Just another reason to continue the title "AMAZING KEVIN!" Very net.
-
Try laying ideas out on a split open paper grocery bag. Maybe try cardboard cut letters -- easy to scale down and or up. Use your smallest spring clamps to hold 2 pieces together. Then one can be edge cut down very easily. Make the patterns larger-- easier to reduce than it is to add too. To add though lightly attach to another piece of cardboard and the draw around staying about the same distance out all the way. Use grocery bags, lighter cardboard like cereal boxes etc. You can easily try many ideas this way! You could attach the lettering to a backer of a contracting color for effect also as another idea. Please post some of the progress and the finished project. Hope that I helped.

I modified the stand to add shelves and put a decent light on it! I have a spring arm desk lamp and several holes along both sides of the added shelf. I can lift the light out of the hole and move it to the one that works best for my current project! I also use the bottom added shelf as a footrest and storage too. I set the legs in the "sliders" for hard floors. moves easily without trying to escape as you use it.

Kevin summed it all up! AGAIN!
-
Too late to add; ALL said above! Great job.
-
I just do NOT have the patience for those! NICE!
-
Nice board!
-
Maybe it gets more attention than a neat -- neat ---set-up! People notice the crooked letter first; then read the note!
-
A.Kevin sums it up! Very nice work.
-
I like yours better than the one on the video! Nice JOB!
-
Did you get any sleep? Nice work!
-
AS you probably realize; nice work like this is going to have the designs "borrowed" the culprits may include me! Very enticing!
-
Nice bunch of work! I really like the basket!
-
A.K. being Amazing as per NORMAL!
-
A very neat and different way to make them. I may have to "borrow" that Idea!
-
And DID you have fun MAKING IT? Neat sign! I seem to always give away more than I sell. Fortunately I am lucky enough; not to need the money. Could always use extra, but, do NOT NEED it!

I should add another note to my thought on this. I do not watch much TV-- drink much--- like to "shop". I usually am either reading or making sawdust! Sometimes doing research on computrt or bothering the wood or antique tractor forums also is interesting. Both are therapy an help keep me still thinking. We need to do what we like to do. A woodworking project; even if, just for us, gives a feeling of accomplishment I give a lot of stuff away and sell a little; I do not do it to make money. If I can stay even and score some new shop supplies, equipment every onec in a while, I call it GOOD!> How many golfers-- fishermen-- hunters-- etc-- TV couch potatoes can even be close to that?!

I agree with ike. At least 2/3 of what I make had no real reason; except that is what the wood wants to be! Woodworking is to relieve the stress caused by all the controlling of our lives. The purpose is to give us a freedom that we otherwise always have to surrender for one reason or another! Make what you like and not worry about it! Just enjoy doing it!
-
Thank You to everyone for the kind words and the new ideas! I will be playing more with these.
-
Good for you Dick! Enjoy it!
-
AS a farm boy who makes tractors; I have to say a GREAT JOB! Dick.

Here is my first effort of transferring computer print to wood. I did not clean up the background enough. Not good enough at photo programs. I am sure others can do it better. My printer may have also been not quite right, as I seldom actually use it.

Neat! Very well done! Lewis and Clark heritage center in Great Falls MT has a fantastic display and is even free with a "geezer-pass" (Golden Passport) Was there in Aug of 13-- great displays. The lake of that name is in ND and even into MT. Huge northern pike and other very large fish!

Nice!
