I've done similar mounts with a strip of 1" x 1/8" stainless steel instead of the routed piece in the first post.

Nice job.

I was impressed with the altitude he was able to attain! He nearly succeeded!

I can relate to the OP... I have a pretty 17 year old daughter. Her boyfriend knows to watch his step though. Seems like a nice kid.

Thanks Jill. I designed it for viewing from a distance so I exaggerated the depth of the cuts and the colours quite a bit. The raven's feathering is quite deep because it is painted plain black with no highlighting and I wanted the shadows and reflections to give it some dimension. I won't know...

I shuffled the elements a bit. I would lower the name bar and change the format of the address but I don't have time and you have it all in vector.... Hope it helps

Thanks again Doug. I see I have Windows movie maker so I'll give it a try once I get my work caught up. Here is a link to my site that shows some carving steps and some of my tools are visible in the background of some of the pics. http://www.showpiecesigns.com/carving.htm

Yeah that's pretty much what I use. I have a 2" wide flat one for for the long straight V cuts and one that I bent for going around corners. I use a 1" chisel for the ends and the serifs. I use a box cutter if the letters are small. I used to use the box cutter for larger letters but my hands...

Doug, I might give that a try but I don't really know anything about posting videos. I have a camera that will make avi files but they seem pretty big to me. Is there somewhere I can get some info on this? (I know... "let me google that for you") but since you did some videos I thought you might...

Here's one I just finished. It's 4'x4' double sided HDU. The little apples are magic sculpt. The raven and the larger apples were carved out of HDU and applied. The rest is carved in place. This is the first sign I've made for a farm so I'm hopeing some other farms will get into some...

I don't think Mosh "misspelled" any words. I think he wrote it like that on purpose. BTW... if you press the shift key it makes letters bigger. This is often done at the beginning of sentences or people's names.

You actually don't? wow!

I refuse to deal with companies who are US only!

I think when you leave the sign with a promise from the customer to pay you, you no longer own the sign. You own the debt you settled on. You wouldn't sue for the sign... you would sue for the debt if he didn't pay you. Hey... what would happen if you fell while repoing the sign? Could you...

Let's see a pic. It might be possible to hand carve them. In fact... it might be better to hand carve them.

I think most scams are fueled by greed.

The only flaw in the plan is if they say "keep it". Then what?

Love it!
