Popular Post kmmcrafts Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 I posted this idea and it's progress in the Laser / CNC group here on the village but since there is only 15 members and also since I did use the scroll saw I figured it was okay to post here too.. This project started with rough cut walnut lumber and cutting / planing / jointing it down to do a glue up of a final size of 24W x 15H x 3/4.. Once glued and sanded I put 2-3 coats of Shellac and then sanded it down to 400 grit. I then covered the entire face with Oramask ( similar to shelf liner but way better ) I then used the CNC Router to carve out the text. After the carve I sealed the carved out portion with 3 coats of Lacquer and then hand painted the text with white acrylic paint and then peel off the oramask. Next I scroll saw the grill / utensils from 1/8" Maple and glued that onto the sign with weldbond glue. Next I laser engrave the Red Stag bottle on the laser from 1/8 BBply and straight off the laser top coated the engrave before anything smudges. Then I cut the bottle shape out on the scroll saw and also glue it to the sign. Once all was in place and dry I top coat with 3 coats of Lacquer.. I like these projects where I can incorporate each tool.. I hope to be doing many more projects like this. If you go the the "groups" section and find the CNC/Laser groups and join you can see the progress of this from the original carve design model through to the finished project.
