I decided to use the 3rd glass jar to fill it with all the security envelopes that I cut into small rectangles. When I can cut longer lengths, I do it, and keep them for other projects, like gift wrapping for instance.

We finished the Golden Syrup big can yesterday, I cleaned it with very hot water, and repurposed it to store my pairs of scissors. Perfect.

Progress shots of Greg Reid and Dane Storrusten as we were building this unique piece of multi-media art for Ruinart, the renowned French champagne house in the Champagne region of Reims. This piece will be exhibited at Art Basel in Miami Beach. After its run there, it travels to New York Museum of Arts and Design where it will go to auction. Proceeds go entirely to emerging artist programs

These are cut from 1" thick MDF and then painted to resemble a bridge style support. It was loosely patterned after the Ballard Bridge here in Seattle. The supports are designed to hold up a desktop.

These are custom pieces made for a major National retailer. These are CNC machined from 3" acrylic and are cut, sanded, polished, then flamed to produce a crystal finish. Totally appearance grade from all angles and distances.

This is a 3 layer display for a custom vehicle. We created controllable lighting that contains the colors and motion effects exactly to the layers that require them. We can have any layer be any color, and even assign fades, chases, strobes, and other effects to the layers. The 3 layers of acrylic, spacers, trim, and face bezels were all machined in house. This was a piece for SEMA in Las Vegas.

Reid Signs stripped off the polyurethane coating from this guitar body and then produced deeply carved detail into the body and headstock

The shedquarters where Strawberrysoup began!

My backup drives hide behind here.

This was an experiment to see what ordinary plywood would look like with a deeply carved pattern cut into it.

Here are a few types of signs that utilize acrylic, wood, metal, and even leather.

I have done some more re-arranging. My books are now downstairs on my er... bookshelf, and I have created more space on my large table for the new projects I want to start.

Aluminum CNC Tile Wall Treatment Interior Design - Finished detail shot

This is what it was...

Reid Signs can navigate codes, restrictions, and other administrative hurdles to get your business on the skyline of Seattle. Whether it's on the side of one of the many office towers Downtown, or a storefront sign, Reid Signs can make it happen with great design and an ace installation team who can literally engineer and install "The Impossible".

We love to do historical restorations. We can bring old signs back from the dead with new glass, new paint, and electrical components that meet current code.

Or we can do a mix of restorative techniques where we get the sign lit again, but retain the original patina. Whatever the job may be, you can count on expert craftsmanship, beautiful paint finishes, concealed fasteners and power feeds, and a tight seamless fit.

I took a photo of the original TRC that comes on the Epiphone El Capitan acoustic bass. I carefully mic'd out the thickness, the size, and the hole placement (all 3 holes were slightly off center). I came up with a design that is my wife's initials along with 50 which corresponds to her 50th birthday when I gave her this instrument. Since we had the bass gone through by Kurt Bloch, it had become a true custom at that point, so I added those words as well. This file became the production file that I used to set up the toolpathing and cut strategies on our FlexiCam 5'x8' CNC router table. The original piece mic'd out at only.06 in thickness, but I increased it to .12 to accommodate the depth of cutting for the letters. Increasing the thickness also allowed for more aluminum to appear on the polished edge to make it more visually appealing.

We made 16 custom Epiphone guitars for their Presidents Club convention in San Antonio, Texas.

These projects use either single color or multi color programmable lighting to create the appropriate effect for the project. In some cases, the lighting is ambient room lighting.

I'm all moved in! My whole family worked so hard on this - from age 8 to 44. I spent a few years saving my pennies for this. I have so much more space, storage, full bathroom, office in back, big floor for classroom ... or yoga by myself. Good bye dining room. I'll be back when I'm hungry. : )

We have recently completed some fun projects using Gibson and Epiphone guitars. We just completed a beautiful J45 Gibson acoustic for Tom Morello, Shipped 3 guitars to Motley Crue, and completed a large run of 300 custom guits for Jack Daniels!

Bins of serger cone thread above the mostly organized fabric. These are two stacks deep.

This is a 3 layer display for a custom vehicle. In this view, all of the lighting is off so that you can see just the machined acrylic layers. We created controllable lighting that contains the colors and motion effects exactly to the layers that require them. We can have any layer be any color, and even assign fades, chases, strobes, and other effects to the layers. The 3 layers of acrylic, spacers, trim, and face bezels were all machined in house.

One day this summer I'm going to paint that table... maybe pink...maybe black.

This is a video display wall we built for Minotaur Mazes. It has a custom cabinet that holds GPS caching treasures and plays a video feed that teaches people how to go Geocaching.

Salesmen's sample of a Devon sports car. We got it as a plain red shell. All of the graphics were custom designed for this project as a one-off piece.
