My hypocrisy goes only so far |
Decided to get back into selling some of the items I like to make as the local winery two miles from my home hosts “popup markets” 4-5 times a year. The owner asked if I was interested & my wife suggested I should as an outlet for all the crap I make for no reason other than I enjoy making them & things have been piling up around my shop. But after going through my old sales stuff I realized I wanted to upgrade my sign / shingle I hang up in my booth as the old one was just a painted one. So over the last month of crappy weather I was able to carve a new one. It’s 72” x 14” so no one should bang their head on it in the booth. Now I can get into cranking out some more product to sell.              U.S.M.C. VFW-8054 III% "Never let a Wishbone grow where a Backbone should be "  | ||

As I work in the sign industry, WELL DONE! I know I'm a color science director and have automated CNC routers that do this, I love to see it done the right way. By hand. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Wish I could work fast enough carving signs to be profitable but you just can’t compete with a CNC U.S.M.C. VFW-8054 III% "Never let a Wishbone grow where a Backbone should be " | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Well there is an intrinsic value to not having it done in record time by a machine, man made is always a step up and should command more money than a CNC version. Well done GB, very nice piece. | |||

That’s some skillz!! I have finally convinced my wife that upon our relocation and settling in, the few tools i lack for making custom woodworking items but, i just might need to try my hand at wood carving (doubt i’ll get past 1/2 of a project but will need to try.
