Popular Post JimErn Posted December 16, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 A couple of three years back my daughter was promoted to Dean at a college she worked at in Kansas. So I ordered a desk name plate from a retired cop in Louisiana off of Etsy. We got to talking about scroll sawing, and two years ago for Christmas Santa brought me a Porter-Cable. little while later and I found an EX-21 on Craigs list and I've been puttering ever since.. In October, she was promoted to Campus President of the campus in Las Cruses, and in December she earned her PH. D. So I made my first name plate, for her desk, Will be a Christmas gift. Cut with a PMG 5, and I sliced a piece of firewood on the table saw for a base. The torch on both ends is the college logo. And a big thanks to Kevin, your name plates help me envision how to do it with the descender on the letter 'y'. lawson56, bobscroll, amazingkevin and 13 others 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size wood did you use. 3/4 for the name, and the base is about 9/16. I just got the most I could out of the stick of firewood when I ripped it on the table saw.
