The depth gauge has been so helpful, best I’ve seen out there for a simple job. I get so many compliments on the textured background, and always give credit to y’all. But have begun to use the 1/4” spiral upcut to give better definition to letters. Its a great combo!
Appreciate he info fellas, I've just gotten my first router (at age 44!) and I've been blown away at the variety of bits that are available. Really interesting to hear which ones you like for which jobs.
I'm gonna have to try the 45 with some scalloping! I was wondering how you got that scalloping down so nicely. Yet, another great video! Really appreciate it. 🙏 🤠
Thanks for the bit training video. Can you sharpen the round over bit? I occasionally use the upcut bit for inset letters. What are the disadvantages of using it vs. the 60D bit?
Yeah, we can sharpen the roundover bit. The upcut bit gives a 90 degree cut as opposed to the V groove, which makes tear out more likely and it can catch on the sander a little more.
Just finished making a little sign for my garage, I spray painted it then sanded it. Do you think putting a burnt finish with a torch will mess with the spray paint?
Hey Eric, I've watch you prep your boards once some time ago. I thought you sealed the board before placing letters to help with bleeding. I made a sign years ago after watching your video. I can't find the video now. Did you use to seal the wood before carving? Thanks for your help
Hey buddy, we seal the pine boards sometimes because they're more likely to bleed but not very often. We probably should but half the time we forget to
Thanks Gabriel! Harbor Freight has a new Hercules router that's actually pretty good, and it's only about $990 out the door. It's a great way to get started
Thanks Elling! You can use the RUclips search bar and put in Oldave100 #354 or whatever. Also, we usually link any referenced videos in the description.

Good review on your different bits and tips on how/when to use them......thanks guys!
Our pleasure, Lori!
Great video and explanation, Eric and Ryan!
Thanks, Chris!👍👍
Thank you Eric and Ryan! Sometimes it is hard to decide which is best to use. Often times that leads me to the profile bit or my favorite 60 degree.
I'm the same way sometimes. I tend to stick to my favorites!
Great video. Simple and precise explanation of each bit.
Thanks, Bob!
Awesome video , perfect explanation…

If you pass over the paint quickly, it won't hurt it, but if you leave the flame on there for any period of time it'll definitely show

Tutorials are great. Some times you get in the habit of using one or two bits all the time forgetting you have options.
Thank you Brian ❤

What is “inset letters “?
Inset is where you carve the letters into the board, as opposed to carving around them and making them stand out.
Does that make sense?
I attempted to access your store, and it kept saying server not available for some reason ?
