Hey my friend. Just wanted to thank you for this video as it was really helpful. In addition, I want to encourage you to keep making videos because it looks like you are just starting to gain some traction. I know it's been a long grind for a number of years now but, you are very close
Wow! This is excellent. I use clear sheets and engrave the signs and then paint over it using acrylic paints. If I leave the sticker on when engraving, it becomes easier to paint once it’s dry I can peel off. However other times the sticker burns and gets stuck on the design which makes it difficult to paint. Any idea what’s the best way to?
You could try a couple things. If you search contact paper on Amazon, it comes in a roll and you can use that to peel and then paint the negative area you peel off. Or you could also search for a roll of 3M sticky paper that you can apply to the back of the colored acrylic to then stick on the clear acrylic.
I get my acrylic from 3 places typically, JDS, Johnson's Plastic Plus, and Trotec all online. That's cool you were born here before it all turned into not cows!
Hi, been watchng a lot of videos. Could you tell me what masking tape you used? because i clicked the link and the tape that is showed is regular tan tape not double sided. thanks
I found the 3M adhesive on the back to be super simple. Also I have seen you can adhere acrylic to acrylic if you cut them at the same time they will weld.
Great video! I’m using AF PINS to hold my acrylic up off the honeycomb. Really nice quality and easy to use! I may be looking in the wrong place online but I can’t find where to purchase TroTec products. And leads? Thanks
Fantastic result. was the adhesive allready applied on the acrylic sheet or do you buy and place that on yourself? I need ti make self adhesive letters
hi there! is there a standard size for the drill holes (for hanging) that you do on all signs? trying to figure out best way to hang an acrylic exterior door sign and if I need to create these holes or if there is a better way as the holes may not work with my design. TIA!
Hi! I found making the holes no smaller than .125" and most commonly .025" drill holes the best for signs I've made. These specific round signs I cut the 1/4" holes and then it was used to hang from the ceiling by the checkout stand
Thanks ❤️ most acrylic I get from JDS or Trotec. It works for the amount of one of signs I get. If you do a lot of signs I hear it's better to start sourcing local. Tag me on insta @repnmyhood when you make yours sign!
I should have charged at least a $45 minimum for design for the circle logo. And Trotec acrylic comes in full, half and quarter acrylic sheets, the size I used was quarter and they are usually around $15/sheet.
@@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood awesome thank you for your response love your journey btw just finish watching your vlog about the shipping containers keep up the great work and never give up 👏👏😇
Hi I'm building my wood fire pizza truck at Spring Hill FL and I would love to have a neon like acrylic led light signs. I wonder if you can help me with my project. Thank you love what you doing here.
Hi Judy I am going into my busy season at my shop and sadly won't have time to make any custom orders. I do have a recommendation however, a laser friend of mine who is talented himself. His name is Trevor and his email address is amakerexperiment@gmail.com . He's also on TH-cam as well so you can see his past work. Best
Thank you. I didn't charge enough for these particular ones that I made but going forward I would charge $150 at least for the large pieces and the smaller one around $80 with the custom work
It looks great. The design looks fairly easy, I wouldn’t have charge either.
They look so nice! What a great opportunity! She will love them. 😊
Thank you

Hi i am from India i sean your all videos Soo nice 👍 your explained too good and great demo.
Thanks
Very nice and clear explanation. What's the material in black you used?
Thank you. The best acrylic I've found is from JDS or Trotec
Where do you get your acrylic from? I was born in Lutz,Fl BTW! Now live in SC!

That's awesome. How do you hang them? Double sided tape?
Hi, been watchng a lot of videos. Could you tell me what masking tape you used? because i clicked the link and the tape that is showed is regular tan tape not double sided. thanks
Hy dear looking awms. I need to know how much speed you set and power max and min to cut the acrylic.
Looking very good really keep it up
Very good looking signs! Thanks for the valuable tips.
I like talking lasers with you 😄
It is a beautiful job, I wonder how you make acrylic adhere together without glue
I found the 3M adhesive on the back to be super simple. Also I have seen you can adhere acrylic to acrylic if you cut them at the same time they will weld.
They look awesome!
Thanks so much
Does the 3M hold up well over time on the sheet rock wall for the bathroom signs?
I imagine. It's the same stuff you find in Target that has the hooks you place on walls. I haven't heard anyone yet complain..
Awesome work. Love the design
Thanks so much I appreciate that 🙏🏼
Great video!
I’m using AF PINS to hold my acrylic up off the honeycomb.

And leads?
Thanks
Hi, if you go to Trotec website, they call their acrylic material "trolase". You can also check out other great laserable acrylic at JDS website
How did we not know about your TH-cam channel! GET IT👏👏👏
:) cuz I abandoned it after a year lol
@@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood time for a revival? 😁
Fantastic result. was the adhesive allready applied on the acrylic sheet or do you buy and place that on yourself? I need ti make self adhesive letters
Thanks! I ordered the adhesive already applied to the back of the acrylic but you can also purchase the 3M adhesive as sheets on Amazon.
What glue adhesive could you would you recommend to stick acrylic letters on clear acrylic board?
Hi, if it's going to be something you see on the back, then clear adhesive glue. Otherwise, superglue will work as well.
What glue brand would you recommend? Runny glue or more gel like?
@@mariameamouche5849 try Weld On acrylic glue on Amazon
Great Video!!! I am thinking about buying a laser cutter!
Bonjour :) quelle puissance et quelle vitesse utilisez vous ? merci beaucoup

Hi Nickole... hows the machine working.. was planning to buy such a laser cutting product.. can you do a review video of the machine
Love that idea 💡
That's really nice work!! Where do you get your acrylic? I have a friend who wants me to make him a sign for his new kennel.
Thanks!

How can I order something like this? I don't see the option on your website
How much one should charge for the circle logo ? And how much is the trotec acrylic sheet for reference. Thank u for showing us all the steps .
I should have charged at least a $45 minimum for design for the circle logo. And Trotec acrylic comes in full, half and quarter acrylic sheets, the size I used was quarter and they are usually around $15/sheet.
What is the sticker adhesive tape that you use called? I love the idea of no glue!
Hi, it's called 3M you can buy it in sheets and stick it to the back of acrylic before you laser
Thank you for the video! What laser machine do you use?
Hi thanks I use a Trotec Speedy 300 80 watt
can you please tell me which machine model youre using for cutting sending msg from spain :)
Hi! Laser is Trotec Speedy 300 80 watt
What set u rep?
Why do you elevate acrylic off the bed?
Hi, it helps make a better cut on the acrylic letting air underneath so it doesn't get trapped
Niceeee 😍where did you get your machine?
Thank youuuuuuu
Very nice!
Thanks! I really liked the modern look and colors fit so well together ❤
What specific type of 3M tape did you use on the back of your sheets? Looks great
Alexis thanks, the 3M only costs $2 for a quarter sheet when you have Trotec apply it when you buy the acrylic at checkout
❤
How does that “ Jaws” one hang on the wall?
Between a few nails just holding it up, it was originally made to be a poster/coffee table but never made it ❤️
Where do you buy your acrylic sheets?
I purchased this acrylic from Trotec but I also have used JDS acrylic and both are nice
@@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood awesome thank you for your response love your journey btw just finish watching your vlog about the shipping containers keep up the great work and never give up 👏👏😇
How do you hang them?
They have 2 holes cut on the top and hung from the ceiling with chain
