Router-carved Sign

[Makinsawdust]

That sign should be in the $120-$180 range, however if you didn't give him a price upfront it might be a problem. If you claimed to be a professional sign maker then you could get even more. Most of my customers have a hard time understanding why something like that don't cost around $25 and like for you to come hang it for free. It's the Asian Mass Produced Syndrome (AMPS) that has come over this country.

What a wonderful job Jeremy,

Every time that I rout by hand I make some kind of slip that screws something up. Figure out whats a fair hourly price, add the cost of the wood and then double the total. After figuring out shop time and tool depreciation it's only fair. If he's a good friend then follow your heart.

Good luck,
Jimmy

I agree with Robert and that's one of the reasons I got out of the sign business.

Great job on the sign Jeremy. How deep into the wood did you go?

Jeremy, that sign is awesome!!! How bad did the bit want to run and grab on it's own?

You did a fantastic job on it :icon_thum!

The bit was into the wood just over 3/8". As for it wanting to take off on its own ... well, yeah. Sometimes it would want to take off ... so I added some rigidity to my hold to offset it a bit. Slow & steady paid off ...

Fine work Jeremy. If you turned that out as a beginner with the router you'll be pro by the very next one! You came up with a great layout too.
