Thank you for sharing this sign carving with us today. Look forward to the next one. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Nice video with classic HB narration. To the point as usual. Great idea for using the projector. I just finished building a sign out of 2x4 for a local coffee shop here in Atlanta. As you said the most work is in transfer of text on to the canvas surface. This shop has a unique font so I had to draw and scale on paper each letter, then glue it all onto the wood, then used fine tip router bit to carve the letters edges, then with 1/4' bit hog the rest of it. After aaaaal of that I filled the letter indentation space with coffee beans and pored with resin. All of that thanks to watching one of your older videos. 👍
Good morning, Great job and great idea with the projector. I have been wanting to try my hand at carving and make a sign for my shop for a while this has inspired me. thank you 😊 I hope you have a great weekend.
Another great video. Thank you for sharing your talents and expertise. I really got something from the lesson in attaching the boards together. Thank you for that. 😊
Great video. Just found your channel and watched a couple of videos. You have a nice clear style - very good instruction, clear articulation and nice video work. Thanks - looking forward to working through your videos.
Carving really adds another dimension to Woodwork. I have always been impressed with your carving work 👊 It's actually something I've been playing with as it's an area that I have very little experience with. I look forward to your next carving project video. Thank you for sharing. ✌️
Lettering is not my favorite, but I do wish I got more carving jobs. I can throw on a podcast and just zone out. They also take up a lot less space which is nice.
Great job as always, sign making has been on my list for a long time but as yet have never attempted it, something always comes along and knocks it down the list before it gets to the top but I do poses a dremmel and some other die grinding bits so it will definitely happen at some time, when that time comes I am sure it won’t be anywhere near as easy as you make it look, I will look forward to the upcoming second video on carving 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
By any chance has anyone from Fine Woodworking ever contacted you? I think you would be a great article. I have been amazed at the quality of work you have done over the years. Work created without all the big specialty tools and machines. I wish that someday you get the shop of your dreams.
Ah cedar. Last winter a friend of ours asked me to prepare(ready to assemble,) 45 bee hives out of cedar he'd had curing for the past 15 years, rough sawn in 4 meter lengths. My barn-shop ended up smelling like a cross between my grandmother's interior linen chests(when people didn't store linen in plastic boxes,) and/or a sauna bath. Actually, now that I'm back to playing around in oak, I rather miss the "aroma..." cheers.rr Normandy
Great Video, the feather board you are using looks great. Would you buy this one again or would you get another one? Thanks and I Really enjoyed your production. Terry
It’s from Rockler. I have used lots of their products and usually like them, but I don’t care for that feather board. You have to really crank on the knobs in order to get it to not slide in the slot. I mean really really crank on it. I don’t have experiences with other brands but I would think you shouldn’t have to tighten it that much to get it to work properly.
I find splines are easier because it’s just one setup for all the boards. And for the bigger sign I had just enough width, if I cut tongue and groove and lost some width on each board the sign wouldn’t be wide enough.
use the on line program rapid resizer with this on line program that you can set up a paper pattern the program sets up on 8x 10 home printer and resizes to just about any size you could want I do wood carving and use it to enlarge cartums for carvings in wood
Thanks this is a good tip for multiple woodworking uses I think, not just carving. I have done paper pattern transfer s for carving before and still think the projector is easier. But, for people without access to a projector this is a great option.

Thanks! The next one is slightly more 3D, so I'm excited for that.
I can see why customers looking for signs seek you out.
That sign looks great.
Have a great week.
You have a great week too!
Wow! No templets and jigs just free hand it all the way and I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks Caitlin!
Thanks!
Great job!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It is a great tutorial!
Thanks!
Great idea, with the projector! Happy Saturday!
Happy Saturday to you too!

Nice, sounds like a very cool sign. Pretty sure I know what video you are talking about. Happy someone got some use out of it.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks Absolutely. Thank you for sharing HB.
I love the pattern in the background board that you get with the ball grinder. 🥰
Thanks! It's a very fast and easy way to cover a lot of ground with a nice subtle texture.
Thanks for the video. You have an array of talents...
Thanks
Good morning from Vancouver Island 🌴 😊
Good afternoon from New Jersey!
Great Video! Very well done
Beautiful job! You always make awesome videos, Thanks!
Thanks. Appreciate that!

The projector is a game changer. Laying out designs without it is a real pain.
Yes it is,, I'm definitely going to give the projector a try
Awesome! I've been delving int carving on some of my keepsake boxes lately.
Nice! Perfect spot for carving.
Another great video, Timothy

Thanks! As with anything there is a learning curve, but with plain lettering like this I think a novice could become an expert quite quickly.
Very nice as always 👌👍💯❤
Thanks!
Great job. Enjoy your video
Thanks
You can use a router..you can remove material quicker. Of course there are many ways to do the same wood working task.
Yes, I have a video on here already showing how to do this with a router.
By any chance has anyone from Fine Woodworking ever contacted you? I think you would be a great article. I have been amazed at the quality of work you have done over the years. Work created without all the big specialty tools and machines. I wish that someday you get the shop of your dreams.
No. I used to read Fine Woodworking, and in all honesty will I am confident in my skill set I don't know if it's at that level yet.

Hahaha. This stuff at the box store isn’t aromatic cedar. So while the smell is similar it’s much more muted. Bee hives is a cool thing to make!
I'm guessing you're like me. No, or I can't do that, is not part of your vocabulary. Great job!!!
Yeah, and it gets me into a lot of trouble.
Me too, you'd think I'd learn,lol
Amazing! Thanks
Thanks!

Really interesting to see how you approach this kind of work as a professional running a business. Do you prefer splines to tongue and groove?
I find splines are easier because it’s just one setup for all the boards. And for the bigger sign I had just enough width, if I cut tongue and groove and lost some width on each board the sign wouldn’t be wide enough.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks Two very good reasons. Thank you!🙂
With something like this, with a frame like that with the dado, would weep holes across the bottom be beneficial enough to do?
I don’t think they would hurt.

You may be able to borrow a projector from your local library.
Excellent point, I always forget about what great resources local libraries are.
