Speaking from Experience: Lots of sculpting to finish off routed signs

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

Lots of sculpting to finish off routed signs

The MultiCam has been idle for a few days as we did all the other work required to catch up to what has been routed. The golf sign (with the ship's wheel got it's hand sculpted wheel. Angie got the nod for that task and did a great job! We also started applying the sculpted concrete to the tree and will finish that tomorrow. I'll post pictures later of that. It too is looking fabulous!

Today we bit off a big bite and did the sculpted concrete 'bamboo' posts on all of the signs - twenty nine in all! The whole crew had to jump in and help with the sculpting as concrete waits for no one.

We also got some epoxy sculpting done in the last couple of days and the KRAKEN is coming along nicely! The sculpting on this sign should be wrapped up tomorrow as well.

In another day or two I'll have time to sit at the design desk once more (with a brand new hot rod computer) and do up some more designs in EnRoute. Then a whole new batch of projects will be in the process of routing. Stay tuned...
