Nicely done, very much so nicely done. Watched someone else do the same thing but its a night and day with your routing and finish. The CNC bits did a great job, the other person used a V bit as wide as the letters so end result was alot of chisel carving and uneven depths along with non exact cuts. These bits are perfect, I dont know I would have thought of that. Hopefully I can hold these old hands steady enough but I guess we'll find out. Nicely done, very nicely done.
Thanks for this! I'd like to make signs, but can't afford the steep price tag of a cnc machine and wanted to start first with a handheld router. Glad you can get similar results!

brilliant video! I'm attempting the same thing soon for a friend's bar. you mentioned that glueing the template/paper to the wood is too messy....that was the plan I had 😫 I'll try the transfer method as you have done. I'm just waiting for my router bits to arrive. subbed to your channel 👍🏻
@@fishtank5050 I'll give it a try & see how I get on....fingers crossed n that. Also some of your creations are brilliant, especially like the rolling stones lips 👍🏻
This is an attractive sign. I love the font. I was a little puzzled as to how you were going to do the plank effect. I thought that you were you going to ruin the sign with the additional routed lines. It was really quite simple, wasn't it? You just didn't route as deep a line when you cut the plank effect. It's amazing what a simple bloke like me learns everyday here on RU-vid. Thanks for the video. I love everything that you do.
Hi Shane loved the video, inspired me no end. I have tried to click on your links with what and where with the router bits, but it doesn't work, Could you please send me the links. Thanks Steve
Loved the video, but I have 1 question. When you routed the horizontal lines from side to side, did you stop the router right where the painted area was, or did you have the router set more shallow so it didn't disrupt the painted area? Thanks for taking the time to make it! Doug
Thank you Doug,on this one I had the lettering routed out slightly lower then the lines,I suppose you could do the lines at deeper depth then the lettering, then paint afterwards ,either way would work..😁👍
Another great project Shane. May I ask, when you apply the linseed oil do you go over the black paint in the letters as well? Just to clarify for me if routing outset letters you route to the outside of the letter and inset letters route on the inside. Keep up the great work buddy, love watching your videos.
Thanks Mike, I tend to go over the whole project with the linseed oil,it won't do the black paint any harm and it all dries the same..like you say outset is outside the lettering, basically removing the back piece,and inset is just removing the inside of the letters ,if you check my latest video, beach life sign I mention inset and outset..
Thankyou, I get most of my bits from Ebay or Amazon, search cnc router bits, the collet is a 6.35mm to 3.175mm adapter reducer collet also Ebay,cnc bits come in different degrees, you can get a mixed pack with 10°,15°,20°,30° in side..
Hi could you please recommend the make of bits please. Thank you for your video it’s inspired me to give it a go. I’m just not certain what bits to get.
Hi Sam, i like to use cnc bits for the lines, and end milling bits for the clear out, there's different bits you can use,but I prefer these,they have a dremel size shaft,3.175mm, so you will need an adaptor reducer collet so the fit a 1/4"shank router...Good luck and enjoy.cnc bits..www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172213663526 End mill...www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353029506162 Adapter reducer...www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402710195555 Hope this helps..
Another great video! Really like your technique. Works for me too! Dont suppose you have a link or details on the collet you've got? Any I get always seem to be slightly too small

Thank you Les,my router is a black and decker dn66 they don't even make them anymore but any router will do these types of projects, I do my lines with cnc bits,my clear out with end milling bits, they both have a dremel size shaft 3.175mm so you need an adaptor reducer collet 6.35mm so they fit a 1/4" router, if you check my latest video titled Rose routed out on recycled pine, all the links for the bits are in the description..Good luck 😁👍
nice job shane do you find it easier without using the plunge on your router i have always used the plunge when routing will give your way a try regards and never tried the milling ends you have been trying out they appear to leave a nice even finish without the need to then tidy up with dremmel
Cheers Wayne,I've not used the plunge for years now,I did at the beginning on a bigger router,but the one I have now is so small and light,its easier just to lift it in and out..I ordered the mill end bits by mistake, glad I did,they do clear out really good...

I've never had a vacuum, I wish I did..on my older videos I just brush the dust away,you dont get alot with pine.but now I have a mini compressor with an airline that runs up to the router.you can see the tube in the video, now when I need to clean I just blow it away by tapping my foot on a pad on the floor...works great.
I noticed that there were two cables going to your router, I was just wondering why? Could you also tell me where you get the collet to fit the cnc bits?
Well spotted with the two cables,one is a airline that's connected to a mini compressor under my table,I use a foot pressure pad and tap it so the air blows the dust away, I used to use a brush,the air works great..I'm going to do a video to show it..
