Incredible! This turned out even better than I could have imagined. Thank you for making my silly dream a reality

LOVED the tag on the end of the video replicating the PBS "thank you". That is a nice nod to the New Yankee Workshop and This Old House.

Quick tip. For the template at the end, use wax OR Vaseline to cover the template back and edges this prevents the glue from sticking to it. Personally Vaseline is my favorite you can warm it a little and it becomes liquid and just paint it on. Super simple and glue never sticks to it. I also use it in some cases for painting to prevent paint from sticking.

The only criticism I have for CNC machines is that they don't go "pew pew". This sign made my day. I can't stop smiling. Great work ILTMS!

The New Yankee Workshop was one of my favorite shows to watch when I was younger and I've always seen your channel as a modernized version of it which is why I love watching it so much. Brian Kesinger's art and this episode were especially a treat for me. Definitely takes me back. Great job!

I love Brian’s work. So awesome to see the collab. I want one of these signs for my shop!

Love the walkthrough of making one of these signs. I see so many people making them and fewer people taking the time to walk others through the process.

Love the sign, and thanks for that closing, it really brought me back to sitting with my dad and watching new Yankee workshop

Great episode, Bob and Team! I loved all the different areas, along with the tips, you touched upon; especially the primer for MDF. Extra kudos for that tip, thanks! And the sign was awesome too!

That Sign looks incredible... The Art and the actual piece. Truly amazing what happens when two great creators get into contact.

An absolutely gorgeous sign. I remember watching the New Yankee Workshop. Great comparisons between CNC and Laser. Great job Bob, Josh and Andrew on the video. Keep up the great work.

This is perfect timing since I am wanting to make a sign for my shop that I just rebuilt.

That sign looks amazing. I’m in the process of deciding laser or CNC so this video helped a lot.

Great video and excellent comparison. I want both LOL. Thanks for running us through the process of making this sign, it turned out fantastic.

CNC is a large format planer as well. Further CNC tricks can start to replace bandsaws, jointers, and scroll saws at the expense of time and hot glue. I make cutting boards larger than 12" wide ..it is painful to think of life without a CNC to flatten them and make the juice grove. I own a laser and use that for thin high detail projects, but very rarely for cutting as the burnt edge is not my favorite. I would vote 4x4 CNC before laser for woodworkers. My 2 cents. Great video and sign. Now if only CNC machines could prime, sand and paint...🤔.

the commercial pip with content video in the background is genius! love your stuff brother!

Can't imagine a better cross over, Brian's work being so amazing. So fun, so fun, great work

I've loved both Brian Kesinger and this channel for some time. Two great tastes, taste great together.

Great information on CNCs vs Lasers. Thanks for sharing.
