Mike,
I am posting these in hopes of enticing some of our other Members to start making signs themselves. Other than the wrought iron hangers Corian signs can be made with existing shop tools like a hand held router a few wooden patterns and of course a laser engraver for the detail work. You don't have to own a ShopBot it just makes things easier and a bit faster if you are doing volume production runs.
It took less time to setup and engrave this sign than I would have spent engraving a large photo on black marble and the profit difference is substantial...plus the amount of sign work available is infinite.
You can purchase wrought iron hangers from various companies on the net for those who cannot make their own however most of my signs have a simple keyhole routed on the back for hanging which anyone can do with a router or drill press.
These types of signs are made using a few very simple steps so there is actually very little talent required
What increases the value is the choice of design and the quality of the materials.
