Two Signs

I wanted to thank the gentleman who posted that great sign he made for a friend. Unfortunalty I can't remember his name but he'll recognize the work. I've also just completed a retirement sign. Our friends wife was teary eye'd over the house sign. Thank you again!!!
-Looks like I need pratice on posting pics, sorry everyone, maybe on my next attempt-

For those with Win XP (may work on vista as well) - when all you need to do to an image is resize , Microsoft has a PowerToy named "Image Resizer". Just right click the image file and choose the new size. Works pretty slick for me.

Very nice signs, Craig

The only problem I had in cutting the Retirement sign was the arch and straight portion surrounding the CenterLine text. I removed the piece from the CarveWright when I noticed the stepping during the second pass. I handsawed the length but will opt for a jigsaw in the future. I hope I'll be able to resolve the brass roller problem before my next lengthy sign.

Craig,

Great job on the signs! The finish on the house sign is tops.
No "sorry's" for the picture post! In no time you will be doing it in your sleep..

FYI.. You can attach more than one picture to a post.

GREAT SIGNS !!!! Love the Trees in the Oval.... Great Idea !!!!
As for the stepping, old sand paper belts loose the bite and adding a strip of masking tape to the board at the brass roller really helps. Look at the tape after a cut and see the tracks.... A good thing.....

I'm flattered you liked it enough to give it your go!

And never call me a gentleman again :p

You wouldn't believe the response from the wife regarding the house sign! I did mention that I borrowed the idea, but she was just happy to receive it and hung it up within 10 minutes of us getting to their house.
It made the first sign off of my machine a hit!
Thank you!
