I really appreciate these videos showing your process - it's a privilege to be allowed to look over the shoulder of a craftsman. I'll likely never build a theater sign, or a sputnik lamp - but I'm adding many of these tricks of the trade to my toolbox of knowledge for my own projects. Thank you!

All sounds, especially when installing, made me remember the good days when I used to work in the signing business with my family. It makes me want to go back to my home country and build Signs again, thank you for this!

Great video. Just had a look on Google maps, street view and the sign still looks as good as new. Great work.

Another Treat for the eyes and soul! Thank you!

We're enjoying your videos a lot! Keep it up! You'll be earning (and hopefully modifying) your Silver Button in no time! Cheers!

Love your videos! Great, entertaining editing, not a lot of wasted time, witty remarks, and interesting content. Subbed and keep up the great work! You're giving me lots of ideas and motivation!

From each video you learn a point that was unknown how, Thanks a lot for your nice tutorial video, hope to see more of your creativity.

Can’t wait to come see your workshop once I move back to Texas

Great sign!! Very nice work

Wesley don't pay any attention to the people that leave stupid comments. I enjoyed the video and how it was produced, very entertaining.

Great video my friend! Thanks for sharing

Brilliant Wesley. Love the new format and presentation style. For me at least, the humour content is nicely balanced to make it entertaining without losing the seriousness of the subject. I have a stupid sense of humour and tend to go over the top in my videos so have my mates watch them first to check I have not gone too far (don't think that is a problem for you). My 2017 special was comically uncensored and you can tell! Seeing the finished sign go up and the round up at the end brings the video and the storyline to a satisfactory conclusion. Much better and more inspiring than most of the cr*p on TV. Looking forward to future videos. If I could give it more than one thumbs up I would. Cheers buddy.

Sweet man! great job...

Cargo pockets are very helpful for install days. It turned out great.

Thanks!

Liking the intro.

Well done. What a brilliant way to make a weather-proof offset sign. And you even spelled theatre like the rest of the civilized world. ;-)

That's a very cool looking heat gun.

Fantastic sign, Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to create, edit and post your videos, I really enjoy them. Can I ask what type of blade you’re using on your bandsaw to cut the lettering out with ?

cool video

Awesome

Sweet sign

Blimey, that was more tense than an end of season finale! :) Great build as always, but the site work seemed a little too hairy for my liking!

i like your SG sign

I really like your videos and just subscribed, but can you please at least level the audio? To me it sounds like your tools are 2x the volume of your voice and I have to constantly turn my volume up and down to keep it at a comfortable level. Thanks and I look forward to more.

Thanks! If you're in the Dallas area, try E&T Plastics. (Not to be confused with the similarly named E&D Plastics.) They currently sell the Komatex brand.

Hello Wesley, I'm a fairly new subscriber, great channel! What's the best way to transfer the template to your material? (you skipped that part)

@WesleyTreat

Print it out on a large-format printer, the use a light spray of adhesive on the back.

What thickness is your PVC board? And can you use this method with acrylic channel letters?

@WesleyTreat

6 жыл бұрын

The PVC was 3/4". And I've cut acrylic on the bandsaw before, so I imagine it should work.

How much do you charge for something like this?

Nice job, Question. I would be concerned about the long term weathering of the material. I know PVC is pretty good, but did you do anything else to help with longevity? Awesome job!

As long as you paint it with outdoor paint so the PVC is protected from UV light, you should be fine. 👍

Wow

How do you get the letters on the pvc? Thanks

It's a neon sign I did for the Suicide Girls' office in L.A. I'll be doing a video on it sometime in the future.

Yes, you can use PVC glue with it, which I've done with other projects.

Is that a ShopSmith bandsaw?

More narration would be awesome.

I find any narration explaining what's already on screen to be unnecessary, but I have started to add commentary in more recent videos where it might help to clarify something. Thanks for watching!

LOL. You forgot MICROJIG!!!

the idea of been on video more is great. however try keep it short and do follow up as the video goes. I've watch a ton of KZread ad what you need is to keep entertain. avoid so much of one thin like cutting and screwing once in a while the bullets sounds with the airgun goes a long way. cutting the sheets is OK but maybe twice. hope this is constructive. I've wanted to get my own channel but is not as easy as said. you already have a style so it's good. keep the videos coming!!!

The longer the video the better. I really dislike short videos :p

FUCKING SAVAGE BRO

Something about the face-on-camera bits makes the image of you look a little cold and washed out. Maybe the lighting on your face is too direct, or maybe it has something to do with the camera exposure or depth of field. Not entirely sure. Also, hearing from you personally in the beginning set up an expectation that it would happen again. I was left with a lingering expectation of "When's he going to talk to us again?", which changed how I perceived the non-narrated bits. I'd suggest that if you want to do a spoken intro then you ought to come back and speak at least every minute or so during the rest of the video. Not necessarily on-screen; overdubbed narration could be very effective. Depending on how you did it, that might make the video less artistic and more expository than your usual stuff. The installation was fun to watch. It's a sort of thing that I don't get to see often in real life. The finished product looks fantastic.
