Sign Magic Workshop at MultiCam East information
The registration information for the Sign Magic Workshop is now posted by the folks at MultiCam East. I’m personally very excited about this first workshop on the eastern USA. It should be a fun and informative time.
Painting the trim on the house
Our university students are with us a few more days before they head back to their studies. Next week I’ll be back in my shop once more and things will get back to normal after a busy summer on the house. We’ve been busy starting to install the routed trim and then painting it up in it’s final colors.
City crest on router
Today I finally had the chance to put a piece of 2″ Precision Board onto the MultiCam and route the city crest file I built last week. The file was routed in two passes – one with a 3/8 ball nose bit and a second pass with a tapered flute 1/8″ ball nose bit
NEW JERSEY Sign MAGIC Workshop
We get lots of enquiries regarding workshops away from our studio – especially from the folks on the eastern seaboard.
Last steps to create the crest relief
The last two elements were the most complicated or at least appeared so.
More steps on the crest
The wheat crown on the top of the crest was the next part of the relief puzzle. It like the rest of the relief would use a variety of tool in the EnRoute bag. The vector was fine as is with the exception of the two drop shaped pieces at each end.
Simple steps to complicated crest
A current project in the shop is a three dimensional crest for a city. The file is somewhat complicated, mostly because it involves so many steps and procedures to build the file using a wide variety of techniques.
More trim
There are many files and hundreds (perhaps thousands) of pieces to route for the new house. We are concentrating on the outside trim these day and keeping the MultiCam running day and night. The last few days we’ve been working on the round window trims.
