    As a trained neon light glass blower journeyman, I can attest that using the skinned or bevelled curves is fully adequate if you know how the glass tubes are bent and connected to create signs. Write a text in whatever font you want and create the curves on top of it to match.
    Also, it is possible to create fairly sharp angles, not perfectly straight, there will always be some roundness, but a lot straighter than cheap signs have.
    Also, you will never want a single tube system be more than 2 meters in total length, in order to have even luminescence. Longer signs will need to be broken down into several systems.

    Interviews vs tutorials... In the long run, watching someone who is skillfully and diligently sharing his techniques the results of which are really pleasing to the eye always, always wins over watching someone famous telling inspirational and/or instructive success stories. Why? Cause, well, inspiration gets you to the point where you begin to want to get your hands dirty, and that's about it... Thanks for the tutorials, Andrew!

    For anyone doing this today on blender 3.5, what the video doesn't tell you is the object is already a curve before he 'converts' it to a curve. To get past this step Right Click on your text and in the box choose convert to curve, then do the duplicate and hide. Then press F3 type convert and convert to curve from mesh/text. Only difference will be when you go to edit mode no points will be selected so hit A on the keyboard and your screen will look like his.

    This is pretty late but for anyone else who's just encountering this problem, I found in the documentation (copy-pasted below) that extruding actually duplicates the selected points and then it lets you move the center control point and the handle you extruded from but it doesn't move the other handle end. This makes it look like you're extruding from that end instead. So just position the first two points first then move the other handle.
    Reference
    Mode: Edit Mode
    Menu: Curve ‣ Extrude Curve and Move
    Hotkey: E
    Extrudes points by duplicating the selected points, which then can be moved, and connecting those points back to the original curve creating a continuous curve.

      Yousif TUT there are some payd add-ons solving this ancient problem in blender, like Meshmachine or HardOps. They're a bit advanced but worth the price if you model a lot.
      There are some tutorials by Penfinity on his youtube channel you could try to follow, even if they're quite technical and, I've to say, sometimes a bit boring or even irritating.

    Woohoo! I am coming 1 year late to the party... but finished my Neon Signs.
    AND, I found a way how to add sound and make them flicker.... (Draco Socard for example asked how to do this). Well: I cheated a bit: during the Blender animation, I created a duplicate neon sign, one lit, one dark, and "moved them" through the brick wall back and forth. If you change the Blender animation to a "hard" move instead of slow accerlation, you can switch both neon signs in/out and create a on-off effect. Add a crackling/buzzing neon sound and it's pretty convincing. Not sure if our BlenderGuru would approve but it worked for me :)
    Let me know. you like the vid/example as a link.

      I ended up deleting the text and redoing it. It worked after that, no connected handles during extrusion. I know thats not much of a help. Also, this time instead of taking the text straight to 3D I forgot and tried to extrude in 2D, swapped to 3D and extruded fine (doubt that uas anything to do with it.) After watching the video over a dozen times, I didn't miss any steps and checked all of the frames to make sure same icons and buttons were pushed. Not sure why deleting text and retyping worked.

    I know absolutely nothing about this stuff yet, but I do know a little about kerning, and I struggle to see how you can do this without kerning the text. Have a look at the 'O' and the 'X': they look smaller than the other letters. Letters with round tops need to actually be higher and lower than flat topped, and if they have round sides, or almost no sides like the letter 'X', then the letters to the side of these need to be brought closer. At the end of this video it has the box for the next tutorial and one can see the word 'text'. Have a look at the horizontal spacing. To illustrate my point the eye sees this NE O N TEX T. This is not exactly how it looks but I have keyboard constraints here.
    Now having said all this The B.G. may be being absolutely true to the craft of making neon signs, and the neon guys might not give a hoot about kerning and they are ok with their signs looking less than they could, but our teacher here, a couple of times, talks about wanting our letters to look 'nice'. This must be the case because a guy like this knows much more about kerning than I do.
    'Stewth! A guy down below has a small comment on this, but it has taken me at least two hours to type this so I'm still gunna post it. :[

    I wish you would record your keystrokes! As an absolute beginner, I have no idea how you bring up those pop-ups, etc.

    I actually prefer the double-line neon. Saves some work too :)

    I'm stuck in the 2.79 past because 'the future' crashes far to often to be functional, including when I touch any of the material settings. :(
    But that's okay, I'm sure things will get worked out in later builds. I'll take my time saying my final goodbyes to Blender's internal rendering engine (not that I use it anymore though)!
    Gonna go watch Part 2 now; your tutorials are great!
