Beautiful job. Two ideas I have used in painting projects with multiple parts: 1. Prime the back of the large sheet before cutting out the pieces. That way, the back is already marked before the cutting. Saves a step and eliminates the possibility of flipping a small piece. 2. When painting a deep color like your black, I tint my primer. It doesn't have to be as black as the final surface. Eventually when the surface starts to wear, I don't have white primer showing through. Background: Many years ago, we owned a house with wood shingle siding that had been painted brown. It needed a complete re-coat and a painter gave us what we considered to be a fair quote to scrape, prime, and repaint. I told him I wanted the primer to be tinted very close to the finish coat because if it was not done, I was going to be able to see white in the cracks between shingles. I came home one day and he had primed the house in white. I should have just made the house white. He finished with the brown and from that day until I repainted the house myself years later, I could see white primer on every side. That convinced me to use tinted primers under strong colors.

Ugggh shame to hear about the guy not tinting it right the first time. And it wouldn't have taken nearly any extra effort, oh that's frustrating to hear. Thank-you for the painting tips from that experience, hope that helps soothe the memory a bit XD
Ha. Great comment. Even rank amateurs can have skills that the so-called pros can only hope for. I always end up painting my own houses because every time I get quotes from pros, they usually all end up explaining what a crap job they'll end up doing if you ask enough questions. Same with carpenters, electricians, plumbers etc. HINT: most people can't afford the really good ones ;)
Been doing signs for 25+ years, very impressed at your work here. *Tip for anyone doing this type of sign: Using the same coats of paint on both sides of all pieces will help avoid future "Bowing"
Great video! Just a tip if you open the image in Adobe reader you can print it as a poster, just chose the poster button in the print options, you’ll use less ink than with printing with paint
I saw the the green scroll saw behind you at @6:40 and thought, ah he's switching over the the scroll saw now.... but then you pulled out that other scroll saw. Just a beautiful piece of equipment... as a cyclist I'd really appreciate the bonus workout as well.
Your incredible patience and attention to detail amazes me. I’m not sure I could do it. BTW, Utz says he didn’t go the wrong way, he went the LONG way. Geez
Awesome! I know making that sign was labor intensive, but that is so much cooler than letting a CNC do all the work! Oh, and your 150 year old scroll saw is amazing! I think it's really cool that you're using a tool that should be in a museum! My customers are always amazed when they see my 1947 Delta drill press (that I use daily); but your scroll saw leaves me speechless.
Nice job. Did mine for signs over the coolers in a convenience store. Covered the face with aluminum roof flashing for brushed metal look. Still there after 15 years.
I don't know if I'll ever make a sign, but watching you fold(?) up the ban saw blade I had to try your way. Much safer than the way I was shown before. Thanks for that.
I loved that scroll saw! I can definitely appreciate the manual powered tools. I had memories of watching Roy Underhill on the weekends during that part. Very cool sign and a very nice touch on your woodshop! Keep up the great content!
Chris absolutely beautiful sign. Really likeing how this turned out. It reminds me of New yank workshop. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
I commented on you using more power tools recently, and honestly I think you found a great balance. I love your skills with hand tools, and it was interesting to see a scroll saw like that be used
awesome work and stunning shop sign i love that it has both sides so it will swing around and turn.Just keep an eye on heavy storms not that it blow away would be a shame
Your quality of work is impeccable! Man forgetting the 's' shows you're human. But still impressive. A true mark of a master is making a difficult task look simple. Great job!
I watched this last night, but I had to come back and say that this turned out amazing! I want to make a sign like this, even though I don't really need one. 😂😂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that scroll saw!!! I use the same transfer system when I paint cornhole boards. The difference being that I put Painter's tape down over the whole surface first, then use a utility knife to score through the design into the tape, then I have a custom stencil! I will have to remember that it's applicable to cutting things out too!
This is why I'm building a CNC... Excellent video as usual. Keep up the great work. I'm excited to see you get back into the swing of things now that the shop is wrapping up. Definitely want to see anything timber framed.
The sign(s) turned out fantastic! Well now, colour me pleasantly surprised in this age of so much click bait BS on YT, you absolutely, 100% delivered, no BS. Great to see stuff to remind people that before all the fancy tools, computer aided design and CNCs, things got done and done well, by hand with hand tools. BTW, as a cyclist and woodworker, I'd kill to get that pedal powered scroll saw from you :-) LOL
Your videos are so inspiring! How you include the music, your dog, sometimes your son etc. really gives it that old fashioned family oriented feel and I think that is awesome and one of a kind. Thank you for doing what you do and keeping me inspired in the shop!
How the hell do you keep such lovely straight lines on the bandsaw? Mine are but the ramblings of a deranged snail in comparison,although I am still using the cheapo original blade. Great sign, makes a real difference.
From a new subscriber: I enjoyed the outcome of your labors and showing me a new trick or two doesn't hurt either. I had a peek at your video library. I really liked what I saw. All the work of hard work, humility, and I think a keen inventive eye. Got to keep you on my speed dial list for slow days especially. Thank you for all your labors, "under the sun," as Solomon might have put it.

