Check out this link to our other Youtube video where we show you how we made the sign using our custom router stencils    • How To Make An LED Sign   In this video I go through the process of making letter stencils to be used with a router and brass guide bushing kit in order to make custom signs. With this technique you can make as many homemade stencils as you like for any type sign, and the beauty of the process is the stencils can be reused infinitely, and on any sign you can think off. The stencils make laying out the sign process quick as well. Check out the companion video to this once where we used the homemade stencils and some LED battery powered lights for make a sign.
