LarryEA Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 DW thats professionaly done. Very nice. What are your plans for them and where would they go and be attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Larry the nameplates go on 10 Piggy Banks that are almost completed. They will reside beside the coin slot on top. They will be held on by 2 screws just like the windows for the bank. I got the order for the banks w/ nameplates from a grandmother for all of her grandchildren. I will post the order when it is completed. DW Edited August 13, 2014 by DWSUDEKUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No jig was used other than a zero clearance insert to support the letters as they were cut. I did not waste any either. I set my saw ( DW788 ) about 4 on the tension and about 4 on the speed and took my time. The reason most of the blades broke is I got impatient a time or three. I had my magnifying headset on of course. Not really all that hard, just a bit of practice. DW amazingkevin and wombatie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have lost a dozen blades but not your patience. An admirable job. Rob Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 well everyone said whaat i wanted to say so i will add WOW WOW!!! where you get the brass? Gator I got the brass sheet from Hobby Lobby here in Ohio. I do not know if they have one in your area however the major craft stores such as Michaels or one of those should have it, otherwise you can get it online.
