Re: acrylic carvings
Ok Tony, you've got the basics down, and look great. Now on to designing other projects. And now you know why I concentrate so heavily on acrylics. Just so much fun.
Being retired is hard work. Spending way too much time in the shop these days. (And loving it).

Re: acrylic carvings
Could you tell us how you lit the sign? Where did you get your LED's and what did you have to do electrical to connect it all?
Thank you in advance!

Re: acrylic carvings
sturgeonkm, guess Tony is busy. The lights are simply LED light strips purchased on eBay. Their 12 volt dc 1 amp lights, 5050 LEDs. Their powered by 12 v 1 amp power cords from eBay, and the wires are simply soldered to the LED connection points. Some buy little slip on plastic connectors instead of soldering, but I had a lot of trouble with them making contact. Others like them. Hope this helps. Keith

Re: acrylic carvings
Hi Tony, would you mind sharing a dxf or carve file with us? It's that time of the year again and I would really like to do one of these Merry Christmas acrylic signs.
Also do you use a vbit or diamond drag tool?
Thanks
