This sign was originally painted by the late Bill Piercy (my hometown's old sign painter) decades ago.
In this video, I recreate it the same way he would have made it—using traditional materials, hand-lettering techniques, and a process that predates modern shortcuts.

This project is about more than the finished sign. It’s about preserving a craft, understanding the decisions behind the work, and honoring Bill who came before me.

If you’re interested in traditional sign painting, hand lettering, woodworking, or old-world craftsmanship, this video walks through the process.
