Here's how-to dimension mdo sign video I made in time lapse video for our Letterhead Sign Supply how-to section of our website.

how to make a dimensional mdo sign

It's a simple sign for a local farmer. The first call was for a bill board, but when the owner came in, he said he want 3-d with gold leaf that he'd seen in our shop over the years. So we came up with a way to keep the cost down and give him a little of he wanted.

Samples of Gold Leaf on the wall sell work.


Hope you Enjoy!

What a wonderful video!!!
I got to see Ron working right handed.
What is the music??? The coffee song was perfect with the high speed, and the note i under the pumpkin was the best part! It will last far longer than the rest of the sign.

Ron,

That is, simply, outstanding!...Fantastic video...a "little slow" ( just kidding ), but great show. Ron, you can take that show to Vegas any day of the week and twice on Sunday and I guarantee you that you will be the headliner.

That is the kind of work we, mostly, did for Six Flags, on a daily basis, back in the days...Again, FRIKIN OUTSANDING !!

I'm glad you liked it. As far as speed goes, it was about 6 hours of video and it's hard enough to get folks to watch 26 minutes.

The kids coming in now want to see that old school and so do my clients.

Rick the music is by josh woodward, and I do letter and pinstripe right and left handed.

Growing up with a father that letters left handed when your Right handed you learn the strokes backwards, then it just take a broken hand and the need to buy diapers for you kids and you learn to be Left handed real fast.

Kelly, Jess's video was cool to see also,
Help portrait & Jess in Moose Jaw I encourage you to check it out if you havent seen it yet.

Happy Holidays!
Ron

Fabulous video! Love the sign design, the music and certainly your editing it down so quickly.

In actual time, how long did it really take you? I guess 20 hours?

Great video! I showed it to my daughter and she enjoyed it as well, which is impressive since she is a full blown teenager now! [Big Grin]

Hi Ron,

Thanks for making this video. Very interesting to see your process and compare it to my way of doing things. Many similarities, of course, but some things about your gilding confused me. One: what quality leaf did you use? Two: why did you overcoat it and what did you use for that? (I never overcoat gold leaf as I am of the opinion that it is unnecessary.)

Thanks again for your effort and *nice* showroom!
