Awesome, Bobby Lee, awesome! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

 

That turned out great . Can't get over the detail and work involved . Nice job as always BL

Btw , sorry to hear about your back . Personally I'm getting tired of being in pain lol

 

wow, you did that with a router? Like a dremel tool kind of router? That's impressive!

 

I use a Dewalt dwp611 router on all my projects with a modified base plate. I also modified the base by cutting a hole out of it to allow extra light and chip removal. Link to the router I use. DEWALT 1.25 HP Variable Speed Compact Router DWP611 at The Home Depot - Mobile

 

Very nice Bobby Lee

 

Wow...that looks more like a painting than a router job! Incredible. Like Everend, I'm curious what the router you use is.

You keep getting better and better, Bobby. I know she'll love it and be proud of it. With all the great things you've been making, she'll have a museum before long.

 

Thanks Everyone. Merry. Christmas to all...

 

I have that router too, I can hardly imagine getting that much precision by hand. Can you post a video of how your doing it? Really good work!

 

As far as detail and precision by hand; I lift my router a lot. I also go by the width of my lines and not by actual depth. If you like that detail then you should love my Harley Panhead Sign. Have actually been accused of using a cnc on it by people elsewhere and another guy's wife accused me of painting it til' I showed in process pictures of it. As far as a video goes I will try to get my wife to take some videos on my next detailed piece.

 

Wow impressive

 

very nice piece well done sorry to hear about your back.

 

Another step up Bobby Lee!!! You use paint or colored stain??

HJ

 

Thank you John. I used acrylic paint for the pine trees, rocks, water, and chimney. Used a paint pen for the birch trees. A marker for the house. Then mixed walnut and golden pecan stain for the shingles, porch, fence and bridge. Wish I would've thought about mixing the stains for the house before using the marker on it. But at the time the pecan seemed to light and the walnut was to dark.

 

BobbyLee , I like the knot at the top . Integrates into the theme and looks like the sun is setting

 

Nice indeed, but it's the user that is the important part, not the router.

Now, how did you get the router to paint it?

 

Theo I totally agree with your statement of the user not the equipment. I 1st started out using a 11.4 pound B & D Plunge Router before getting my light dwp611 router.

As far as getting the router to paint it. I drilled a hole through the center of my profile bit and gravity fed the paint. Lol just joking my friend. Used a combination of hand painting acrylic paint, paint pens and mixing different colors of stain.

 

Beautiful work BobbyLee. Wifey is sure to enjoy that. Merry Christmas

 

Superb piece. All the best for the holidays and coming New Year.

 

Always loved that sign BobbyLee . Getting accused of using a cnc is truely a compliment more than anything lol .
You've got one heck of a good eye and a steady hand , a talent I'll never possess

 

Awesome doesn't quite cover it.

 

If you're doing this by hand, KEEP AT IT!!! right now it looks like small stuff, but that kind of talent and skill will continue to grow, and so will the detail of your projects, as you continue to use it. Great job!

 

Jack I can most assure you all my projects are done by hand. I have done a lot of smaller simplified signs. But on all my detailed projects I do my best to keep raising the bar for myself so that my skill sets do continue to grow and learn something new from each project that I do. Thank you for the great job compliment.

 

Hey gang, Bobby Lee's a robot....don't let him fool you!

Awesome my friend.....like I've told you numerous times before!! You have set the bar too high for me to reach!!

 

Awe Brother you are always welcomed to stand on my shoulders. Thank you for everything my friend...

 

Fantastic
