Eric,
I do custom portraits for my customers with the router and I use the exact same method however I just use regular printer paper and a very helpful tip that I would like to offer up is to use a heat gun over the paper as you are removing the template, it will make it peel off super easily and prevent having to sand before spraying with ink.

With the portraits I do some are extremely detailed which requires me to have much shallower cuts than a standard sign would have and any additional sanding could cause me to lose those details in the shallow cuts, I learned that the hard way by accidentally sanding away some shallow cuts and ruined several hours of work!

Thanks for all that you guys do! Keep up the awesome work!

Thank You for the short daily videos. I really enjoy you long ones, but cannot watch 20 minutes each day. Not to mention that it would be much more work for you!

2 minutes a day is perfect, and most everyone has time for that. Thanks again!

Great video and info as always guys. I am loving the coffee and questions also. Keep them coming.

Eric with those ice cold router skills!! Easy like Sunday mornin' lol. Great video guys, as always, the rubberized mat is a lifesaver, for so much more than just carving. I just bought 5 rolls of it at Dollar Tree.  Thanks for the great content!

Another awesome video guys!!  I will be using this trick.  Thanks for always finding ways to make "my work" look better and better!!

The "Coffee and Question" segments are great.

Who would of thunk about using photo paper, great tip & as always nice work

I use this method for my scroll saw covered in clear tape.  I now am going to use those patterns with the router, I love your video's,  very clear and detailed. Thank you.

Very very cool technique! You Rock my Friend!! Thank You for sharing!

Sean, yes as long as it has a 1/4" collect it will take our router bits. Thank you for the question and for watching.

Good job guys. I am learning allot from you all. Keep up the good work.

very nice video Eric!!keep going on with  C & Q!! Thank u!!

Tremendous video!  I learned so much.  Thanks again.  Larry D.

Eric very nice.

Great idea. This method of gluing you have is common with scrolling which I do more of. The use of a heat gun as one said works faster and neater then peeling it off. You can get a $8 heat gun from Harbor freight which works fine.
