What happens here

With the red and white outlines already established, the goal now is to carve out the inner areas of the 'The', 'Idaho', and 'Painter' text to prepare them for subsequent painting. Switch back to the SC50 Whiteside bit on your router. Carefully begin routing within the boundaries of these letters, removing the wood to create recessed areas. This will allow for painting these sections with a different color, adding depth and contrast to your sign. Take your time to ensure precise removal of wood within the designated areas.

Goal: Carve out the inner areas of the main text for painting.

Tools and materials

  • Router DeWalt — Carving the design into the wooden board
  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection during routing
  • SC50 Whiteside Bit Whiteside — Creating fine and intricate cuts for the design outlines

What they say

to do this uh this small work. So, let's get after it. Okay, we're back. So, now what I'm going to do is I've taken the SC50 bit, the really tiny one. I've taken that out and I put in my profile bit. Now, I have to give myself a little bit more room to take uh this stuff out so I don't nick the edge of the outside of the letter when I go in to do the the background. So, here we go. Oh, okay. So, you can see there's not much left in there. Uh, I'll just take the rest of that out with my cleanup bit when I get to it. So, I'm going to go ahead and do the rest of this Idaho off camera. give myself again a little bit of a breathing room or a buffer zone around there so that when I go in with my background bit, I won't hit the edge of those. So, we'll be right back and we'll have that all done. All right, so we got all of the little painter letters done. Now, I'm just going to take out the the leftover stuff in here with my 90° V-groove. So, um I'll show you how I'm going to go about doing that.
