DVD Reviews of Sign Carving With Your Router
DVD Review: Very hands on and informative!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoy this DVD! It's fun to watch and puts you in mood to go in your workshop and get going. I like that you can actually see exactly how Jim Bartz makes relief carving. He could have spent more time covering engraved carving, but you will not be let down. Don't worry if you can't find specific software to make signs. I have been using windows power point and word pad to create fonts with ease. I find myself re-watching the dvd to learn more time and time again! DVD Review: Great Help for Sign Carvers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent source for the budding sign carver who just needs a little inside knowledge to get started. I built my own router base from 3/8" acrlic stock and went right to work. I couldn't get the drawing program to do what the video demonstrated but I found a way around that part and got the job done. DVD Review: Excellent DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
The video is great, he goes through everything you need to know, slowly and in a way that is easy to follow. It is however kind of corny, the scenery is beautiful, but the music is not too great, but that doesn't matter, overall, it's a very helpful video. Alot of other reviews I have read say that "he never tells you what program he's using on the pc". Actually he does say you can use whatever program you like, ms paint,etc, it's only important to remember that when you print out the sign, you need to select, TILE or Poster, so that the actual size prints out in different pictures. I'm envious of his shop, he has everything, what a life, make signs for a living, my dream. I recommend the video completely, all the info is presented in an easily digested manner, he does not rush anything. If your interested in creating a beautiful sign, he shows you everything you need to make it. Buy this DVD, there is nothing else out there like it. ThanksDVD Review: Sign Carving with your Router

Sign Carving with your router, it is a great CD and a excelent idea. I recomend.DVD Review: Great woodworking project !
Summary: 5 Stars
I designed my sign using the word processing program at the library, and found simple wildlife pictures in children's books to add pizzaz. I just followed the directions in the dvd and made a great sign for my Dad's birthday. My boyfriend can't believe I could do this! He is working on a design right now for his family's cabin. Great product.
