PGHFiend 140 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks everybody. I got the idea today to add a mine train-esque lantern to the back of the post, so I guess I have to his some craft stores Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stockboys10 2 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Looks great, I have been toying with the idea of doing something like that myself. I dusted off my CNC and fired up the ole woodshop last week and made a family sign for our general camping trips. I may have to borrow your idea and make a FW specific sign for when we go in the fall. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keep up the good work!Thanks, let me know if you need any measurements from it.I added a lantern I got at hobby lobby last night for about 3 bucks- it's perfect. I had a piece of band iron I hammered out and coiled and painted with bronze paint. We had some flameless candles laying around, but I'm going to turbocharge it with some strip led's this weekend. Here's the new lantern: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Very nice.......so when do you start taking orders? :rofl3:You really think people would pay for these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhall 115 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 You really think people would pay for these?I think so. Shipping would suck though. I really like the lantern add-on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 You really think people would pay for these? Yes I would, shipping mine would not be needed, we will be going thru Pittsburgh in August and probably stay in New Stanton at Fox Den Acres :rofl2: . All kidding aside I do think they would sell but yes the shipping might out cost the purchase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsey......Todd 134 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 The lantern looks great on the sign! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stockboys10 2 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 You really think people would pay for these? I bet they would. My advise offer 2 versions, bare carve and they can finish themselves and finished.... Also price higher then you would think. It is one thing when its your name on the carving and its a labor of love, entirely different chore when it is for someone else.... Just my 2 cents coming from someone who has a lot of "friends" that know I own a CNC and like to ask for "quick" jobs.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I agree, it wouldn't be cheap. I'd need 250 for the sign, maybe 400 plus for the whole set up. Just the finish I use is 35 bucks a quart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
