Hand-finishing raised dimensional lettering on a custom HDU sign
The final details are inspected and finished by hand.
CNC routing creates repeatable shapes and clean dimensional relief, but a finished sign still requires careful fitting, cleanup, alignment and inspection.
The video was recorded in our Jasper shop. Axel checks the raised letters against the routed and painted panel, cleans the edges and confirms alignment before packaging.
Axel fits, cleans and checks the raised lettering before final inspection.
The video shows Axel working on raised lettering for a custom sandblasted-look HDU sign in our Jasper, Georgia shop.
After CNC routing and painting, each finished sign is fitted, cleaned and inspected by hand before it is protected, packaged and shipped.
