Two new signs

Post by **BSImages** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:32 pm

The 1st sign is 12" x 48" x 0.75" and the max depth of cut is 0.65...
The 2nd picture is a close-up detail shot of the lettering.
I love the way it does it's final cuts on letters adding the nice clean groves to the lettering.
When people see it they are astonished! (As am I)
VCarve does a really great job!
The 3rd picture is a 1' x 2' sign was made by scanning in the business card and then converting it to vectors with "Inkscape."
Inkscape is the best free image editing software I have ever seen.

Hey Bill, Yes, isn't VCP really cool? I love your signs, especially the first one. What material did you use on it?...looks like wood maybe.

I'm interested in how you painted the letters with the gold paint. They look really clean and sharp against the blue. Did you prepaint the substrate with the blue, mask then VCarve and paint the letters before removing the mask?

Neat job!

Thanks for sharing.

The material is (Pondorosa) pine.
I primed, then painted it blue and masked it a week after painting just prior to cutting.
I then primed the cut sign and painted the gold.
I discovered that if you pull the mask off at a very low angle (close to the sign) you tend not peel up the paint below.
