This clearly is a sign of things going in the right direction
Keep up the cool content! I love the goofing around I am the same way. Make me laugh.
Great, now I need to learn to weld.
Nice Sign, great tutorial, appreciate you taking the time to explain your processes.
Thanks for sharing.
Like your video Especially the tutorials on how it's getting done. Using fusion 360.
Thanks. I hope they were helpful you.
Beautiful sign !! Keystone girl definitely dropped the ball 😂😂
Not a paint shop he says.... Looks awesome! Thanks for another information packed video
Hell yes, thank you again. I need this.
Great video, just learned some new tools and tricks on how to set up layers and offsets.
Looks great! Even better than I thought it would. Really appreciate the effort you put into it! I'll send a pic once we get it here and get it installed. Thanks again.
Glad you like it John. Im really happy with how it turned out. I would definitely like a pic with it mounted so i can share it. Thanks again for the business. Was a perfect fit for this video on layering.
Great video!!!
Thank you!
That sign is awesome!!!
great videos, i recently ordered a table for my shop. looking forward to making some cool stuff.
This is actually really helpful in many ways! From 1 Hoosier to another, i appreciate you doing these demos. Well done!
Great video. I knew the lead in had to be reduced to get smaller cutouts to work. Now I understand how to determine what it should be. Sign looks really great. I really don't like painting, so I powder coat everything I can with a inexpensive powder coating unit. Your shop might be too clean for that though. Anyway, thanks for the video.
great video, learned a lot thanks
Awesome! Love it!
Great video! Keep them coming!
Winner but way too many tips in one video!!! Thanks, applying a few to my in-progress sign designs!
Dude. I love your channel!!! You And Lift Arc studios are awesome at calling out stupid viewers and showing dumb comments!!! Love your new place and more than that love how clean your shop is I also do a lot of custom signs on my Langmuire table. Love it. My wife and I always enjoy every video and especially how you goof around to keep us laughing in a world where we need something to laugh about. Thanks man 😊appreciate all your hard work on editing too sign looks awesome 😊
Thank you very much for that great comment. Viewers like yourself make CZcams worth doing. Ill have to check out Arc Lift Studios too. Thanks again and ill keep the videos coming.
I love broo thanks for teaching everything 👍
Nice video! Really liked how well you showed your process with Fusion 360. Your sense of humor, and yourself having fun enjoying making these videos adds some character and fun to watching your videos. Keep up the great content and work with your channel!
Thank you. I hope it was helpful
Nice video! It would be great to see an in depth video of how you go from the canvas image the customer provided to the finished F360 drawing. Something that shows how you get all the curves, custom letters etc. Keep up the good work.
I do have a couple more videos with some of that information in them. Id like to start posting more of the cad videos during the week. Thanks for the suggestion.
Very cool paint job! Sign turned out as good as I expected it would.
Thanks buddy!
Hey man love your videos! Just got a new 5x10 STV Plasma table and started the assembly this week. I’ve been using Fusion 360 to do some design for some conex build outs we are doing but haven’t really gotten great with it. Even though these videos have been around doing signs, they have shown a lot of features I’ve either used incorrectly or just didn’t use due to not knowing how or what they did…. I’ve learned that CZcams channels like yours are the best way to learn these things instead of my 30$ Fusion 360 book. Thanks for the help and keep up the great content!
Thats great. Theres another channel, Lars Christiansen. Thats where i learned. I agree with you 100%. Thanks for the comment.
Badass! Nice work man!
That sign came out sick man. You should do a video giving tips on painting. I stopped painting because I just kept messing everything up. I’d like to get back into it, but I suck too much at it
Thanks! Its just spray paint. I do take my time with it so it looks as good as it can being spray paint. I dont blame you. Painting them is a pain in the ass.
Like your videos and love your humor. Keep them coming...Nice job on the sign!
I appreciate that.
That's a damn good looking sign! Love the standoff. Ace of Base doesn't have sh!t on you!
Well put Adam.
Wow ! That sign turned out sweet. What a great informative video. Thanks. I also have the Crossfire Pro and have cut the F Bomb out with no problems. 1 piece ive cut on it in 1 year. lol
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
Wow!!! Its perfection. I learn so much from you brother,, keep it up. 😅dont make us wait for the keystone girl.
Thanks buddy. She’ll be back soon
You sir are the sign genius!!! That turned out amazing!!!
Well i dont know about that but I appreciate it. Thanks Doug!
Beautiful sign! John should be proud to display this! He should also help you drum up some more business when people see it. $500.00 is a steal!
Is the skin cancer guy back? Hahaha 😅 it's funny how some people are so jealous that they have to find something negative to say and then troll along to the next channel. The Fusion lesson was excellent as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your sense of humor! Your wife is a great sport.
Thanks for the nice comment buddy! Much appreciated. I was very happy with how this one turned out. Ya every once in a while a get a negative comment. Most are positive but its all part of the gig.
That is an awesome sign. Simple as that.
love the videos.... just bought a laser engraver - gonna start small and one day move on to plasma table and my own shop.... keep up the good work!
