Signing your work PICS *LINK*

One more thing that's kinda cool...I've been using adhesive backed epoxy domes to "sign" my work for many years, and have been buying the expensive little buggers ($0.39 each per 1,000) from an outfit called caselogos.com. The one's I use are exactly 0.75" in diameter, and fit nicely in a 3/4" forstner bit counter-bore.


Recently, I've discovered a less expensive alternative for the DIY'er. If you have the capability to do a little graphic art on your PC, and then print it out on photo paper, then try this approach...you'll need the following:

- A round paper punch. They come in 1/2", 3/4" 1" and larger diameters...Michael's, eBay, Amazon and Etsy

- Correspondingly sized round epoxy domes, like these found on Etsy:

With these tools, you can come up with all kinds of unique ways to "sign" your work...




BTW, there's a very well done (and free) online graphic art application available through the link below. Things like curved text, image imports and some really wild graphics manipulation apps are all embedded in this free program...give it a try.
