  • McDonald – first work off the new router

    Hi All

    Firstly thanks again to Kevin Flowers, who gave us some invaluable pointers in getting our router set up.

    These were the first few fret cut internally illuminated sign trays we produced on the router. Not the most exiting of designs I know but a start. All told we made 7 similar signs in total and its nice to see it earn its keep immediately from day one

    These are very poor camera phone photos and they do look much better in real life! The signs are intended to be illuminated 24-hours ( I know the non-illuminated text to background contrast isn’t great without the lighting ).

    We’ve done quite a few flat cuts already and its a learning curve to get the best finish.

    Hopefully will post some more technical work in the coming months as get more skilled.

    Thanks again Kev.

    Cheers
    Macky
