Payment Sign
Market Display
Market display sign for local vendor’s farmers market booths. The two part sign consists of a clear laser cut acrylic stand and a cherry veneer laser cut product tag with a small chalkboard area for the price. The design was done in Lightburn. The acrylic stand is approximately 6in tall and the small product tag attaches with velcro. One set of signs was made for PJ’s Meats (MarketOnTheMove.ca) and one set for EFT Farms.
To be able to make this product I built a small acrylic sheet bending tool using a PWM controller and part of the heating element from an old waffle iron. With every project I learn a bit more…
Price Signs
These 24in x 12in signs were made for a local business. The wood is white pine. The design was done in VCarve Desktop produced on my XCarve CNC router using a 60 degree v-bit. The technique used was to first machine out the wood, sand smooth, apply a quick coat of clear sealing acrylic, apply the in-fill paint and then re-sand to clean up the edges.
Demo Sign
This project was just to demonstrate the sign making capabilities of my CNC router. The sign features a 3D inset carving of a maple leaf and script font lettering. The lettering is infilled with acrylic paint and then sanded off to sharpen the edges.
Office Clock
I designed this 12″ diameter clock to test out a number of different sign lettering techniques – V carve lettering, images, different fonts and raised letters mainly. Designed in VCarve Desktop and produced on my CNC router. The wood is 1/2in MDF which I first painted an off-white colour. I then applied a removable adhesive masking film, ran the CNC job and then painted the letters with the mask mostly still intact. The raised letters were carved out separately, painted and then glued in place.
