Last weekend I had the pleasure to be a guest speaker at this years annual User Group Meeting, held in Denver, Colorado in front of 325 very talented professionals and hobbyists. I talked about my automata project, how I designed, built and finished it. I look forward to seeing projects on the Vectric website inspired by some of the finishing techniques I shared making custom carved signs over the past 30yrs.
A Sign of Progress
Today we had the pleasure to instal an dimensional sign for the Manhattan Office of Congressman Jerrold Nadler. It makes a great selfie sign for visitors to the office.

What all the buzz is about....
We completed this residential sign for a property in Oldwick, NJ. The customer was concerned that this long lasting PVC carved sign would look too perfect. He was thrilled by the woodgrain texture and distressing we added to make the new sign look just a bit old fashioned.
