    So I have been making Edge Lit LED Signs

    Here are my newest ones.

    Robert, we could add your pens to one or both sides and sell them for much $$$$

    Or I could make the pens myself.

    Yeah, we will probably use yours

    These were my first attempts at working with acrylic, which each attempt has become much better.

    They could have finished better/cleaner, but I really didn't have time before the start of the trade show to do more. I need to get my portable shaper and some things down to my house from the wood shop so that I don't have to go up there every time I need to flush trim or edge shape something.


    Also, these can be done in any color as well as change colors, flash, etc.

    PM me what you want it to say/look like, what size, etc., I will make the design, once we finalize, I will send you an invoice.

    They are still pretty bright with the lights on. To make them more dim I can flame polish the edges and it will let more light out of the acrylic, or for more money I can add a dimmer to them.

    Thanks for all the nice words. This is just the tip of the iceberg with these types of signs, and I plan to fully explore what I can do with them in the coming months

    The size of the one pictured is 12.125 inches wide by 3 inches tall. The base is 15.125 inches long by 2.5 inches deep, but I have been changing the base design to make it more contemporary. Will post photos when I have a new one done. Probably be sometime this week.

    Will the LED be bright enough to see in the sunlight, I'll be using it like an open sign?

    I will do a test today, but I have seen them in bright sunlight and they don't seem to have a problem.

    Vin,

    Sent you an email with the preview, let me know if you need something changed. Sorry it has taken so long, I had to hand trace your logo :o

    I'd love to have one of those.

    How accurate can you get? I can provide a .PNG comp of what I'd want ... along with all of the assets (line art, font, etc).

    I haven't forgotten about you either Vin, I just have been out of town more than I have been in it over the last 5 months. Should slow down soon.

    Andrew, Acrylic will take resolutions down to about .005 with the type of bit I use, so no worries on detail unless you have some ultra small lettering. That will have to wait till I have time to finish my "laser" build.
