It is nice to see a gent of my age having a go from scratch. One is never to old until it is too late! I am going to build one, with several uses in mind. I appreciate and endorse some of the comments, but stumbling in the dark is part of learning. To get a fine edge and surface, another person bulk cuts the material and finishes with a finer, slower pass with the same tool. He is not using pine though. To stop bleeding he also spray paints the cut area with clear coat to seal, and then applies the final paint. I subscribed.

Really enjoyed your video. I'm soon going to be purchasing a CNC to play around with and your video was very helpful. I have a tip for you if you care to consider it. I'm a painter by trade and this may save you some time and help with the life of your signs. The tip is to use a clear wood primer. This will have a couple different benefits for you. After you apply your masking to your sign and have finished cutting, brush in the clear primer. This will seal the edges of the masking preventing the finish colors from bleeding behind the masking. Once its dry you can now either brush on the finish or since the wood is now sealed with primer you can spray paint the finish and it will cover much better than it did without the primer. The signs will also last longer due to the primer. You can get a product like Killz Klear primer at Home Depot or Lowes. Hope this helps Thanks for the video, I'm subscribed and look forward to more.

Thanks for the comment. Great idea on the primer! I’ll try that on the next one I do. I’m especially worried about how long these are going to last. I’m in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina and we get snow and freezing in the winter. Will be a real pain if they all degrade quickly…I’ll have to replace all of them and that’s no fun…

Thanks for the video. I was looking for software thoughts for sign making. If I could offer a small thought: After the CNC work is done, spray the freshly cut edges with a clear coat. The clear coat will seep under the edge. As it is invisible, (or use the same colour paint that is there, looks black to me) when you paint the white, the places where it will seep under will be sealed already. This means that when you peel back the masking, it will have less seepage. I hope that makes sense. Best J

Would it be less labour to cut right through, say a 3/8s thickness then glueing it to a coloured back plate. Letters with island centers would have to be cared for differently as the island part of letter being cut would float loose while machining and could jamb and wreck something. If that was figured out might be a less paint labouring way to do the same thing.

Yes... definitely possible to make a good living from a proper. professional CNC router (engraving machine). We started engraving in 2013, and now sell to over 1700 companies and corporations, in 22 countries around the world. So... a CNC machine can make you money... BUT... like anything you want to make and sell, getting market traction is the real key. Unless you find paying customers, you can have the finest machinery in the world, and it won't make you a penny. So this is not about getting a CNC machine. This is really about running a business - and as I say, it makes no difference how fancy your machine, or how professional your products... Unless you get traction in the market, all of this means nothing. Our business is 100% online, and we spent over £50,000 in our first year with Google advertising - but we brought in over £100,000 in sales. After other business costs, we made no profit in our first year. In fact, we only started being profitable in year 3. Today - 9 years later - we've reduced our adspend to less than a tenth of what we spent in our first 2 years, and our websites have good orgnanic results traction on major search engines. Our websites are highly sophisticated, custom-built eCommerce portals, designed to enable easy and fast ordering, easy payments and deal easily with customer enquiries, which are often very complex. If you want to go out and get a high-quality CNC router (or a professional engraving machine), then consider FIRST how you are going to get paying customers... Otherwise your fancy machine will sit idle in the corner of the garage, to be used for an occasional hobby item.
