Meet this week’s content creator: Matt Bay.
Matt, aka the “Old Man” of Old Man Bay Signs, is like a walking, talking CNC. Using his trusted palm router, he carves intricate and detailed wooden signs you’d swear couldn’t be made by hand… or palm.
But for Matt, sign-carving represents a lot more than just a hobby. It has quite literally become his therapy.
After 25 years as a firefighter and first responder, Matt was diagnosed with PTSD. When he felt most hopeless, another chance at happiness came with a seemingly simple request from his wife: to make a “Welcome” sign for their front porch.
Matt made the sign… then another. He kept carving new signs for friends, family, local businesses — and with each creation, his skills improved.
Now, Matt is carving custom, hand-routed signs from segments of old whiskey barrels. It’s a slow and labor-intensive process, but the end result is spectacular.
Matt’s advice to others is simple: “Find your thing, maybe it’s sign carving, or painting, whatever it is, find something that will bring you joy and purpose.”
You can watch Matt’s sign-carving process on his website, and be sure to follow him on Instagram @oldmanbaysigns.
We’re still looking for wonderful creators to feature!
If you think you might fit the bill and have something to share with the community, then I’d love to hear from you.
