I really love the care that you put into making this. It really comes across in the video. Can I ask; what was your decision process in placing the hinge where you did?
Thanks! In hindsight I wish I had concealed it, but the original plan was to have an exposed mortise on the top. The hinge would then cover the join. During the project I changed that mortise but then continued with the plan. It's only now that a few people have asked this question I've realised I should've concealed it. The client was happy, but next time I do one of these I'll do the hinge the other way
Is your customer is close to a beach? If so that board will cop some east coast buffeting (probably explains your brief) and will put that shock cord under stress. This stuff goes brittle and will eventually fail (it justs rots) so consider swapping it for chain and building in redundancy by having a second.
I didn't think this video was going to appeal to me, but after watching it, I've changed my mind. I can find multiple uses for a sandwich board, plus I am also getting more confident in making my fist mortise and tenon joint with every new video I watch that shows them being made.
Nice one Robin, the sign looks good. I just wanted to say the effort you put into your video production and story telling really makes a difference, I enjoyed you talking about the greater process as a whole and some of your reasoning and challenges along the way.
Put wheels on one side. Then when you close it and tip it you can pull it behind you. Now there is no need to lift. Wheels can be positioned two ways. Just to one sign board or a wheel on one side of each sign board. Depends on how the person likes to pull it. One wheel on each sign board leg allows for narrow doors and rolling into a small space end wise.
I always think of Robin (from batman) when I see you in that shirt :) ... I noticed you getting a little router wobble when cutting the mortice, I can recommend something like Jay Bates Universal Router Jig. Works a treat!
If it were me, I wouldn't know off hand what would be too heavy and too light. It'd be a case of "I'll know it when I lift it" :P Awesome build as always, Robin :D Looks beautiful!
Great job, but maybe next time when you are cutting that notch for the panel,, maybe use rabbeting bit, it will be much easier and you won't need that fence
Everything about this is perfect....shame you used chalkboard paint, rather than an actual chalkboard. They will literally have to repaint that thing over and over.

What were the dimensions of the sandwich board sign ?
Nice one Robin, the sign looks good. I just wanted to say the effort you put into your video production and story telling really makes a difference, I enjoyed you talking about the greater process as a whole and some of your reasoning and challenges along the way.
Thank you mate, really appreciate it
This turned out great. I like you took the time to inlay the panel and to cut mortar and tenons
Thanks!
Nicely done the sandwich board looks awesome. A very good job of walking through the build. Take care.
Thanks Thom
Hello, what's the measurement of the woods. In inches or feet. And the thickness of the woods?
Nice job. The yellow on the insides really sets it off.
Thanks mate. Works well with the yellow highlights in the merbau
Well done Robin. Great looking sign board!
Nicely done, it’s a nice feeling when someone wants you to build something for them & they pay for it !
Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your thought process and what you learned. 👍 Job.
Very nice work . . . love your minimalist work shop.
Thanks Rod

Job well done, Robin.
Thanks Steve
Cool project. Nicely done, Robin!
i love the light you have on your drill press do you have a vid or build article on it please Thanks Joe
Thanks, I'll try go into it in the next video
Your sandwich board makes me hungry for more of your projects.......
I've never heard of merbau before. Is it pressure treated? What would be a comparable product for me here in Canada?
Nice neat job!
Thank you
I always think of Robin (from batman) when I see you in that shirt :) ... I noticed you getting a little router wobble when cutting the mortice, I can recommend something like Jay Bates Universal Router Jig. Works a treat!
Thanks! Yeah, anything narrower and I wouldn't feel comfortable using the router like that, I'll take a look at Jay's video
If it were me, I wouldn't know off hand what would be too heavy and too light. It'd be a case of "I'll know it when I lift it" :P
Awesome build as always, Robin :D Looks beautiful!
Thanks very much!
Great job mate! I hope the transition into full time works for you. Grab yourself a rabbeting bit. Ya fence won't get in the way then! ;-)
Great job, but maybe next time when you are cutting that notch for the panel,, maybe use rabbeting bit, it will be much easier and you won't need that fence
Didn't even think of that! Will remember for next time, thanks!
@Norbury53 Hahah I'm from Croatia so I have trouble with spelling...
Awesome! :) Love it! :)
Love it, just wouldn't have put the hinge on the outside...
Everything about this is perfect....shame you used chalkboard paint, rather than an actual chalkboard. They will literally have to repaint that thing over and over.
Ummmm....sandwich