Thats a good plan. Ill keep the videos coming.
nice work! 👍
Really ENJOYED the video. Again, an outstanding balance of information and personality. I hate those things that begin, "Hello. My name is Mr. Ed." YUCK!
@@earlcousins6635 thanks Earl! I agree. Those videos get boring real quick.
Get an easyscriber. It's great for layout. You could scribe the stand off locations then cut the letters with the back facing up. Great for bend lines too.
Killer sign! and good tips. I also run a small metal shop cutting signs. keep up the good work and great videos
Thanks! I appreciate that
Hey thanks man. Subscribed
My sign! How cool!
Hope you like it!
Came out nice!
I think you do a awesome job. Really appreciate the tips and tricks.
Thanks Jason!
What a nice made sign man, really like the way it turned out :)
Thank you!
Great work again brother! And just for the record,, here in Ohio a sign like that painted w/risers easy $1500.00 so he's definitely getting a great deal for that sign. The video I done on the car lot sign is a $1000.00 and that's just backlight and I installed it for him for that price. But no paint just rustic look with satin clear. Anyhow I'm blabbing away.. Keep up the good work!
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it. Sometime if i know it will make for a good video i will give them a deal. But i agree it was a good deal.
Oooo my kind of work as you know from my Instagram. Super job
Thank you!
Really nice work 👌
I’ve only done single layer signs so far, I’m thinking of studs welded on and smooth tubes for stand offs, it should eliminate the need to fill weld the face.
Eliminating the face welds would be great. The reason i do it that way to for placement. I dont have to measure anything when i mount the second layer. Id like to figure out a way where i could do it without filling those holes.
I was waiting for the accent LED lighting. I feel like the customer missed out on requesting that from you especially since you are an electrician. I’m thinking just a small set of light changing 5 V LEDs that would give them the option of brightness, color, on/off, or motion sensor. Great job and not a bad price. I was wondering how many jobs it would take to pay for a Langmuir system Since I already have the plasma cutter.
Those tables are very reasonably priced. I have a link in the description if you want to check them out. If you have a plasma cutter already, the table is only like 3k. Could pay for it pretty quick.
Your videos have been soooooo helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make them!
No problem at all. Im not an expert by any means, but i like to share what ive learned. Ill have more videos like this in the future.
Keep up the great videos! I sketched up my first multi layered sign after watching this video! What is your method of creating separating cut paths for the different layers? In the video, you go from multi layered sketch and jumped to all the pieces on the same plane (around the 11 minute mark of the video)? Awesome work! Cheers!
I turn them into bodies and then i just move the layers off each other and manually nest them. You can select them individually in manufacture too if you want to cut them separately.
I really learn a lot from you, thanks for the quality videos and great content!
Thanks! Glad to help.
Thanks for another informative and funny video. It was exactly what I have been trying to learn. I have a few questions: Where did you learn Fusion 360? Any other resources besides CZcams university? ; ) Have you ever cut a sign that was larger than the capacity of your table? We have the CrossFire Pro and would like video on cutting larger projects. Thanks and have a great day!
Glad you liked it. I learned when i got my 3d printer. I learned a ton from Lars Christiansen. He does a great job explaining what all the tool do. As far as larger signs, i have a shop with a large fiber laser table i sub them out too. I create the file and they cut it. I found that more cost effective with material handling. Ive never done any segment bend with my machine.
You’re a genius.
Well I dont know about all that, but thanks for the nice comment. I still have a ways to go.
im not your subscriber, but i like your videos. beers up 🤟💪👌😁
Thanks!
I have been struggling with doing a layered sign for a whileand it has been driving me insane, especially the part with creating layers and making aligned holes for the spacers. I kinda wished for more detail in the F360 design section (Why so many bodies? What are bodies? Are bodies better than sketches? I'm really missing something there...) but I think I got the gist of it and I'm way better off than I was yesterday!
Thank you very much! Don’t hesitate to email me and i can do my best to guide you through any issues you might be having.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I may take you up on that!
love your videos man, you speak my language when it comes to teaching, it just all makes since to me the way you lay it all out, thank you.
Glad it was helpful for you. I appreciate the comment. I will have more of these videos coming.
Excellent work sir! Great tutorial as well…thanks!
Yeah we’d be charging 2-3k for that. You gave him the direct family discount for sure!
Dang. I need to up the pricing. I feel like they’re worth more.
My God, I thought you were gonna have a seizure. Why? Being that serious for so long! Hahahaha.
Haha. I know. I had to really hold it back.
Is the plate support in your table something different than what langmuir sends with their machines. Looks like it has peaks and valleys that the material rests on instead of the flat stock that comes with the machine
Yes it is. I have a file that i have laser cut for those table slats. The pointed slats are way better than the flat. Less points of contact. I just sold my last set of aluminum slats. I do have one more set of mild steel slats for $175 plus shipping
😎👍🏼
I was low key sad i didnt see you powder coat 😂
I hate paint jobs. I was happy with that one though. Its only spray paint.
