Routed Sign Making #1: Routed 'Sign Making Class'

I’ve done this with a router, but I’ll watch since I need to figure out how to get into small corners!
Thanks!

I made one sign with a Dremel. It came out OK, but not anywhere near as nice as the picture you show here. I’ll be watching with interest.

Look forward to follow.

Looking forward to this….....but can we use a trim router ?

-- Life used to be soooo much simpler!!!!

The Dremel is suggested since this is the tool I used for this size sign. You are welcome to apply the basic concepts to your toolset and style. With larger bits you’ll obviously need larger ‘minimum radius’ at the corners therefore larger text such as with large signs. The other thing about the plunge router, big or small, is the ability to set a specific depth to plunge to where as with a fixed base you may have to enter at an angle which may/can be dangerous. Safety first.

I’m looking forward to following along. I’ve been thinking about making a sign for my sisters cabin. Great timing.

Sounds like a winner to me. I look forward to it and thanks for doing it for us.

I do the same type of thing with my epoxy inlays. I don’t know that I will have time to participate, but I will be following along. Your sign looks great.
