Popular Post Badgerboy Posted June 16, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Finally! I have been making these signs for a couple of years now but my graphics guy disappeared and I was out of luck. My Inkscape skills are not developed enough to recreate my signature design so I was dead in the water. I took a shot and asked @don in brooklin on if he could help instruct me to recreate the design. I had flat file, single layer pdf files but could not edit the various layers to create a new design. Don not only gave me the help I needed but created a template of the design with the necessary layers so I can easily edit the names and out put a finished pattern for my printer. I CANNOT thank Don enough for his time and expertise. Don you are a huge benefit to this forum and the scrollsaw community!! The top layer is cut from 1/4” bbp and the backer is mdf. I cut these on my Pegas using a #3mgt blade. I edge the sign with copper tape used for computer pcb board repair. The Wade sign is my original and the Roach and Steinberg signs were patterned from Don’s template in inkscape. I glue a burned logo disc on the back to brand it and also to help keep the sign flat when hung on a wall. Interestingly the Roach and Steinberg signs were stained with the same color stain just using a different technique. The Roach sign is for my adopted daughter who gets married on Saturday and the Steinberg sign is for my daughter who gets married in September neither of which would have been made without Don’s skill, talents and wonderful generosity. jr42, lawson56, danny and 12 others 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb.j.enders Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Those look great. Love the copper tape. I did that on one of my pieces as well. I also agree, Don is most helpful. He helped me on a couple of Inkscape things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
