    Had the exact same problem a few years back.
    When I made the mistake, I had seen Eric's video previously about that issue.
    No panic. Just followed his advice and had perfect results.
    Thanks again Eric for all your help and support.
    I've been quiet, but still making sawdust.

    Howdy Mr. Eric.
    Thank You for taking the time to show how to fix a mistake. As I was watching, I kept thinking 🤔, why is he bothering? It probably took more time to correct it than to just start over....he's so quick with the carvings, it would have saved so much time.
    Ohhh...."THATS" why he did it, he was just showing a technique on how to fix something like that and as you mentioned towards the end, if it was an actual sign, you would have just started over.
    I appreciate your time and effort in doing this video. Thank You. 😊

  • @JoshJorg44
    @JoshJorg44 Год назад

    Great fix! Another idea I just thought of, especially if its small and will be painted, would be to use a strong wood filler, then over fill it and carve it back out.

  • @TenmaFN
    @TenmaFN Год назад +1

    I would think that a cutoff of the original board would be better as the grain would match and there would be less to shape down.

    • @oldave100
      @oldave100  Год назад +1

      That's definitely a possibility. It's all in the grain of the particular board you're using and how consistent it is.

    I've repaired a few mistakes but not like this. I just cut out the place that was messed up, and cut a small piece of the same wood, and basically routed and sanded it till it matched. That seemed to work pretty well for me. Good video, though. I never thought of replacing the whole letter.

    • @oldave100
      @oldave100  Год назад +1

      Well, if the letters were inset, you'd have to feather out any bobbles or shaky lines and try to keep it as close to the same size as the others.
