I'm making new (and more durable) signs for my haunt this year. I just finished the rules sign...



I'm going to start on the street A-frame sign tomorrow.

I may need to do this. We certainly get some idiot kids who come through and try to ruin it for everyone..

That's a great looking and all inclusive sign. Very nice.

Nice looking sign. What are the letters made from?

thats sweet. r u a big haunter??? or r u a home haunter?

Thats nice!! Whats the dimension?

The sign in 12" wide by 24" tall and is made out of 3/4" plywood. It was made on a VersaLaser cutter/engraver. I sanded the wood and then painted it all black with basic cheap latex paint (that I've been using a ton of for this year). I then used the laser to burn off the paint to form the letters (and also slightly engrave the wood in the process). I could also do the reverse (burn off everything but the letters) but I thought this looked good and it took less time to run. I'm using thin MDF for the A-frame sign so it'll be interesting to see how the finished product looks on wood with no grain. I expect it won't be quite as interesting but since it'll be viewed at a much greater distance I don't think it'll matter.

BackYardHaunter, I'm both... a big home haunter!

Great job! Gotta love the VersaLaser.
You forgot to add to the sign: "Visitors responsible for cleaning up own urine and vomit spills"

Ha! I didn't forget... I just ran out of room! I had to remove me "No Crying like a Baby" rule too... drat!
