team. Hockey team is Toronto Mapple Leaf !!!
Yes thank you. This is what the client wanted though. :)
really cool and you have very handy skills - I learned from you
Thank you. It’s not perfect but that’s the point of the videos. Just try and see what happens :)
And fyi i like a lot of your techniques when doing this project....gave me aome ideas ..thank you
Nice work
Great work.
Love the music. Who is that
Verry nice
Thank you John
Yes, the multi tool was an "aha" for me as well. Thanks for sharing.
+Dave Martin Great to hear Dave :)
The clear looks great though...we just put black in back because itbwas disolayed in a bright area so it made it look better with black in back so you could see the lit up portion better
Hermoso trabajo, felicidades amigo. Un saludo desde Villahermosa, Tabasco México.
Nice but if anything goes wrong with the connector or led’s then you’ll have to make a new one. I’d recommend screws in from bottom 👍🏻
Didn’t realise it was for a customer, the way you made it was correct in my book. Thought it was a personal thing 👍🏻
superb
Nice designs
Nice job. Thank you for sharing.
And we put a piece of thin black material on the rear side of the plexi so it really enhances the sign in area that are bright.....
After seeing this, I'm going to start looking for lasers. Maybe I can find a good used one for cheap.
Any suggestions on where to start ? Most of the stuff I'm going to make will be 12x12 or smaller.

No. not glowforge. they have still never shipped any actual product. nothing but vaporware. Lots of cheap lasers on ebay, but look around and you can find maker shops and local laser shops pretty easy. I've got one in San Francisco area.
How did you create the design file - Lineart. Any tutorial on that ?
Super!!! :)
The Toronto Blue Jays hockey team?!?
The lnk you posted for the led strips is quite costly...they have 5m on ebay for $2...what i may do is buy a roll of the white led strips and justnuse random .12v power bricks i have laying around house for starters...the stripd can be cut and then just soldered correct?
Hi... I'm from Rio, Brazil.
I was impressed with the work. Congratulations!!!
But which machine did you use to make the pieces of wood and then the acrylic? Thank you !
Did you have a film on top of the clear acrylic or was your laser strong enough to etch and cut?
I use a 3018 pro and I'm having problems with both
@BSTEWART P. HILL- Thanks for the comment. It was a fun project :)
I like the way you made your bases. Do you have a link or site where you get your lights and other parts? Thanks and I subscribed, great work.
Are you using any type of sanding around the edges to trap the light in? If so, all sides but where the light is?? Any thing you are using on the acrylic to make it shine like that?? Thank you in advance.
What r u using for power supply?...i like the kits that are only $6 that come with the led 1m strip and powerbsupply and rgb remote....i love your design but it way too invloved ..i like to keep it simple....what would be cheapest way for the lghts and power supply? I like the remote forveach one though with rgb lights..
just curious if u found this stuff out? or have figured it out
Nice job, but why put chamfers on by hand when it was bolted to a CNC machine?
After watching your video I made a base similar to yours. It looks great! But, noticed the lights get a little warm, (not hot just warmer than I would like). I am using 12V 1 amp for power supply. I think it may need some ventilation to keep it cool. I think it's to enclosed or something. Do you have any suggestions?
may i know what kind of spray u are using for coating the wood base? is the normal clear lacquer can spray works or it must be something that is only for wood?
polyurethane paint!!! I think..
Awesome job!! Where did you buy the lighting set up?
Hi sir witch mechine u used for glass sheet cut i mean make desigen if u have any link can u give a link plz
Great Job! Any recommendations on led and power supplies/suppliers?
Yes they came out very nice! You know the Jays play baseball right?? Ha ha...
I know right! That's what the customer wanted against my recommendation. What the customer wants they get. :)

Where exactly do you get your light bars and power source at?
When connecting LED strip lights without an adapter whether it can be replaced with a mobile phone adapter
They look awesome, but the Toronto blue jays are a baseball team, the maple leafs are the hockey team
+Kevin Rutherford Hey Kevin. Thanks for the comment. Yes you are correct but... this is what the client wanted although I didn't anticipate how much feedback I would get for posting the video... I should of charged more for that :) j/k
Beautiful creation. What was the thickness of your acrylic?
Larry thanks. The thickness was 1/4" ish.
+Larry Finley 1/4"
I'm sorry to say this, but I'm so excited w your music,, may I know the tittle??
Woow 👍🏻
What the machine name and where I can buy it?
Hey, how deep should I engrave for the best result?
hello sir what you use to make finishing of wood
Can someone post a link for the led strips?..or similar?..are they cutable?

What do you you use for the power supply?....
hello , the size of the same length of wood to how many models of making such a dividio
I need raw design file.. for laser cutting
nice What kind of machine is that?
nice work
LOL..Hey good job.
How are you able to sell the pro logo in your crafts? Do you have trademark agreement with NHL/MLB?
GinjaNinja JKG - I do not sell these. I make them for friends as gifts for their family.
What i mean by simple is i would just use standard lumber...and not cut out the piece
How thick is the acrylic and what type of acrylic, is it cast acrylic or extruded acrylic?
MMEZA Meza - 1/4” thick. Cast acrylic. Cast gives a white cloudy look.
What kind of machine you use to engraving acrilic?
that is Laser Engraving Machine
where can I order those LED strip lights and conrctions at?
Great video, thanks for doing it. I'm just starting to experiment with acrylic/plexi. I just made one for my daughter with her college logo, but I had some trouble with the bit getting clogged. Are you using router bit or a laser?

Thanks so much for the info, I really appreciate it. I'll do a little more trial and error using your suggestions.
What kind of machine is used for the clear print?
laser engraver. CO2 probably. However, you can do this with weaker lasers.
What settings on the laser engraver?
Blue jays = baseball team.
Apologies everyone.

that way he makes sure everything is perfect measurement XD
der ddd - Yes you are right.
Why bevel/roundover the bottom edge of the upper piece?!?! Baffling... cool build anyways, I guess.
Hello sir which machine did you use to do the draws
+Yusif Kotey
I used a Chinese laser engraver. G.Weike
Good afternoon Sir I am indian. Know only hindi and english. Please tell me about this all and all important tools and materials cost
Beautiful work and business idea really my imali is ddsnagaur @gmail.com
what cnc do you use
+chrisocar It's a home built cnc
kool i always wanted one.
+chrisocar They make everything so easy for the most part. More setup time
Is there a video on your home made cnc
Acrylic how many mm
how much do you sell them for?
Doña Plachi - I don’t sell them. :)
Laeser or cnc ?
+AK Z
Both. Acrylic with laser and base with wood router.
Original factory LED strip
6.35 mm
Nice job but,you do realize that the Blue Jays are MLB right?
+mark nantais Yes I absolutely realize that. I did what the client wanted though. The customer is always right :)
Always give the customer what they want is so true.Great work

yes... perfection, perfect match and measurements
