- Hey guys, in this video i'm showing you how to make a Light up Sign. I used some left over scrap MDF for the box, plexiglass for the sign and led stripes. A How to build your own LED Sign video.
Another idea to use a light up sign is as led massage board.

Thank. That's vinyl cutter
Nice project! What kind of table saw are you using?
Alex 2Q Thanks Alex. Tha table saw is an Elu model 1993, made in Italy.
Thanks!
Great! Just think that the gloss paint doesn't look that good. I would rather use matt paint. Keep that up!
Get Hands Dirty I know :), but i had the gloss one in hand...forgot to order the matt
Cool video .. would colored vinyl work the same as black ?
Yeah of course
Wow that is great bro !!!! i really like it !! i can put it on my store with your logo with no problem !!!! is super!!!
Kostas Annikas Deftereos I could build one with you logo on it...thanks a lot

Kostas Annikas Deftereos Should i make one for you?
no man !!! is not necessary !!!! the post will take more money than those you will pay for the materials !!! the best is when you come here to my workshop make one for me ha ha ha hah ha don forget to bring the sticker !!!
Kostas Annikas Deftereos Ha ha cool...i'm definately going to come there!!
Nice, das aufschleifen vom plexi ist einfach genial!👍 Und der Plotter ist ja ein riesen Teil 😍oder sieht das nur so aus von der Perspektive? Grüsse von meinem Kanal 😄
Special-Works Danke dir!Ich habe den plotter für viele Jahren aber seit lange nicht benutzt. Das Project war die beste Ausräde😉
This is seriously amazing. I am so happy I stumbled on this video as it gave me much inspiration. I am planning out a double sided LED display sign build for my storefront sign, to protrude from the building so the sign can be read from both directions. Do you foresee any issues with having this double sided? Also, would you recommend any particular additions if making this sign "outdoor friendly"? Thanks!
Sorry for my late response man and thank you. For a double sided sign, I see no issues. You may need to put more led stripes so the light will be enough for both sides. For an outside use you may use waterproof material such aluminum or steel because wood or MDF will not last long.
@@BillSinWorkshop I ended up getting 2 dual output, waterproof LED strips (1 neutral white and 1 RGB to be able to change the colors for holidays). Going to use a silicone caulk to seal the cracks. For added frost, I also bought some adhesive window frost to apply to the interior. When the frosted acrylic gets wet, it becomes more translucent making the LED bulbs appear behind the acrylic. This added frost will eliminate this from happening when it rains. Thanks for all of the inspiration for this project. Cheers.
@@kevingoudzwaard8828 This is very cool, using both LEDs (white and RGB). Happy to inspire you...
I want to make an outdoor lightbox sign for a storefront sign. Will this work?
MDF is not the best choise Forman outdoor sign. I would go with aluminum or steel.
What grit did you use to sand that plexiglass for the semi opaque look?
Normal sandpaper 120 and 240 grid
what kind of printer was that you used and application. fantastic video i really enjoyed it. i also subscribed and greeting from the USA.
Thank you. That's not a printer, it's a vinyl cutter.
warum ist das logo so wichtig...? das wurde ich heute gefragt. dein video wurde als antwort weitergeleitet! DANKE. wie immer sehr schön geschnitten.
JENNI.SWISS Cool Jenni....Danke viel mals!
That looks amazing! What grit of sandpaper did you use to frost the plexiglass? I want to try it.
Jeremy Turner Thanks Jeremy...i used a 240 grid paper...
@@BillSinWorkshop frosted plexiglass can be used directly right?
@@asokfair yes it can
Ah come on, where are the trolls... If I had all these tools... I would write a different name on the sign. ;) Great job my friend!
Markus Hoffmann Haha...thanks Markus
I currently have an old sign box and looking to create a new sign face and I think this would work for me. What kind of plastic did you use? Also, was that laminate you added at the end for some protection?
I used clear plexiglass and sand down with 240 grid to have that white look for defusion. And never used laminate on the project. Don't know what material you mean.
@@BillSinWorkshop Perhaps Luis is referring to what you're applying at the 2:00 mark. What material are you applying there, transfer release for alignment purposes?
How do you make the print? What kind of program do you need
You do'nt neeed any specific program. A normal adobe reader can print it any pages you need.
what machine did you use to cut out the vinyl
A cutting plotter
A very nice highlight in your shop, well done! :)
Darf ich fragen was für ein Vinyl Schneider/Plotter Model das ist? Ich bin immernoch auf der Suche nach einem brauchbaren Model welches nicht unter den üblichen "Nutzer könnten sich verletzen"-Kinderkrankheiten leidet, und das der Schneidewerkzeugkopf bei deinem ohne Verdeck ist lässt mich hoffen das meine Suche vielleicht ein Ende hat XD
FullMetalFox Thank you!
Ich weiss nicht mehr was für ein Model ist (den habe ich mehr seit 2008). Es ist ein billig China Produkt von eby aber funktioniert super.
(Huh, warum auch immer hat mich Google nicht über deine Antwort informiert)
Trotzdem Danke für die Antwort, nach etwas Googlen und Bildvergleichen glaub ich dass ich zumindest rausbekommen hab das es ein alter PixMax ist, oder ein sehr ähnliches Gerät zumindest.
Aber, dadurch hab ich einige Geräte gefunden die ebenfalls ohne Verdeck oder sonstiges sind und doch recht günstig, also suche Beendet :D
Danke!
what do call that rotating thing that make the acrilyc foggy???
A normal Sander
@@BillSinWorkshop what number of the sander?
What is the machine that print or cut out these letters?
Regular cutter like Cameo, Roland, Graphtec...
thank yah bill sin..m from kenya and was jobless know i make lots of cash making these signs
Cool...Thank you
Wonderful video... How much do you charge for the same... Namaste from India
Thank you, but to make it and send it to India will cost too much shipping and customs.
BillSin Workshop I just wanted to know how you decide the cost...
name of the soundtrack ó music. please. 😢😢😢😢😢😭
Whats the thickness of the plexiglass
You can use the thickness you like there're no rules about it. I don't remember what i used. Its an old project
Can someone tell me the name of the printer
You can find it with those two names: cutting plotter or vinyl cutter.
