CNC is nice but chainsaws are more fun!

[SignManiac]

Starting work on this dimensional camp sign. Client wants a rustic look so accuracy and neatness aren't paramount

 

[Marlene]

[J Hill Designs]

[jholbrook]

Love it!

 

[OldPaint]

and not even a "real" chain saw..........yours is electric & light.

 

[SignManiac]

That's okay Joe, even the fake ones still get the job done

 

[signmeup]

Awesome!!! CNC or sandblasted?

Please show a step by step on this one, I can't wait to see how it turns out!

What have you been sniffin'?

 

[SignManiac]

LOL Adrian.

Pat, next I will beat it with some chains and hammers, then blast the crap out of it to expose more grain, then stain the wood, then cut out dimensional letters from 1/2" pvc, beat those up some too, paint and attach to the beat to hell plank of wood.

I'm writing a self help book on how to relieve stress by beating up on signs as an alternative to smacking the hell out of dumb customers!

You just need a dog.

Update

Thought I would show the end result of this one. I'm not doing the install so I'm not sure if I will get any photos of it once it leaves here.

The client wanted a very rustic look and feel. This should look nice in the woods.

 

[HulkSmash]

So sandblasted?

 

[SignManiac]

The background is blasted yes. After I roughed out the shape with the chainsaw.

 

[bjones]

Is Pavilion spelled wrong on purpose?

 

[SignManiac]

Not sure. It's what the client asked for and signed off on. Good catch! I'm not asking now

Try a real dictionary instead of a hand typed website No such word as 'pavillion'. I looked in my real printed paper dictionary, dictionary.com and dictionary.app on my mac, none of them found a reference to the word spelled that way.. Pavilion on the other hand immediately hits the same definition every time.

how did you attach the pvc letters to the wood

 

[SignManiac]

how did you attach the pvc letters to the wood

I used 2" aluminum studs and PL construction adhesive...Gouged up both surfaces really good so the glue had plenty of bite to both surfaces...
