First Routed sign

[multitom]

Inspired by Barb(Out of the Woodwork) beautiful ,artistic routed signs.

Free hand routed with a V bit( not much familiar with these) used a colored felt pen , this is really a newbie sign and tons of mistakes  . 

All comments are welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Very good job, hand cut with router, is actually very complicated, need a lot of experience.

To be your first job, is wonderful.

I agree with Frank, For your first go at it I think you did well,

Thank you for showing Mahendra,

Nice first go Mahendra as Barb said previously no so deep and then you might find it easier to flow and not dig in. I usually use a template on my routed signs.

but you could be as good as this guy in the video.

Thank you ,Frank,Bob and Roly- the depth was not so deep,I think the uneven surface was the cause ,great video ,yes! Someday I wish I can reach a small percentage to what speed ,acuracy and ease as he does( wishful thinking):-)

It comes back to what Don Rob said Practice,practice and some more practice . Thanks Roly.

Mahendra, for a first attempt at routing freehand that's brilliant. It's like your pattern making, it will improve with practise, your patterns are now excellent so I'm looking forward to seeing more signs soon.

For a first go, not bad at all.  You know the words well, practice, practice practice.

Totally agree.

for being your first one I think it looks great. Free handing with a router takes some practice. That how I do mine as well. Personally I like it better than templates, many more options to the style (fonts) and sizes of the letters. Stay with it.

Hi Mahendra:

I'm jealous - Nice work - It only gets better from here

Roly:

That video made me sick

I only dream of doing 1/2 of what this guy does

Who knows, with a lot more practice and cursin'

I may just get there

Thanks for showing us your work Mahendra

Thank you all for your words of encouragement:-) Bit down with a lower back problem but will practice free hand with other fonts.

Nice one Mahendra. I've tried that a time or two, just don't have the steady hands tho. Great job.