I enjoy your videos mate, I am in Wale UK. Do you have to pay for Fusion or is that the hobby version
Thanks! I used the hobby version for a year. Thats when they start to restrict your saves and some other features. I payed for it for a couple years and now that im an affiliate i have access to it for no cost. They do offer deals every so often.
Very nice sign. Love the layering. What do you use for the stand-off spacers?
Thank you. I did leave a link jn the description for the stand offs. I get them from McMaster Carr
You’re ridiculous, bro 😂
what settings did you use for your hobart welder to tack and fill holes in?
I like using 4 and 40. Its a little hot but it helps blend with the steel when I grind it.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC thank you i will give those settings a try
Nice job. It's possible to do this in the free version of fusion 360?
Ya you can. Theres no restrictions with the cad tools. Just get restricted with saving files and some other features after the year trial is up.
Hey are you self taught at fusion 360?? Im trying to learn as much as possible before I pull the trigger on the XR table. In the process of starting a shop.
I am. I started learning cad when i bought a 3d printer. I watched a handful of videos on Lars Christiansen. Hes amazing with fusion. After that it was just a lot of trial and error. Theres definitely a learning curve but its a fun challenge. As long as you stick with it, that machine will pay for itself. Good luck and feel free to reach out with any questions.
Do you think its required to drill the hole for the stand offs to weld them? Couldn't you just weld them by holding them straight with another piece of steel, like a block? Then there are no grind marks on the surface and could save time. Thoughts? I get using the screw for the squareness, but can it be done without.
I know what your saying. Ive tried it that way and its a pain to get the placement perfect. Especially if you have multiple layers or pieces. The reference holes on both layers takes all the guessing out of the placement. Theres other ways to do it, thats just the way i prefer.
@@SpicerDesignsLLCthat makes sense. I could see being off only by a mm or two can make the lettering out of alignment and holes not lining up. Thanks!
How did you set all layers as separate in manufacture? You didn't show how you did it (see minute 11:16) I want to learn how you can cut all multiple layers at once. Thanks in advance!
You just right click the body and move/copy the body off to the side. You can orientate them all to cut or cut them separately.
Bought me 100 standoffs and screws from McMaster-Carr. I got 40 of the standoffs next day from CA so ran to Home Depot and bought some screws. Welded standoffs to some letters and about 75% of the screws snapped off when trying to remove them. Cheap screws from China cause this issue? To hot with welder?
Ya you really have to be careful with the heat. The shorter the screw the better. If they snap youll still have thread for the other side. It can be kind of tricky to get them just right.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Thanks, ya Home Depot screws were to long and didnt leave me any threads so have to redo them. Oh well good practice. Learned the most from your videos. Thanks!
@@rizz0555 glad they were helpful. If you get a pair of wire strippers, theres a threaded hole you can use to trim screws.
I actually bought a Langmuir pro, been looking for something to hold up the longer sheets. How do you like those roller stands and do you have a link
Ya they work ok. I picked them up at harbor freight. Saw horses work well too
Thanks. I appreciate the info
YO Spicer do you grind off the zinc plating on those standoffs before you weld them
I do. Its kind of a pain. I use the 2” die grinder to do it.
FUCK YEA BROTHA THANKS@@SpicerDesignsLLC
How do the standoffs attach during final assembly? Do the just press together?
Did you watch the whole video?
I do a lot of laser work but looking into a cnc plasma, do you mind if I ask how much a sheet of steel is? I think you said it was 16 Guage? And is it a 4x8' sheet?
I like using 14 ga mot of the time. Especially if i have to weld on it. Last time i bought a 4x8 sheet it was about $110.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC thank you for the response. I appreciate it. Do you typically buy shirts of 4x8? Or do you buy them in smaller sections?
@@davefong2656 i get them in 4x8 sheets. They charge per shear so i just get a full sheet. More cost effective.
You going to fabtech this your?
This might sound bad but i havent heard of it. Ill have to check it out. Thanks for the info.
Hey man how is it going I am having trouble with changing my fusion design to gcode do you have a video in that
I do. Its titled something like fusion explained. It has a lot of views if you check my channel page. Just look up popular videos. Its the easy button video
Ok cool. Thanks so much man. It’s throwing me for a damn loop lol. I just can’t get it figured out
@@CrowWood.MetalWorks ya its kind of a pain to do the first time but once you get it, its a breeze after that
Thanks again man. Your videos are awesome.
Do you need to pay for the Advanced Arrange feature?
Im not sure on that. I dont use that feature for my layered signs.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I've been trying to use the basic arrange feature but no success.
that is a $2500 sign, not $800 or $500!
Thanks for ruining the cutting part of the video.
I have a bunch of videos of cutting. I dont know if your joking or not. I would hope so. Was more about the layering process
That will be my next project but first please make another tutorial to explain how or what to do when the program keeps saying pierce or high delay too short even though I raised the number from 1 to 2 still not cutting I hope you know what I meant since my English ain’t that good, by the way I always watch your videos
