Pics of recent signs.

Here is freebie job for a friends house. The solid surface routs really well.
Beautiful work. What material did you use?

"Bad decisions make good stories."
The most I can tell you that its some sort of acrylic solid surface (corian). I had picked it up in a friends wood shop who had it in the corner.
Pics of sliding sign. Two pieces if 1/2" sign foam, the top part recessed to hold the sliding face which was made from 3mm sign foam. It was backed with speaker fabric to prevent the ever present idiots who will press hard on the sign and scratch the lettering.
The second sign is a custom wet floor sign for a hotel. I used stainless steel hinges and put in a handle for easy transport.

Got an order for fifteen caution signs show in the post above.
The general manager from a sister hotel saw them and had his deputy place an order the next day.
I have also been told to look out for an order from a third related hotel.
I forgot to get pics of the wet paint version which simply involves the 'slipping man' replaced with a 'paint brush' and replacing the word 'floor' with 'paint'

Great work and congrats on making more income from your JGRO
Thanks guys.
Did this one for fun and it came out pretty good.
The bit took a big chunk out of the hold down on the right Pic1,
which is why I always use plastic ones.
Pic 2: Just before painting .
Pic 3: Painted with a rattle can flat black and masking removed.

Also did more hinged signs but forgot to take the pics before delivery.
Solid surface material 1/2" thick 9"x7".
Carved this piece several weeks ago. I think I will get a keyhole bit, slot the back and hang it up somewhere in the house.
I used a 60 deg bit for the whole carve but next time I will restrict the 60 deg to the birds and use a 90 deg for the border design.
