I recently completed my first sign in Signfoam. It was a challenge. My benchtop Shopbot has a cutting area of 32" x 24" The panel for the sign is 60" wide x 40" tall. I had to move and register the panel twice to complete the carving. The sign is double sided. I was very nervous not wanting to make a mistake on material that cost $400. It turned out fine.

Well done, I can understand how nervous it can be when doing a large job like that!
Did you use the toolpath tiling to set up the different cuts?

Beautiful work, very elegant and understated, but eye-catching. I own the same size machine, so I fully understand the hoops you had to jump thru to make your sign...joe

Nice job, nice layout and plenty of neutral space.
Great to see no unnecessary arced or rotated lettering and no kiddy fonts.

Phil nice job , I agree moving material on the machine is nerve racking and a pain. Quality looks fantastic.
