WELCOME!

It is hard to believe that it was almost ten years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated and simply had to have one! Although I had been in the creative end of the three dimensional sign business for most of my life I didn't really know what I would do with one of these machines - but I just knew it could do fantastic stuff.

Along with the CNC router I discovered the wonderful material called Precision Board and the glues, primers and other companion products they offer. Since then we have gone through many tons of the material using it in most signs and projects we tackle. This journal will chronicle our many adventures both past, present and future. I'll talk from the perspective of someone who pushes these products to the creative limit on a daily basis. I'll be adding to the stories two or three times each week. -dan

Eureka!

Quite some time ago I started a sample sign project. Here's the link. But then we got busy. It has sat in the corner gathering dust ever since. But good ideas can't stay dormant forever.


As I thought about a needed weather vane I knew just what I would make. I removed the tracks as they were too short and instead welded up some steel pieces that would be a little stronger too. Then I did a little sculpting using some Abracadabra Sculpting epoxy. It didn't take long to have the piece done.


I'll let it cure a couple of days and then we'll give it a few coats of paint. It won't be long until it gets installed on the water tower - a perfect fit for the mining theme.


Every detail we add tells just a little more of the magical story.
