In this video, Jimmy DiResta talks us through his process of creating a faux neon sign using laser cutting, LED strips, and poured resin.
I love videos like this where a maker talks through the experiment, discovery (and failure) process they went through in realizing their project.
As Jimmy likes to say “You go to school on the first one.” He shows the first sign he made, what he learned, and how he applied it to the next sign. And in the middle of that second sign, he had an ah-ha idea to try pouring resin into the laser-cut grooves of the letters to achieve a more vibrant, more neon-looking effect.
The results are lovely. And as Jimmy points out, the vibrancy achieved makes the sign look good and high-impact whether it’s turned on or not.