Love the sign, especially the”Work Humble - Stay Hard” bit, I’m starting one now!

That scroll saw surprised me, very cool.
That is way better than CNC! Shows true craftsmanship
Nice to see someone do work like this the old fashioned way rather than defaulting to a CNC.
THATS SO BADASS!! GOOD JOB!!

Awesome. I love it. Thank you so much for not using a CNC on this like so many RUclips woodworkers would have. Much respect.

Nice! It took a lot of patience to sand up all those little parts!
Looks great! Can't wait to see it hanging outside your shop.
Thank you! I understand that cnc's make production work so much easier, but I'm tired of seeing them used for everything! Great work!
Looks awesome! Craftsman is fitting and earned in your name.
Chris, you are amazingly meticulous and focused. That was very nicely done.
Man, even your utility knife has history! Excellent work as per usual!
Nice job. Did mine for signs over the coolers in a convenience store. Covered the face with aluminum roof flashing for brushed metal look. Still there after 15 years.
As a CNC programmer I can tell you have a lot of patience working with that bandsaw
Beautiful sign on a beautiful shop.
Your a very patient man great work all the best
My husband and I think your work is amazing. He thinks that you are crazy. I just think you're passionate.

Looks incredible! I admire your patience on making all those tedious cuts. You're a talented craftsman.
Fabulous job. I am sure it made you feel good looking at the final piece.
That foot pedal saw might be one of the coolest tools I've seen
This is why I'm building a CNC... Excellent video as usual. Keep up the great work. I'm excited to see you get back into the swing of things now that the shop is wrapping up. Definitely want to see anything timber framed.
That scroll saw is so cool! Your skills are so cool as well. Thanks for sharing.
That took a lot of patience. Great job
I can’t decide what I like more - the 150 year old pedal powered scroll saw or the reminder that this stuff is not that hard.
That is beautiful! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That is a beautiful sign(s), am totally impressed. You made that have to make a sign. Keep making videos, I find them inspiring.
Yaay, with results like this, who needs a cnc, eh! The sign just looks awesome 👌 . I loved when utz ran the other way at the start of the video 🤣
That is stunning!
That old scroll saw is real nice. I have an ancient hand crank drill press I have that I will be beginning a restore on shortly.
Your scroll saw just blew my mind... Wow.. Good video.:0
Man, what a sign!! Wow…
So cool, thanks for the video. Techniques lend for an excellent product and simple enough to do in a small shop like mine. Thanks for what you do.
An excellent piece of work, the sign looks very striking, very professional 👍 I would be very proud had I made it.
Hand made far exceeds what any cnc could do. Love the dedication and the outcome

Looks great. I admire your process and really respect while I tend to feel cheap by using a CNC. Good work!
How the hell do you keep such lovely straight lines on the bandsaw?

Very nice.
Love the ride you took. Too funny, but cool at the same time.
Wow that came out so nice. You are such a great craftman!!!
Valspar Duromax 365 (house paint) is what I used for painting my Bob-Craft Ayla 12 wooden boat … 4 coats actually had folks believing I used epoxy !!!
Very cool scroll saw!
Great job. I've been making signs similar to this for years. Very impressive!!
