The LED strip has an adhesive backing. I peeled off the protective paper and stuck it down in the groove on the wooden base. It's not glued to the acrylic, it's glued to the wood base. CA glue or super glue or epoxy should work. Since the acrylic sits on top of the LED strip, it shouldn't even need to be stuck down inside the groove as long as it lays flat.

Thanks Penolopy! I haven't seen them before either. I searched and was surprised no one had tried it yet.

Wow, that's great Brad! The colors are nice. So glad you could use the idea.

It's regular copy/printer paper. I used 3M General Purpose spray adhesive. The key is to spray a really light mist coat and let it dry for about a minute before you stick it on. If it's hard to peel off, then you sprayed too much on it. If it won't peel off, you can dab mineral spirits on the paper and it will peel right off, then use it to wipe off residue.

Use a pair of pliers. Grip the 1/8" rod where you want to bend it, then bend the rod.

- TheCarmichaelWorkshop commented on TheCarmichaelWorkshop's instructable Miniature Road Signs
Ok, thanks! I only made the signs in the picture. I picked signs from my childhood memories of vacations and local places. As long as you can find a picture of it, you can print it out and make one.
View Instructable »Thanks! It's a Dewalt DW788. Any scroll saw that holds pinless blades will work.
- TheCarmichaelWorkshop commented on TheCarmichaelWorkshop's instructable Miniature Road Signs
Thank you!
Hmm, not sure what you mean. These were just miniature versions of signs I like. I have made wooden signs for a neighborhood before, like No Parking and Address Number signs. Sounds like you are talking about the signs they put in front of historical national register homes and landmarks that tell the history of the place. Those are usually metal I think.
Yeah, these are currently in a box up on a shelf in my workshop to keep the dust off them. I would probably bring them out the next time I display projects for a show or something. If a company contacted me, I would just ship it to them in case they might want it for display.

I grew up in Marietta just a few miles from the Big Chicken. My parents used to take me to the Varsity as a treat. Good memories!
I've had lots of suggestions for that one. I'd never heard of it until now. I wonder if they just didn't advertise in the Southeast or something.
Thanks!
View Instructable »That sounds interesting. I'll have to search and see if I can find something like that. My kids are older now, but might be something I pass on to future grandkids someday. Glad it brought back some memories!

Name doesn't sound familiar. I'm in the Gwinnett Woodworkers Association and we have a lot a members. Usually I know people just from that. I liked the PBJ shake. I think Jim sold it now that I think about it. He does a youtube show called The Tiki Show now.
View Instructable »Hi neighbor! Yep, I'm in Lawrenceville. My high school buddy Jim started the Palookaville restaurant in that area. Is that still there? I thought about doing that sign, but went with more well known ones. Thanks for checking out the signs!

Wow, great work! Those look fantastic. I like the wood look and I'm sure the smaller sizes make it easier to find wall space to hang them. Thanks for sharing the picture and glad you could use the idea! Steve...

Thanks Peter! Yeah, I know, my wife is from England. Everyone is telling me that though. It sure has been good for engagement stats in my YouTube comments. Is this one of those things where some people know it, but some don't, so the people who know it can't help but say it? lol Kind of like when people like to point out there is an arrow in the FedEx logo. ha ha

Cast acrylic. Extruded acrylic, like they sell at lowes/hd just melts and creates a growing plastic blob around the bit.

Hey Matt! I just finished making these and they are awesome! The whole family showed up in the kitchen when they smelled them, and it's hard to get my college kids out of their rooms. lol These are the new holiday favorites. I doubled the recipe and ended up with 42 cookies. I set some aside for "Santa". Thanks for the recipe and video! Merry Christmas!

Hi Charles - I think a jig saw and coping saw could be used to cut it all out. It will just be slower and require more sanding to make it smooth. The curves on the legs and top could actually be done with just a belt sander, but use a dust mask.

Oh wow, those look great! This just makes my whole week seeing that you and your daughter made those. Nice big smiles and you two look a lot alike. I saw the movie Grease when it came out and loved it, and I remember my mom got me that 8-track tape and I wore it out. What's weird is that I just came across that record 3 months ago and bought it, and now it shows up in your picture. :)
