Name signs

[Gordster]

Four name and address signs this week.

Three stained and one painted.two with eagles. a german shepard and bichon friese dogs.

all approximately 18 inche by 5.5 inches...Slightly raised the letters.Went about 5 degrees

because of the number of letters in sign.

The letter s in prices looks slanted but it is not...must be the way I took picture.

This is why I love this site I have got some odd bits I have acquired that are around this width I was wondering what to do with then and this thread pops up and answers my question I will be sanding them down ready, Thanks Gordie I knew you would have a good idea for my bits  They came out great by the way I am gonna give that a go for sure and on wood for a change might even make myself one for my front door Thanks for sharing    Frank

Nice originality and I like the contrast you used here. From what you said, I assume the letters are part of the main board, at an angle so the are standing out from the rest of the sing,and the painted white. Is this correct?

Gordie, I love the way those came out. I couldn't tell if you painted those letters on or put a white backer on them. So your telling me that you cut those letters out at a 5 degree angle so they are raised up a little.

Thanks Ralph.Yes they are cut at five degrees, table titled to the left.

To get them to raise you have to cut COUNTERCLOCKWISE. For a recess you cut clockwise.

For example in the name price,the circle parts of the letters P and R I cut the circles clockwise first.Then the letter counterclockwise.

You can play with the angle to get the raise you want.I used 5 degrees this time because of

the number of letters in name.Most times I use 7 degrees. It is great fun because you can paint

the letters separately. One more thing is when I use stain on the body,I finish just the body

with spar varnish.If you put spar on the white letters it will turn them yellow.

Give it a try and you will see how easy it is and I am sure you will love doing them.
