I always design in CorelDraw, & export as a .eps to Aspire. It depends upon how complicated your designs are what is easier for you. I've never had to rely on the "tools" in Aspire or V-carve, so I admit I struggle with them. If I need to "trim" something, it never seems to do what I want so I just ...

As usual, Brian ........ nice, clean work. I love it ........

I love the Peggy's Cove sign, Connor. Well done

I love it! Nicely done ........

I didn't say Medex needed solvent based primer.... ExTira needs solvent based primer.

Medex was a popular substrate in Ontario a few years back, but only for a year or so. Pretty much everyone who sold a sign made from Medex ended up replacing it for free within a year or maybe two. HOWEVER .... a friend of mine in Saskatchewan, where it's much drier than Ontario, has Medex signs tha...

BTW, if he needs signage on the main highway, remember, you need 3 seconds minimum for the sign to be read. You need a minimum of 3" letter-height for every 100' of visibility, so at 60mph, that's 88'/second, or 264' that the main copy will need to be legible from .... so 8" tall lettering, with a s...

Redwood .... it depends on if you want it to last or not ....... The attached pic is a HDU sign with no internal support. I found this in my travels, near Kingston NY. Yes, you can put a layer of plywood in between, but I would encapsulate it .... in other words, have it hidden & not exposed to the ...

Not to be contrary, but when costing out HDU, I think it's cheaper than a comparable piece of wood. Clear Vertical Grain Western Redcedar at $5750/ mFBM will cost you $368Cdn, BUT .... you need to joint it & glue it up, then you need a 48" planer ( or plane it on your CNC to get it really flat), so ...

Very well done. Appropriate choice of font, as well.

That's awesome.
Unless you enjoy misery, there ain't much better than a happy wife ...

So, Leo .... .... is "Copicut Gathering" more appropriate?

Devin .... with the stepovers & the Z axis movement, it's hard to speed that up. much & have it still look "real". On a big sign, if you can do it with a .25" tapered ballnose, you'll more than double your speed . I hate sandblasting anymore as well, but I still have to. The CNC is awesome for cutti...

Brian, your work is consistently awesome.......

Interesting texture . Nice clean work . I like .... a LOT!
