I’m not only watching this for learning purposes, but I like the fact that is a generation to generation business ( that’s the beauty of it . Hope Ryan keeps  it going  in some way ....... good job guys..!!!! There’s nothing like hand work !!!!

Love it when these older videos pop up in my suggested feed.

I totally agree with Dave's comment near the end about it looking like it was robot carved. After all those years of carving you really do make it look great, and easy. I recently bought  the profile and the 60 degree bits from you and can't wait to use them. I have a full size porter cable but I am going to wait for my 611 to be delivered in a few days to use them.( After I modify it.)  Thank you also for your marketing tips video. I'm excited and can't wait to get started. God Bless you guys!   Steve

I'm glad I found your channel.  Great videos for a newbie like me!  Keep up the great work!  I just can't understand the thumbs down from the few viewers.

Cedust sneezes (Ceder Sawdust sneeze), I understood that (at 21:58).  I have had to start using a respirator for exactly THAT reason.

Another GREAT demo and something that really suites me just fine.  After five years of you teaching me how to carve, I FINALLY feel a little more confident to go out and try making some inset letters.  As you know, I have been staying away from inset lettering, and when I DO have to do inset letters, I do it with the profile bit.  For me, a MUCH better looking letter.

We have been set up this week at our County Fair, and wow, the response has been really spectacular, and I owe it all to you two guys.  Thank you a million times.  Only two days left, and I hope to see you there again this year.

Awesome tips Erric.You Rock !!

Thanks guys!  It's good to see and hear several times how things should be done...it takes me about 7 times to really "get it", so don't worry about repeating yourself!  I've made some nice signs lately, thanks to the info I get from you.  And I bought one of the clear router bases with the two handles...what a difference in my accuracy and precision!    I'm wondering if you could set up a picture album of all the signs your students are making, so we could all see them?  Keep up the good work...Omar

Hey Dave, Great time watch all your videos (you’ve got a lot of them).  I have made signs for  along time now as a hobby for myself, family and friends, just for fun. I like to paint them. (I’m still working on the Live Simply sign). I found your channel not too long ago and I’ve really enjoyed learning from your videos. I even went and bought several of your router bits. I think they will improve my work. I went and built myself the router base plate, and modified the router housing as in your videos. However, I found that even with making that hole, I wanted more light directly on the work.  I have now modified my Mikita RT0701C  to allow an led to be installed in the housing. I drilled out one of the existing holes in the base with 23/64” drill bit.
 
I then inserted the led ( with a little Glue), and wired it to a 12v power supply (wall wart)
.
Here’s what it looks like and it works great. I also attached an inline switch along the Makita cord so I can turn off the led.
 

Here’s a list of the parts I used from Amazon.  Let me know what you think. Is it something useful to you? You’re welcome to use it in a demo video if you think it will help others.

Thanks for another great outstanding video. I look forward to them every week. Also you coffee in the mornings.

regarding the LTS free gift. yes i saw it and downloaded it. i did not know it was the gift but thought maybe it was. in time all things will be revealed so for me waiting paid off. Thank you. I also agree with Omar repeating things now and then is good because you don't always repeat them the same way and the information may assimilate with someone differently, human beings are diverse like that.

Great wood sign making videos! Thanks Dave.

Dave and Eric are sign deities.

Thanks Eric!
