I have a little bit of a VW problem and REALLY want a specific German VW sign for may garage wall, but it is $140+ on eBay and I am just not paying that for an 8×12” piece of painted tin advertisement. Nope! I decided to use some of the machines in the shop and just make one myself.
15 minutes of design time in Easel and I moved out to the shop. My sign is not identical to the original, but it is my own take on it. I cut off a portion of 1/16” duel color acrylic sheet that I had in the scrape bin to rough size on the table saw – using my newest and sharpest panel blade. Then, 30 minutes of cut time on the @inventables X-Carve is all that it took – even with a bit change half way through.
I painted the 1/4” mounting screws white with a bit of rattle can special and let them dry. I hung it the next evening and think that the sign turned out great.
