Trying to make some extra cash making address signs.

I'm very much a beginner so still making smaller projects but had fun making these. Cedar glued to pine using TB3 and sealed with poly. Numbers are laser cut cedar.

Miter Saw Help

Hi all, I apologize if this question has been brought up a million times, but I need some help choosing a miter saw. I don’t need anything too serious, because it will only get used a couple times a year. That said, I still want something that is going to last. The largest sized wood I’d be cutting is a 4x4 or a 2x6, so I don’t need anything huge. Still, I would probably still want to be able to go 8 inches wide. My budget is about $250. I found this DeWalt at Lowe’s for $250, which seemed like a great deal, but I want to get an opinion from people who are far more knowledgeable. If there’s other brands/models you recommend instead, please let me know (especially if it’s cheaper haha). Thanks in advance!

Restoring Jointer

I recently was given this craftsman jointer that spent a good amount of time in a shed. Still fires up, but I am curious what the best way to clean it up would be. Any recommendations on cleaning or other things I should look out for while getting it back in shape? The feed depth does adjust, the fence moves freely and holds square when locked in. Belt seems to be free of cracks.

Warped wood welcome sign. Will it straighten out?

I’ve had this wooden sign facing the other way for about a year or 2. Just turned it around and now it looks like this. Will it straighten out or should I scrap it?
