Speaking from Experience: More awards

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

More awards

We are pleased that two of our last year's projects have been honoured in the Signs of the Times annual international sign competition. Each year they receive many hundreds of entries which compete in various categories.

The Institute for the Study of Mechanical Marine life piece (documented here on the blog and completed last September) won first place in the Unusual Signs category. This sign was designed using EnRoute software. It was machined on our MutliCam 3000 router from 30 lb Precision Board HDU. All finishes were hand brushed acrylic.

The WhistlePunk Hollow Adventure Golf project also garnered a second place finish in the same competition in the SIGN SYSTEM Category. This project was also documented extensively on this blog and was completed last July.

These signs and features were designed using EnRoute software. They were machined on our MutliCam 3000 router from 30 lb Precision Board HDU. All finishes were hand brushed acrylic.
