Engraved workshop sign

Postby neilymog » Thu Feb 11, 2016 1:04 pm

An engraved cedar double-sided sign for our workshop in North Wales.

Made from Western red cedar and engraved on the CNC router. A bit of Danish oil and paint to finish it off.

Can I suggest you could have saved a lot of time and material, by cutting the letters and outline separately, and planting them on afterwards

Your end result still looks good though :-)

It's one of those machines that when you buy a basic start up model and have a go, you then tend to start thinking a re-mortgage and a 4.8m bed machine would probably be better for a small workshop knocking out built in wardrobes. Good fun though.
