My First

[JimErn]

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'.

That is one fine nameplate.  I love the natural edge on the the base.  Great job.  Congratulations to your daughter.

That came out great. It looks pretty thick. What size wood did you use.

Very nicely done Jim.  She is going to really like those.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

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.

[JimErn]

Thanks to all for your kind comments, I do appreciate it.
