Hi Steve,

Very nice videos.

I'm interested in how you did the signing. What tool did you use, & what is the height of the letters?

I tried searching, but couldn't find the answer.

Added after more searching: I found it. I don't know how to refer to the actual post/thread, but here's the answer.

"For signing, sometimes I'll cut the letters and other times like in this case since it was a small border to sign on I'll just poke dots with a scribe. The scribe is made from a 1/16" rotary carbide bur sharpened into a point and held in a pin vise. In the video, I am first laying out the letters by lightly scratching them on and then I go back over it and place dots. There is a picture of of the carbide scribe over in the recent bulino thread but it is in a brass tube in the picture."
